POLITICAL IMAGINATIONS FOR ANOTHER POSSIBLE WORLD POSSIBLE WORLD: THE CONTRIBUTIONS OF SEN, FRASER, BOLTANSKI AND BUTLER

Abstract

In this article we put in neighborhood some topics of the thought of authors like Amartya Sen, Nancy Fraser, Luc Boltanski and Judith Butler. We were guided by the idea of political imagination – as a powerful exercise of freedom – about the dilemmas of the present around politics, democratic critique, justice, and the possibilities of emancipation, in an attitude of “disenchanted lucidity” The richness of the encounter will appear in the differences, in the plurality, in the singularity of the approaches and by the effort of a critique that refuses a world that would have become immutable and natural, ruled by necessity. These authors rehearse ways to think about solidarity, alliances, emancipation, another possible world.
