Résumé:
''Pathways to Utopia'' explores how Brazil's ''Landless Workers Movement'' (''Movimento dos Trabalhadores Rurais Sem Terra", or MST), against all odds, has endured for forty years as one of the world's largest social movements—while transforming the way we understand the temporality of activism. Taking his cue from MST members and their generational struggle for land and justice, anthropologist Alex Ungprateeb Flynn reveals how the movement's longevity stems not only from its strong organization and collective vision but also from the productive tensions between established utopian ideals and emerging counter-utopian practices. Perceived by some as a shortcoming, this friction has proven to be a generative force, sparking creative gestures that reimagine social relations and ensuring the MST's adaptability in an ever-changing political landscape. Flynn chronicles the everyday lives of families navigating an extraordinary political reality over a fifteen-year period. At the heart of ''Pathways to Utopia'' is the realization that activism is not a momentary act but an ongoing, relational practice—one where even the smallest community actions reverberate, reshaping the very structures through which people seek to change the world.

Restituer la parole des ami-e-s de lutte, articuler les « je » et « nous » d'alors et d'aujourd'hui, faire retour sur des faits et affects peu connus du public français, analyser « l'épidémie de la représentation » consécutif à l'apparition du sida : telle est l'entreprise de cet ouvrage, conçu par Elisabeth Lebovici comme un véritable « discours de la méthode », où, toujours, le personnel est politique. Engagée aux côtés des activistes français et américains de la lutte contre le sida, observatrice privilégiée, en tant qu'historienne de l'art et journaliste, des débats et enjeux des années 1980 et 1990, l'auteure analyse ce moment charnière des liens entre art et activisme, qu'elle revisite avec sa mémoire de témoin, en survivante affectée. Monographies, entretiens et essais thématiques composent ce volume, rédigé de manière assumée-- la seule possible-- à la première personne. Il propose ainsi une cosmologie élective-- d'ACT UP à Dana Wyse, d'Alain Buffard à Zoe Leonard, de Lionel Soukaz à Mark Morrisroe, entre autres--, illustrée par des archives et ephemera qui soulignent l'importance du graphisme dans la lutte contre le sida. Embrassé par une création originale du collectif lesbien fierce pussy, « Ce que le sida m'a fait » est un ouvrage nécessaire pour comprendre les « années sida », cette période d'une créativité artistique et activiste née de l'urgence de vivre et du combat pour la reconnaissance de tous--tes.
