The City and the Dream
The essay is articulated into a long story that begins with a collection of clues about the origin and functioning of our imagination. Where do the images that have shaped the great urban utopias reside? What relationship exists between invention and entropy (including the “Bataillian” variant of the dépanse), what space do free will and technical-scientific determinism have in the project of present and future society? The essay accompanies us in the impossible search for an answer, advancing through the folds of philosophy, art and literature. In other words, it is a story about the limits of reason and the axiomatic nature of knowledge.
