POLÍTICA PREFIGURATIVA, CATÁSTROFE E ESPERANÇA
Resumo
A “política prefigurativa” tornou-se um termo comum para o ethos radical da unidade entre
meios e fins. Nesta prática ética revolucionária, principalmente devido à tradição anarquista, a luta
contra a dominação está ligada à construção imediata de alternat ivas sociais. Menos atenção tem sido
dada à maneira peculiar de imaginar o tempo que esse conceito invoca. Este artigo mostra como o
conceito de “prefiguração” se baseia em um enquadramento temporal específico, inconscientemente
extraído da teologia cristã, em que se pensa que o futuro irradia para trás em seu passado. Traçando
a prefiguração dos Padres da Igreja a ressurgimentos politizados nos Diggers e na Nova Esquerda,
argumento que esse enquadramento temporal está de fato conectado a um “processo de re afirmação”
mental, comum entre muitos revolucionários que extraíram confiança da noção de que estavam
percebendo um caminho histórico pré-ordenado.
