  • Thinking alternative futures : imagination and sensus communis through the political-aesthetic perspective
    Tepež, Karla ; Lukšič, Andrej
    Despite the general recognition of the multiple crises affecting both society and the environment, the concept of transformation remains largely confined to the dominant paradigm of growth and ... technological development. This paper aims to intervene in this debate by offering a new concept of transformation – based on the notion of imagination – for thinking of alternative futures that might form the potential for radical social change. To address the question of how to imagine the world differently, or what stimulates the processes of political (and other) invention, we first explore the concept of the imagination within the framework of Kant, Arendt and Ranciére. In its duel action, imagination goes beyond the limits of sensible experience and conceptual understanding, making possible the perception and conception of alternative configurations, which carry transformative potential. However, to open up potential futures through the imagination, it is necessary to think of it not as a capacity of the subject, but to reconceptualise it as a collective power that drives creativity – that is, as a social capacity to collectively think of potential futures that intervene in the existing and transform the existing in a moment of dissensus with the not-yet-existing. This paper thus follows two reconceptualisations of the imagination: imagination as a collective, that is a trans-subjective, capacity and imagination-as-praxis. While the first focuses on the trans-subjective moment, the latter focuses on the specific relationship between imagination and practice or, more specifically, the direct link between the experience of the imagination and its realisation. Such a conceptualisation of imagination opens up new ways of thinking about radical social change as it can lead to new forms of coexisting and new forms of collective production and action.
