Imaginar Recomenzar

Where do our lifting gestures come from? Of a certain power to end something. But also to imagine that something different is about to start again. This book proposes the elements of an anthropology of the political imagination that, as will be immediately appreciated, cannot do without a philosophy of time and history. The structure open to all directions that characterized the first volume of this investigation is now succeeded by a concentrated look at the political, intellectual and artistic moment linked to the Spartacist movement of 1918-1919 in Germany. What happens when a revolution that has raised so many hopes is drowned in blood? We discovered that, from the Despite everything! Launched by Karl Liebknecht and Rosa Luxemburg on the eve of his assassination, it is all modern thought of time and history that is once again in action, "beginning again", above all by Ernst Bloch and Walter Benjamin, the two main characters of this book (opposed to the thought of time developed at the same time by Martin Heidegger).
