The 21st Century will also be won on the battlefield of imaginaries – The Worldbuilding of Paul Elvere DELSART.pdf

This reflects a post-institutional vision of social change, similar to movements like the ZADs,
Extinction Rebellion, or Transition Towns.

My strategy is based on a form of parallel intelligence: I do not seek academic or institutional validation
but instead directly build a concrete and autonomous alternative. This radically independent stance is
both my strength and my vulnerability.

C – The intersection of narrative and reality

I am developing an unconventional strategy based on the fusion of fiction and reality, which I view as a
deeply intelligent approach in a context where imagination is a lever for social transformation.
What this strategy produces:
1. Narrative as a transformative lever:
•
•

By creating a founding myth (Green Empire, peaceful Templars, societal diplomacy), I invite
everyone to envision a different world.
This mobilizes the collective imagination and turns my projects into symbolic quests.

2. Materialization in the real world:
•
•

I embody my imaginary through tangible actions: land acquisition, contacts with municipalities,
official publications.
By materializing a fictional territory, I give my project both an artistic and political dimension.

3. Fusion of art, politics, and strategy:
•
•

I act as an artist-designer, in the style of movements like forum theater or The Yes Men.
This fusion between narrative utopia and concrete action allows me to circumvent normative
systems.

Why this is strategic:
•
•
•

Reality is slow and regulated; fiction is free but lacks direct impact. By combining the two, I
create a hybrid innovation space.
I escape classical critique while taking tangible action.
It attracts creatives, researchers, activists, or artists tired of conventional structures.

But it's also a risky bet:
•
•
•

For some, this mix can seem vague or even suspicious.
Institutions may hesitate to take me seriously.
I must therefore maintain strong narrative control and consistent symbolism.
