Abstract:

Im Beitrag werden utopische Potenziale Sozialer Virtueller Realität untersucht. Beispielhaft wird die Plattform VRChat gewählt, um bestehende Soziale VR-Gemeinschaften zu charakterisieren. Im Abgleich mit Cyberpunk-Literatur und Ethnografien des frühen Internets wird deutlich, dass virtuelle Gemeinschaften besonders dann mit utopischen Formen demokratischer bis anarchischer Selbstorganisation experimentieren, wenn sie virtuelle Räume frei gestalten können und diese als genuine Lokalität erfahren.

Abstract:

The Blazing World was the first utopia in English written by a woman, and likely, the first science fiction text in English. Yet it was not Margaret Cavendish’s only utopic text. The separatist spaces of her plays, and the virtual communities of her epistolary collections, were earlier utopias that contributed to her construction of Blazing World. Cavendish established the characteristics of utopian literature through the transgression of categories and hybridity. I consider her blurring of genus, genre and gender in two of her utopic texts, Sociable Letters and Blazing World, and her strategi

Abstract:

The concept of utopia, which seems to have lost its conceptual power in the second half of the twentieth century, is increasingly returning to the center of debates on the relationship between literature and social change. Utopian thinking is now seen as a fundamental space for coming to terms with the present age—an age defined by pandemics, environmental destruction, and the threat to the narrative of freedom. But how do we go about rehabilitating utopia—itself a product of the long history of European domination—and make it adaptable to our postcolonial situation? How can the utopic be harn

Utopia and dystopia designate the human dream of happiness and the human nightmare of despair when these are assigned a place (topos) in space or time.

In realistic fictions, although social circumstances may range from the incidental to the decisive, the story of the movement to happiness or unhappiness is usually told in terms of individual achievement and failure.

Abstract:

One of the most enigmatic works of Spanish literature is a short, anonymous and untitled dialogue that could be dated to the mid-16th century. Two interlocutors, Scipio Africanus and Socrates, speak in it and decide to found not a perfect republic, but rather a modest village or aldea. Insofar as it deals with the construction of a fictitious, alternative and virtuous society, this Dialogue of Scipio and Socrates could be considered to be part of the utopian literature of the 16th century. In these pages I will consider the Dialogue’s references to ancient utopia, examine the founding of the p

Abstract:

The subject of the study is to determine the main features and vectors of development of the Victorian utopia based on the analysis of W.G. Hudson's novel "The Crystal Age". For a long time in the era of antiquity and the Renaissance, one of the main aspects of the development of utopia was the correlation of an ideal society with socio-political, economic transformations and technological discoveries. The New European utopia was in many ways a continuation of this trend, increasingly bringing together the social and technological vectors of utopianism, when social well-being was directly corr

Abstract:

The paper explores the development of the utopian and dystopian literature in the experimental and prolific period of New Wave science fiction. The genre literature of the period chiefly expressed the dissolutions of the universe, society, and identity through its formal literary devices and subject-matter, thus making it easy to arrive at the conclusion that the many SF works of J. G. Ballard’s post-apocalyptic narratives, for example, exhausted and bankrupted the utopian/dystopian dialectic. However, the article provides textual evidence from one of the most prominent authors of the New Wave

Abstract This article explores how factors such as gender and cross-religious communication frame and yield utopian perspectives in Rokeya Sakhawat Hossain's literature and practice as educator and feminist. The article makes the case that Hossain's body of work envisions utopia in complex, many-layered ways. Early in her creative career, as a member of the Muslim youth herself, Hossain created gender-just utopian visions that also embedded cross-religious dialogue and cooperation. She later became an educator, inspiring youth, particularly Muslim girls and young women, with utopian ideas and

Abstract:

Several early editions of Thomas More's “Utopia,” first published in 1516, include the Utopian alphabet, as well as a quatrain of poetry in Utopian and its Latin transliteration. This essay traces the material conditions for the Utopian alphabet, exploring the intellectual contexts and epistemological questions that underlie its presence in these early editions and its absence in others. Reproduced by four early modern European printers via woodcut, metal type, or engraved plate, the alphabet in its materiality becomes a key component of “Utopia,” underscoring the intersection between print te

Abstract:

In this paper the most important works of Russian-Soviet literary utopia and dystopia have been analysed to investigate the role of nature. In literary utopias, people and their needs are the measure of all things, and the image of a utopian future is the vision of a nature so subdued that the need to eat and sleep have been subdued as well. Yet authors, such as Chayanov, emphasise the importance of a coexistence with nature. Dystopian authors ( Platonov and Zamyatin ) see the meaning of nature symbolically. They see nature not only as an unconquerable force, but also as a force entirely imper

Abstract:

This article draws on theories of utopia, distinguishing between concepts of utopian expressions and the specific idea of utopia as an idealized space. This article argues that the concept of utopianism has led to the emergence of new areas in postcolonial studies. The term utopia traditionally signifies either a ‘good place’ or ‘no place,’ representing an idealized society characterized by harmony, equitable distribution of resources, balanced labour and knowledge systems. In postcolonial studies, utopia extends beyond economic and cultural equity to encompass alternat

Abstract:

The article deals with the role of Jan Hus in utopian constructions of the Czech interwar literature. During this period, a “wave of utopianism” was observed in the Czech Republic, it was utopia (both negative and positive) that became an extremely convenient means for understanding the complex of problems of the young Czechoslovak republic, and at that time the national element was preferred over the social one, which is also characteristic of the Slavic utopia in general. The overwhelming majority of the of utopian works at that time was written by the authors of the second and third-rate, b

Abstract:

George Bernard Shaw’s five-part play cycle Back to Methuselah (1921) has not been fully appreciated for its utopian criticality, a criticality that offers a profound reframing of longevity and old age. That it is a utopia in dramatic (rather than prose) form, deploys an unusual mix of largely comic genres and styles, pursues eccentric ideas of Creative Evolution, and is exceptionally long and unwieldy in production has led to a mostly limited and perplexed scholarly reception from within both utopian and Shaw studies. Against this context, this article unearths the utopian potential of Back to

Abstract:

USSR-2061 is a Russian futuristic online project that imagines a new USSR a century after Gagarin’s journey into space. This article connects the project to Soviet space utopianism and the nostalgia that followed it, while seeing USSR-2061 and its artefacts in the light of utopian studies. In particular, the project’s hesitation with regard to utopianism and its thirst for realism are situated within a classical utopian problem of how to achieve real, not only imaginary, transformations. Such realism generally coincides with Levitas’ (2013) framework of utopia as a method, and, as the analysis

Abstract: Growing Asian American abolition feminisms is a practice not only of politics, organizing, and struggle, but of imagination, and speculative fiction and poetry can work to inspire and sustain such imaginations. Speculative and experimental works also challenge conventions of literary realism in Asian American literature, opening generic and imaginative possibilities for Asian American feminist politics. Responding to the threats of police violence and of racialized violence against Asian North American women, Franny Choi’s queer feminist cyborg poetics open space beyond the violences

The following scientific methods are used in the study: generalization and specification, systematization, aspect analysis, comparative and historical, contrastive and structural methods. Results. The term “anti-utopia” has gone through many changes and clarifications, but even now it does not have an unambiguous definition. In literature, this concept is most often used to refer to a writer's own idea of a destroyed society. Anti-utopian works pr
