A metaphorical path through the fractures of capitalism

Nowadays there is a need to process the current massive economical and financial crisis and take advantage of the crisis as a moment to rethink what kind of world we want to live in. If it is true as Hölderlin argues, that where danger grows, so does that which saves, then the crisis can be interpreted as the opportunity to reconfigure the conditions of our lives. These new conditions cannot be conceived as an imaginative and utopic blueprint detached from reality and historical contexts. Rather they are something that is already working beneath the existing paradigms: marginal transformative potentialities that need to be named and given space. This paper will focus on these potentialities by building a metaphorical discursive path where fireflies, religion and profanations play a central role
