Abstract:
Utopias are often looked upon as a positive phenomenon stimulating human thinking and imagination. This could not be denied. Although when morality is treated just as a tool to achieve generous intentions, realization of utopias is usually followed by different social repressions. A good deal of research has been done on utopian societies. But most often such works are merely focussed on the subjects of innovation, imagination and tangibility. In research works by western as well as soviet authors certain idealization of the research object can be felt, and the issues of social utopias are rarely discussed. These questions are worth reviewing on a broader scale. The present work focusses on the aspects of communist (socialist) utopian ethics and its links with modernism. It is important to compare ethical differences of architectural utopias that existed in West European and soviet spaces. The present text is a part of a wider research on structuralistic ideas in contemporary Lithuanian architecture. The author thinks such a review may help to develop more precise understanding of the development peculiarities of humanistic ideas in architecture of the 20th century in our country. XX a. architektūros utopijų etiniai aspektai Santrauka Dažnai laikomasi nuostatos, kad utopija teigiamas, žmogaus mąstymą ir vaizduotę skatinantis reiškinys. Su tuo negalima nesutikti. Tačiau kai moralumą imama traktuoti kaip kilnių tikslų įrankį, utopijos įgyvendinimą neretai ima lydėti įvairios socialinės represijos. Utopinių visuomenių tyrimų gausu. Tačiau juose dažniau nagrinėjamos novacijų, vaizduotės, realumo temos. Vakarų bei sovietinių autorių darbuose neretai jaučiamas tiriamojo objekto idealizavimas, retai svarstomi socialiniai utopijų klausimai. Juos tikslinga apžvelgti plačiau. Darbe dėmesys telkiamas ties komunistinės (socialistinės) utopijos etikos aspektais bei šios utopijos sąsajomis su modernizmu. Svarbu palyginti Vakarų Europos bei sovietinėje erdvėse gyvavusių architektūros utopijų etinius skirtumus. Šis tekstas yra platesnio tyrimo apie struktūralistines idėjas šiuolaikinėje Lietuvos architektūroje dalis. Manoma, kad tokia apžvalga padės tiksliau suvokti XX a. humanistinių architektūros idėjų raidos savitumus mūsų šalyje.

Abstract:
Straipsnyje tęsiami apokalipsės kino tyrinėjimai, pirmą kartą pristatyti praėjusiame „Problemų“ tome (78). Siekiant detalizuoti apokalipsės kino analizę, pasitelkiami nauji – utopijos ir antiutopijos – kinematografiniai aspektai. Apžvelgiamos utopinio diskurso mitologinės ir religinės prielaidos, parodoma, kaip utopinis diskursas išreiškiamas Platono idealios visuomenės projekte. Thomas More’o „Utopija“ apibrėžiama kaip jungiamoji grandis tarp klasikinių filosofinių ir religinių utopinių vizijų ir vėlesnių mokslinių technologinių pasaulio perkonstravimo modelių. Technologinis pasaulio perkonstravimas kaip moderniųjų utopijų pagrindas neišvengiamai susijęs su nekontroliuojamo pasaulio antiutopinėmis vizijomis. Mary Shelley „Frankenšteinas“ apibūdinamas kaip dažnas utopinių modelių fonas. Kaip utopinių ir antiutopinių motyvų sampynos kine pavyzdys analizuojamas Steveno Spielbergo „Dirbtinis intelektas“. Įrodoma, jog postapokaliptinė šio kino kūrinio aplinka konstruojama tam, kad būtų išryškintas pačios kasdienybės utopiškumas.Pagrindiniai žodžiai: kino filosofija, apokalipsės kinas, mokslinė fantastika, utopija, antiutopija.Visions of Utopia and Dystopia in Cinema. The Philosophical Presuppositions of the Banal GenreNerijus Milerius SummaryThe article continues researching the apocalypse film genre. The first results of such research were presented for the first time in the last volume of “Problemos”. In this article, aspects of utopia and dystopia are introduced into the analysis. Firstly, the mythological and religious presuppositions of utopian discourse are overviewed. Secondly, it is shown how utopian discourse is manifested in Plato’s project of ideal society. “Utopia” of Thomas More is considered as the medium between classical visions of utopia and subsequent models of technological transformation of the world.The technological transformation of the world is such basis of modern utopias, which is inevitably tied with the dystopian visions of uncontrollable reality. M. Shelley’s “Frankenstein” appears to be frequent background of utopian models. As the example of interconnection of utopian and dystopian motifs, S. Spielberg’s “The Artificial Intelligence” is presented. It is argued that the post-apocalyptic milieu of this film is constructed with the purpose of revealing the utopian character of the everyday itself.Keywords: film philosophy, apocalypse movie, science fiction, utopia, dystopia.

