요약Against Fatalism: Brazilian Utopian Thought and Practice 1960s-Present proposes a distinct understanding of utopianism coming from the Global South. It draws on Left thinkers, artists, and social movements from Brazil to theorize utopianism as a mode of thought and practice that combats fatalism, understood in two interrelated senses: a capital-apologetic discourse that speaks of injustices as fatalities and their perpetuation as an unavoidable fate; and an attitude of resignation promoted by this discourse. From the perspective of the Global South, then, utopianism is not simply an antifatalistic thought; it is an activist praxis, in Paulo Freire's sense of an indissociable unity of reflection and action aimed at changing unjust conditions.Yet, how can utopianism itself be repaired in a moment in which many of us find ourselves submerged in fatalism? As various studies of utopianism from recent years, this dissertation shifts attention from utopian literature to utopian practice, especially performance: Freire's pedagogical essays and educational practice; projects by the Landless Workers' Movement (MST); Augusto Boal's set of techniques known as Theater of the Oppressed; and the theater of contemporary group Estudo de Cena. It also shifts attention from representation. In contrast to utopian literature, these practices do not represent alternative societies. Rather, they transmit elements that are vital for sustaining activist utopianism, such as a Freirean understanding of the future as a challenge to be addressed in the present through political action. Drawing on such utopian practices, then, my dissertation argues that the promotion of such views nurtures utopianism, which, thus nurtured, can sustain us against fatalism.
