- Title
Liberdade segundo a esperança: imaginação e escatologia a partir de Paul Ricoeur e de Jacques Lacan.

- Abstract
It is in the light of a kerygmatic axis of hope and freedom that Ricoeur seeks an approximation of "maturity" between philosophy and theology. The kerygma works as a passport to a new intelligence. Hope is a kind of "decentering", between metaphor and parables, on the one hand, and the extravagance of things narrated and Kingdom, on the other. In The self in the mirror of the Scriptures (present in Amour et justice) Ricoeur affirms something fundamental from this relationship. If the function of the symbol in Ricoeur is to configure the space of meaning, the symbol in Lacan is detached from any question of meaning. Its function, he says, is even "to mean nothing". A close confrontation between Lacan and Ricoeur around these three themes - the symbolic, the real and the imaginary - is useful to describe the possible obstacles of representation in relation to the interpretation of eschatological claims, for imagination in Ricoeur has fundamentally to do with the creative (poetic-metaphorical) power of language, while imagination in Lacan refers to an effect of alienation in the image that, precisely, hinders the creativity of subjective life.
