Resumo: In this article, I try to answer some concerns raised by Patrícia Vieira’s article about the place of utopias and dystopias in the contemporary world. I underline the need to think of these historical categories based on the problems of historical consciousness and temporality from the perspective of Reinhart Koselleck, in order to locate contents and meanings emanating from these temporal representations. With Hayden White, I suggest the usefulness of evaluating the links between historical imagination and textual creation to connect the meaning of texts and social expectations. Finally, mobilizing the concept of presentism and the idea of closing the future, I try to understand this particular temporal experience of the beginning of millennium with the expansion of dystopias and the permanence of old and new utopias.

Sublinho a necessidade de se pensar estas categorias históricas a partir dos problemas da consciência histórica e da temporalidade na perspectiva de Reinhart Koselleck a fim de localizar conteúdos e sentidos emanados a partir daquelas representações temporais. Com Hayden White sugiro a utilidade de se avaliar os vínculos entre a imaginação histórica e a criação textual, a fim de conectar o sentido dos textos e as expectativas sociais. Por fim, mobilizo o conceito de presentismo e a ideia de fechamento do futuro para tentar compreender essa experiência temporal particular deste início do milênio com a expansão das distopias e a permanência de antigas e novas utopias.Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina2021-01-15info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/esbocos/article/view/7309010.5007/2175-7976.2020.e73090Esboços: histories in global contexts; Vol. 27 No. 46 (2020); 390-404Esboços: historias en contextos globales; Vol. 27 Núm. 46 (2020); 390-404Esboços: histórias em contextos globais; v. 27 n. 46 (2020); 390-4042175-79761414-722Xreponame:Esboços (Online)instname:Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC)instacron:UFSCporhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/esbocos/article/view/73090/45297Copyright (c) 2021 Julio Bentivoglioinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessBentivoglio, Julio2021-01-15T10:35:54Zoai:periodicos.ufsc.br:article/73090Revistahttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/esbocos/indexPUBhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/esbocos/oaiportaldeperiodicos.bu@contato.ufsc.br||esbocos@contato.ufsc.br||2175-79761414-722Xopendoar:2021-01-15T10:35:54Esboços (Online) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC)false
