Today, would not the appropriate utopia have to be globalized, the</div> <div>whole earth brought under the wing of that butterfly, fluttering so well</div> <div>and so fast? But we can also envisage the renewal of utopian energies</div> <div>more historically. No-one has captured that other tempo more strikingly</div> <div>than Jameson, in one of those unexpected sentences that are his signature.</div> <div>It comes from Brecht and Method, where he writes:</div><div><br /></div> <div><i>Stasis today, all over the world—in the twin condition of market and globalization,</i></div> <div><i>commodification and financial speculation—does not even take on</i></div> <div><i>a baleful religious sense of an implacable human nature; but it certainly</i></div> <div><i>seems to have outstripped any place for human agency, and to have rendered</i></div> <div><i>the latter obsolete. That is why a Brechtian conception of activity</i></div> <div><i>must go hand in hand with a revival of the older precapitalist sense of time</i></div> <div><i>itself, of the change or flowing of all things; for it is the movement of this</i></div> <div><i>great river of time or the Tao that will slowly carry us downstream again to</i></div> <div><i>the moment of praxis.</i></div><div><br /></div> <div>Lao Tse floating towards Marx. Is the torrent of capital now churning</div> <div>too fast for such a rendezvous? Later, Jameson raises that objection himself.</div> <div>Others might question the paradox of an activism delivered by a</div> <div>drift with the stream. But the power of the image remains. It requires</div> <div>no attentisme. The Tao Te Ching is also a cry of social anger, a ça ira of</div> <div>its times. ‘Exterminate benevolence, discard righteousness’—‘the people</div> <div>will be a hundred times better off’. Few words knock so sharply on our</div> <div>door, in an age of institutional piety of which Confucius could only have</div> <div>dreamt. Should we call them too utopian?<br /><br />(sent from Mr. Toscano)<br /></div></div><span style="border-collapse: separate; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal;
