Description
“The explosion of utopian
studies since the 1960s, particularly in the work of such
theorists as Herbert Marcuse and Fredric Jameson, suggests
that utopia may find its true vocation as both a critical
practice and anticipatory desire in this postmodern moment
of global capitalism. In Utopia in the Age of Globalization,
Robert T. Tally Jr. draws upon recent utopian theory to
argue that utopia is best understood today, not as an
ideal society or a future state, but as a mode of literary
cartography. The utopian project is an attempt to map
the present world system in its totality.” (P-M)
