Sinopse

In Mundo em disputa , philosopher Marcia Tiburi discusses in an accessible way how narratives about hopelessness are created and offers tools to position oneself against this harmful practice.

Turning on the television or opening a smartphone and watching from the couch climate disasters, wars, massacres, and virtual lynchings has become commonplace in the 21st century. The general feeling of powerlessness in the face of horror leads to the naturalization of catastrophe, the subject of this book's analysis.

In *World in Dispute: World Design and Naturalized Dystopia* , Marcia Tiburi debates general dystopia, questioning the functional disappearance of utopia in our time. Tools and traps of language, communication, and the structure of domination are examined to explain the codified functioning of a world in which suffering is the rule. "Patriracialcapacitalism," or PRCC, is the term the author uses to expose the articulation of oppressions that generate suffering and affect all earthly beings, human and otherwise.

The philosopher unveils the conceptual and narrative struggle over what constitutes "the world," considering that the world "is what is created in language, and language defines the limits of the world, and what we call the world ultimately defines what we can do in terms of language." Through mirroring, twisting, and sensitive reflections, Marcia Tiburi presents readers with ideas that help us understand what "the world" is for Western culture. A concept so complex and strangely abstract, yet inescapably real.

World in Dispute: World Design and Naturalized Dystopia arrives at a time when understanding the mental, linguistic, and concrete power games in which we are inserted is the key to escaping the prisons in which we are situated and, from there, re-proposing the utopia of life.
