T2 - Ernst Bloch’s Philosophy of Hope and the Multiversum Third, I propose that Bloch’s notion of the ‘multiversum’ offers a decolonising -non-linear- reading of history and time that enables us to decolonize prefiguration – that is, to comprehend prefigurative struggles as non-synchronous spatial temporalities emerging from a multiplicity of situations, oppressions, and relations in, against and beyond the violent ongoing process of indifference, homogenization and synchronization that underpins the accumulation of capitalĪbstract = "In the past four decades, together with workers offers a decolonising -non-linear- reading of history and time that enables us to decolonize prefiguration – that is, to comprehend prefigurative struggles as non-synchronous spatial temporalities emerging from a multiplicity of situations, oppressions, and relations in, against and beyond the violent ongoing process of indifference, homogenization and synchronization that underpins the accumulation of capital", I explore three ways in which Bloch’s philosophy of hope can enhance the theory and practice of prefiguration: first, I expose Bloch’s philosophy of of ‘possibility’ as a condition grounded in the (utopian) material world second, I present Bloch’s notion of ‘concrete utopia’ as a praxis that oposes ready- made abstract utopias, and reposition prefiguration within, and not outside, the process of accumulation of capital, mediated by the state. What are the clues to challenge the universalizing power of global capital and to decolonize prefiguration by finding adequate ways of understanding difference? This chapter addresses this question aiming to contribute to the debate around prefiguration by suggesting that Bloch’s philosophy of hope is fundamental to understanding and decolonizing prefiguration: first, it facilitates comprehension of prefiguration as possibility, based on the utopian feature of the material world second, it understands utopia as concrete praxis third, it expands the meaning of prefiguration to a plurality of struggles and movements, ranging from urban resistances to indigenous peoples’ defence of their territory against extractivism. This long-term transformation in the radical agency has awoken global solidarity, but the significant differences among these collective struggles still deserve attention. These resistances are not only rejecting the present critical condition of the planet by demanding that the state act with urgency these grassroots collectives, movements and community networks are also experimenting with alternative practices and social relations around issues of social reproduction of life amid a new global capitalist crisis deeply affecting the social reproduction of human and non-human life in the planet. The conclusion is by using hermeneutics on phenomena of utopia is explanation of hope for the perfection and liberation of man and his full realization of human freedom.In the past four decades, together with workers’ protest and strikes, subjectivities other than the organized working class – including indigenous peoples’ movements – have become stronger and more visible in the global struggle against global capitalism and for social, cognitive and environmental justice. We will find similarities between their interpretations on utopia: a.) Critique of past utopian ideas before Marx b.) Marxist idea on utopian society c.) Critique of Hegel's " end of history " d.) Idea of the end of human suffering and e.) Their interpretations what will they offer for humanity's hope. The relevance of the study in this research paper is the need for us to rethink for today's global climate with the distrust of the people to attain freedom by leaning to authoritarianism and to rekindle the hope for a better future The theoretical framework to be use are Hermeneutic phenomenology and Marxists Hermeneutics and which will be considered as a comparative analysis between Paul Ricoeur's hermeneutics on " utopia " and the Marxist interpretation of Ernst Bloch's " utopia ". That's why these struggles have never been absent in the minds and hearts of revolutionaries. Even the revolutionaries would want to realize it. This came from our desire and drive for perfection in our society. Every cultures have an ideal society which they wish to attain. That's why this theme reveals in music, arts, literature and even in religion and myths and philosophies and socio-political views and theories. Common visionaries and philosophers have interpreted what kind of society or the world we should have. Utopia is a place where it a future world, an ideal society by which it is perfect. This is what we called the vision of " utopia ". Aside from repeating experience of human sufferings and despair, one thing we all commonly share is: The hope for a brighter tomorrow were the end of struggles and the end of human sufferings have been abated.
