Description
“This volume focuses on the importance of narratives
in utopian literature. They define the world we live in and the world we wish
to live in. Through narratives of confession, and indeed through silence itself,
the unconscious emerges and desire is articulated. The articles in this volume
question and challenge the power of the word, the stability of meaning, and the
relationship between thought and action in the construction of utopia and dystopia.
They also point to the various literary frameworks of utopian and dystopian narratives,
thus connecting stories from the past, present and future of both real and imaginary
and communities.” (PL)
