SUMMARY:

Beyond presentism, thinking about the city is primarily wondering about the future of the communities, societies and social groups that inhabit it. This reflection is also prodigious in outlining a perspective on what type of city we want to think about and build for the future. The premise of this text is to bring reflections on how the imagination of utopian/dystopian cities can, broadly, contribute to the construction of an increasingly inclusive city, which contributes to the emancipation of its citizens, with access to rights and, mainly, with the end of racism or, more daringly, refounding modernity beyond the constraints of the presumption that there are people who are worth more or less compared to others. To construct this reading of the city, it is necessary to understand it beyond its own spatiality in order to understand urban space as a “persona” that can greatly contribute to the way we are inserted in it. Thus, this research has the premise of analyzing the way in which landscape and urban space are inserted and demonstrated in the duology “Brazil 2408”, by Lucien Marcelino Ernesto, from Rio de Janeiro, and in the works “ Parable of the Sower” and “Parable of the Talents”, by the American Octavia Butler. Reflecting on how the imagination of a future can contribute to an effectively emancipatory project.