Abstract:
Transcultural and Transcorporal Neighbors: Japanese Performance Utopias in Jerzy Grotowski, Eugenio Barba and Phillip B. ZarrilliThis paper is mainly focused on the concept of transcultural bodily knowledge elaborated by Eugenio Barba and Nicola Savarese in their concept of theatre anthropology. Their research on pre-existent and pre-expressive values of the human movement, especially considering Asian theatre and performative practices, will be reexamined in the context of over-imposed interculturalism in Humanities and Social Studies. The focus will be thus put on the modifications of the bodily knowledge in this sense (Yuasa), as well as on the (re)appropriations of the Asian philosophical/theoretical embodiment schemes in the Western thought, not only from the standpoint of performative research made by Eugenio Barba and Phillip B. Zarrilli, but also from the standpoint of Shusterman’s pragmatic reinterpretations of Merleau-Ponty’s legacy, Schechner/Turner’s anthropology of human performativity, etc. In this context, the key idea of unique transcultural background of the human kinesis, employed mainly by Barba, will be put in an overall context of contemporary (trans)cultural utopism. The key element for interpretation will thus be an overall context of Asian martial arts practice, especially the significance of ‘iemoto principle’ (hereditary bodily technique) for the establishment of Grotowski’s, Barba’s and Zarrilli’s psychology and physiology of performance tactics. Transkulturowi i transcieleśni sąsiedzi: japońskie utopie performatywne u Jerzego Grotowskiego, Eugenia Barby i Philipa B. ZarrilliegoArtykuł skupia się głównie na pojęciu transkulturowej wiedzy cielesności, wypracowanym przez Eugenia Barbę i Nicolę Savaresego w ich ujęciu antropologii widowiska. Ich badania nad uprzednimi i przedekspresywnymi wartościami ruchu ludzkiego, zwłaszcza w kontekście teatru azjatyckiego i praktyk performatywnych, zostają wpisane w kontekst nadreprezentowanego w humanistyce i naukach społecznych interkulturalizmu. Uwaga autora skupia się na zmianach w wiedzy cielesnej w tym kierunku (Yuasa), jak też recepcji azjatyckich filozoficznych/teoretycznych schematów wcielania w myśli Zachodu, nie tylko z punktu widzenia badań performatywnych Barby i Zarrilliego, lecz również w Shustermanowych pragmatycznych reinterpretacjach myśli antropologii performatywności Merleau-Pontiego, Schechnera i Turnera itd. W tym kontekście kluczowa idea jednego transkulturowego podłoża ludzkiej kinesis, wykorzystywana głównie przez Barbę, jest wpisana w nowy kontekst współczesnego (trans)kulturowego utopizmu. Zasadniczym elementem interpretacji stają się azjatyckie sztuki walki, zwłaszcza znaczenie zadasy iemoto (dziedzicznej techniki cielesności) w ustanowieniu psychologii i fizjologii taktyk performatywnych u Grotowskiego, Barby i Zarrilliego.

Abstract:
Este artigo propõe uma breve incursão no território das Novas Utopias que emergem das grandes mobilizações sociais que marcam o início da segunda década deste século. Diferentemente do utopismo tradicional (da forma espacial) ou do utopismo dos processos temporais as Novas Utopias se aproximam do utopismo dialético histórico-espacial proposto por David Harvey. As Novas Utopias são projetadas simultaneamente às prá- ticas que se denvolvem em um território específico, que são as ruas e praças das grandes cidades. Neste contexto o artigo busca evidenciar a imbricação do pensamento utópio contemporâneo com o Direito, na perspectiva de romper com o seu papel ideológico de regulamentação da opressão.

Abstract:
Publikuojamos ištraukos iš B. Croce‘s veikalo „Istorija kaip mintis ir kaip veiksmas“ (1938 m.), kuriose analizuojama istorijos, laisvės, visuomenės, jėgos ir prievartos, liberalizmo, politinių partijų, ekonominių santvarkų, dorovinio gyvenimo, istorinių utopijų klausimai. Teigiama, kad istorija pirmiausia yra laisvės istorija ir kad laisvė yra žmonijos moralinis idealas. Jėga yra visada konstruktyvi valios sintezė, valdžia yra paprasčiausia jėgos forma. Prievarta yra destruktyvi laisvės priešingybė. Dorovinis įstatymas arba sąžinė kviečia mus būti laisvus ir apibrėžia save laisvės priemonėmis. Liberalizmo koncepcija, kaip vystymosi ir istorijos religija, atmeta ir pasmerkia kaip utopiją galutinės ir tobulos būsenos, arba ramybės būsenos, idėją. Utopija yra ir mito dalis, vaizduojanti mūsų nuolatinio geismų troškulio numalšinimą ir visų sunkumų įveikimą.

