Abstract

Starting from the theoretical elaborations of Michel Foucault about power, and of Hannah Arendt about the faculties (of thinking, of acting and of the will) in the modern active life, the author returns to the Marxian critique of political alienation and to the methodological proposition of genealogy exposed by Nietzsche, to center the concept of urban exposed by Henri Lefebvre as concrete utopia in the framework of the theory of the possible formulated by Ernst Bloch.
