ABSTRACT

Some of the intellectuals of the generations of the utopia were notoriously influenced by a very disperse multitude of epistemological avenues and the works of Karl Marx, Antonio Gramsci, Sigmund Freud, Raymond Williams, Jean-Paul Sartre, Virginia Woolf, Jacques Lacan, Paulo Freire, among others. Such generation of utopia reflects an era in which “the conflict broke out on the streets over the uses of knowledge”, sparking belligerent battles between those who “wanted to turn knowledge into military and technological hardware or into techniques of administrative control, and those who saw in it a chance for political emancipation”. The generation of utopia was responsible for helping to frame and stimulate a fantastic and more than just utopia in a given utopian generation, a generation that, while quite sentient that “the only reality is the eternal present, the undying now”, refused and challenged the ‘chaos and its rhythm’ of such a present and foresaw another “infinite as then the possible”.
