De la captura subjetiva a la imaginación colectiva: aportes para pensar otros mundos posibles

Abstract

The possibility of other worlds does not depend on the political will of the moment, much less on mere technical innovation; rather, it rests on the ability of societies to recognize themselves in their social bonds in everyday care and shared imagination. Today, we are facing profound transformations in the world order. It seems to be undergoing a process of fracture and instability that highlights the fragility of the current geopolitical balance and rekindles fears of a possible mass destruction of humanity, similar to that which marked the great wars of the 20th century. The proliferation of local armed conflicts and military interventions in different countries, often justified by unconvincing arguments, suggests that the global governance system is undergoing a period of reconfiguration. In certain respects, this process seems to evoke the dynamics of international order organization that emerged after World War II. The works that make up the first issue of Volume 25 of Psicoperspectivas do not respond to a single thematic call for papers, but converge -from different theoretical and empirical angles- around the questions that this editorial has attempted to articulate: how subjectivity is constituted in contexts of uncertainty, what forms contemporary unrest takes, and in what ways new possibilities for collective life emerge at the margins and in connections. The articles gathered here come from different disciplinary traditions and institutional contexts, and in their very diversity they reflect the vitality of a psychology that does not shy away from questioning its own time.
