This is a varied collection of thought-provoking essays, bringing together a number of viewpoints from around the globe and from internationally reknowned academics.The editors argue that we are living in a repetition that must be stopped – if our goal is that the signifier “humanity” remains in the following centuries, the time has come to work in the present. The objective is not to deliver precise or quick answers, but to gather varied voices from different continents, bringing together different languages, ideas, practices, theories, thoughts, and desires. In the words of Yanis Varoufakis, “urging us to become agents of a future that ends unnecessary mass suffering and inspires humanity to realise its potential for authentic freedom.” To leave the concept of a manifesto open, the contradictory aspects of the chapters are a subject of the manifesto itself. This is a manifesto of contradictions that reflects our reality as well as our struggles and our aspirations.
