ABSTRACT

The invitation to think about the place of love in the organisation of new forms of more convivial life reveals the potentialities of non-hegemonic utopian models to channel impulses, desires and affections that promote other emancipatory modes of organisation of power. This invitation is timely when the old emancipatory perspectives based on the technical, economic, cultural and political rationalities inherited from the Enlightenment lose their regulatory capacity. As the modes of governance of a certain epoch become increasingly ineffective in managing the dire threats that weigh upon the destiny of humanity in this 21st century, events impose the search for new utopias.
