Utopia, memoria e indeterminatezza. Passaggi dalla tradizione all’innovazione

The essay explores creative processes, emphasizing hetero-dox imagination, the notion of utopia, and the metaphor of movement. If, as Ernst Bloch put it, thinking means ventur-ing beyond, in a way that does not keep under or skates over what already exists, theory here is adopted to grasp the link between thought and movement. The study of utopia reveals how socially embedded actors historically understand the present, offering an engaging perspective akin to a history of the present, where positively valued traits emerge in a given semiosphere. Bloch’s premise is reiterated: the realm of pos-sibilities is the chief constraint in devising thought, especially the utopian sort.
