The crucial question we ask today is: how do we reinvent the space of politics in the conditions established by the neoliberal globalization process? The last decades were characterized by the overshadowing of politics, subordinated to economy and market forces. About this issue, key to consider the possibility of alternative emancipating projects, it is necessary to reflect on justice, equality, freedom, social bonds, the problem of representation and the new social movements of resistance. From this appeal to subjects and the invention by social forces, it is necessary to reactivate the instituting forces of utopia to join freedom and equality in the horizon of another globalization. The project of a fair and sympathetic society will only be possible by a creative way of thinking, which would dare to consider what has not been considered before, the lines of flight, the event.

Keywords : Politics; Utopia; Democracy; Globalization.
