Imagens do futuro: Risco e responsabilização na gerência neoliberal do amanhã

Abstract

Images of the future. Risk and responsibilization in neoliberal management of the future A historical and global phenomenon, the contemporary sense of the future distances itself, in many ways, from that experienced by other past futures. Acting as a type of bio-political machine of the possible, it has the most minute effects on subject's daily life. A hypervisibility of the future where the pretentiously precise images participate in the installation of anticipation as a general program in the culture of risk. In this neoliberal governmentality, however, not all predicted risks can (or should) be visible: a hermeneutic gradient about these risks and non-risks is installed in everyday life. Reality that weakens collectivities and reduces the spectrum of the possible to economic diagrams of late capitalism.
