Le rêve éveillé contre la normalité destructrice de la grisaille bourgeoise. Ernst Bloch et les utopies concrètes
Daydreaming versus the Destructive Normality of Bourgeois Grisaille. Ernst Bloch and Concrete Utopias

Summary/Abstract: This article is devoted to Ernst Bloch’s concept of the daydream. First, I will present some funda mental categories of Bloch’s thought, such as the cold and hot currents of Marxism and concrete utopia. In the second part, I will focus on the originality of Bloch’s concept of the daydream, which he constructs from his critique of psychoanalysis. Finally, I’ll outline a contemporary problem that keeps Bloch’s thinking alive and relevant, despite certain limitations: climate crisis and the return of concrete utopias.
