Description
"The essays and testimonies in this volume bear witness to the pervasiveness of utopianism in our lives and utopia’s centripetal force. Asked to write a short paper on the motto “utopia matters”, the contributors to Part I of this volume testified to the importance of utopianism in their lives. [...] In order to map contemporary utopianism, the essays in Part II of this volume focus on three different aspects of utopia: the section on theory problematizes the role of utopia; the section on politics examines the praxis of utopia and, finally, the section on literature and the arts dwells on utopian/dystopian visions of our times."
