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."
