The researches should engage the problems involved in the definition of a direction among the contemporary lefts which contemplating the imagination of other futures. In doing that, this proposal highlights the future as a fundamental subject, meaning to question the critics to the present and how we arrived at where we are, but also analyze the characteristics of possible futures, of future imaginaries. Since nowadays we recognize the dismissal of the notion of "progress" as the model for the future, our interest is thinking of how the future appears in the configuration of contemporary politics though.
