Abstract

ROLDAN, Eugenia. The public counterspheres of Kluge and Negt: experience, fantasy, utopia. Nómadas [online]. 2017, n.47, pp.65-79. ISSN 0121-7550.

The article proposes an alternative public sphere that is able to counteract the current obstruction of experience, according to the theoretical and aesthetic approaches of Alexander Kluge and Oskar Negt. For these authors, the utopian possibility of a public space capable of imaginatively reinventing other methods of communicating experience remains through fantasy, not in the language of rational discourse as Jürgen Habermas has stated. The article concludes that the idea of utopia concerns an unceasing veriication of how the real world is and how imagined historical events coexist obstinately and are also part of reality.

Keywords : public space; Alexander Kluge; Oskar Negt; critical theory; experience; fantasy.
