O sentido alegórico no tempo da asfixia: o olhar dialético como método crítico

Abstract

Based on the reflections presented in Franco Berardi’s book, “Asphyxia”, this article explores the interconnection between imagination, allegory, and dialectical imagery as critical operators pointing towards a possible future. This future emerges as a response to the acceleration that stifles thought and the ability to conceive possibilities for action and social autonomy. The study underscores the importance of language and the dialectical perspective when analyzing the contemporary landscape, highlighting these tools as essential means to gather the fragments and ruins of a fragmented world. Through them, it becomes possible to construct bridges of meaning across the abysses and obscurities present in a world in a state of crisis.
