| Opis: | This article reinterprets Walter Benjamin’s philosophy of history by foregrounding his engagement with Charles Fourier as central rather than marginal. It argues that Benjamin’s use of Fourier’s utopian ‘wish-images’ introduces an anticipatory dimension often overlooked in scholarship dominated by themes of catastrophe and rupture. Fourier’s hedonistic materialism– centred on passions, plea sure, and transformed relations to labour and nature– provides Benjamin with conceptual tools to expand historical materialism beyond economic critique toward imagination, sensuousness, and happiness. By situating Benjamin between Marx and Fourier, the article reveals how here configures Marxism to integrate utopian projection with materialist analysis. Fourier’s images are interpreted not as naïve fantasies but as historically grounded expressions of collective desires embedded in capitalist modernity. Ultimately, the study proposes a ‘utopian materialism’ in which critique and anticipation are inseparable, offering a framework for understanding emancipation as both structural transformation and the liberation of everyday life and human capacities. |
