Performances utopiques : réimaginer le commun
Published on Thursday, November 07, 2024
Abstract
Confronted with the acute crisis of the constitution of the common, from the representation of the citizen to its articulation in the social body, the reconfiguring capacities of utopic imagination will be examined from a variety of contemporary aesthetic reflexions and practices which redefine the relationships between peoples, institutions, and their ecologies.

Argument
Confronted with the acute crisis of the constitution of the common, from the representation of the citizen to its articulation in the social body, the reconfiguring capacities of utopic imagination will be examined from a variety of contemporary aesthetic reflexions and practices which redefine the relationships between peoples, institutions and their ecologies. Within the understanding that utopic practice, in the same gesture, projects modes of inhabiting still to be realised and critiques the underlying facticity of the present, in this convening thinkers, researchers, architects, curators and artists will examine the immanent impacts of utopic discourses and practices. This instance of collaborative work and search for a necessary language of understanding between academic disciplines and artistic practices, and the fluidity that unsettles these distinctions, at the antipodes of evasive illusion, seeks to emphasize and assume the very responsibility inscribed in the utopic as a mandate to make space for what has not taken place.
