Transgressão e utopia: Fausto na estética de Ernst Bloch:

The purpose of this article is to present transgression as a fundamental dialectical category in Ernst Bloch’s philosophy. For this, we start from Bloch’s original interpretation of Goethe’s Faust. The relationship established between Philosophy and Literature in Faust’s analyzes reveals that the conceptualization of Fausto as a model figure of transgression is the cornerstone, in literature, capable of moving an aesthetic reflection about the utopian potentialities of art.