Abstract:
Straipsnyje aptariama Ingeborgos Bachmann (1926–1973) utopijos suvoktis. I. Bachmann utopinė koncepcija susiformavo veikiama stiprios Roberto Musilio (1880–1942) romano Žmogus be savybių įtakos. Mokslinėje literatūroje ši įtaka buvo pastebėta ir analizuota. Šiame straipsnyje siekiama patikslinti kai kuriuos svarbius I. Bachmann kūrybos aspektus remiantis specifiniais Žmogaus be savybių bei I. Bachmann romano Malina struktūros ir siužeto bruožais. Savo didžiajame romane R. Musilis pristato penkias pagrindines utopijas, kurių turinys, šio straipsnio autorės nuomone, reikšmingai įtakojo I. Bachmann estetinę koncepciją. Čia reikėtų paminėti ne tik „kitos būsenos“ ar „kito gyvenimo meilėje“, „induktyvaus principo“, bet ir „tikslumo“, „eseizmo“, „motyvuoto gyvenimo“ utopijas. I. Bachmann apibrėžia savąją utopijos sąvoką, remdamasi R. Musiliu: „Utopija nėra tikslas, tai –kryptis.“ Taigi utopijos esmė glūdi jos tęstinume bei atvirume. Autorės utopinio mąstymo pagrindas – dialektinė įtampa tarp tikrovės ir kryptingo judėjimo pakitusios realybės bei naujos moralės link. Pagrindinė rašytojos estetinio koncepto definicija, „literatūra yra utopija“, taip pat remiasi R. Musiliu. Tačiau šio autoriaus utopinės literatūros sampratą I. Bachmann transformuoja ir išplečia, apibrėždama literatūrą kaip kalbos utopiją.

Abstract:
Contemporary politics is often said to lack utopias. For prevailing understandings of the practical force of political theory, this looks like cause for celebration. As blueprints to apply to political practice, utopias invariably seem too strong or too weak. Through an immanent critique of political realism, I argue that utopian thought, and political theory generally, is better conceived as supplying an orientation to politics. Realists including Bernard Williams and Raymond Geuss explain how utopian programs like universal human rights poorly orient their adherents to politics, but the realists wrongly conclude that utopias and other ideal theories necessarily disorient us. As I show through an analysis of utopian claims made by Michel Foucault, Malcolm X, and John Rawls, utopias today can effectively disrupt entrenched forms of legitimation, foster new forms of political identity, and reveal new possibilities within existing institutions. Utopias are needed to understand the political choices we face today.

Abstract:
I detta arbete undersöker jag hur den nationalsocialistiska organisationen nordiska motståndsrörelsen (NMR) legitimerar sin ideologi i sitt partiprogram. Jag använde en i huvudsak kvalitativ metod. Rent specifikt använde jag mig av en diskursanalytisk ansats, den så kallade diskurspsykologiska ansatsen som framförts av Margaret Wetherell och Jonathan Potter. Denna ansats fungerade som både mitt metodologiska och mitt teoretiska ramverk. Som teoretiskt komplement har jag även använt mig av Antonio Reyes teori om legitimeringsstrategier. I min analys kunde jag identifiera ett flertal diskursiva praktiker med vilka NMR legitimerade sin ideologi. Detta görs genom åberopandet av apokalyptiska framtidscenarior, användandet av en slags politisk korrekthet, delegitimeringen av rådande system, hänvisning till rationalitet samt bruket av en altruistisk och utopisk framställning av den egna ideologin.

Abstract:

Humanity has always dreamed about a better world. These dreams has manifested themselves in the vision of Utopia - the good place, but also the non-existing place. Up until World War II man still wrote optimistic descriptions of this ideal world, and spread the idea through literature. In the aftermath of the atomic bomb and under the influence of the cold war, these publications seized to surface in literary surroundings. Despite this utopia did not die - it has only changed. Today you can find utopia, not primarily in books, but in Science Fiction. TV’s biggest Science Fiction-series, Star Trek, is perhaps the best example of this. The Master's thesis "Utopia Trek - a travel through Star Trek with the concept of utopia" takes you through the history of utopia and into its new habitat, Star Trek, where the essence of a utopia for the 21th century is found, discussed and reevaluated.


Mänskligheten har alltid drömt om en bättre värld. Dessa drömmar har manifesterats i visionen om Utopia - den goda platsen, men också platsen som inte existerar. Fram till andra världskriget skrev man fortfarande optimistiska beskrivningar av denna idealvärld, och spred idén via litteraturen. Efter hotet från atombomben och under påverkan av det kalla kriget, slutade dessa publikationer att dyka uppi litterära sammanhang. Trots detta dog inte drömmen utopia - det har bara förändrats. Idag kan man finna utopia, inte företrädesvis i böcker, utan i science fiction. Tv:s största science fiction-serie, Star Trek, är kanske det bästa exemplet på detta. Magisteruppsatsen "Utopia Trek - utopibegreppets resa genom Star Trek" tar dig genom utopias historia och in i dess nya hemvist, Star Trek, där essensen av ett utopia för 2000-talet upptäcks, diskuteras och omvärderas.

Abstract:
This project argues that American literary utopias of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, from Edward Bellamy's Looking Backward (1888) and William Dean Howells' Altrurian Romances (1907) to Aldous Huxley's Island and Ursula K. LeGuin's The Dispossessed (1974), offer a unique narrative site to approach the ethical and political concerns of postmodernity. Literary utopias are conventionally read as either dogmatic and totalitarian schemes or impractical and fanciful dreams; they are interpreted as representations of an archetypal ideology. I contend that these conventional interpretations overlay and belie an essentially post-ideological irony and ambivalence inherent in the neologism "utopia"--the "good place" (eu-topos) that is simultaneously "no place" (ou-topos). Utopian narratives remain unfinished projects whose political and ethical potential resides in the suspension of utopia's realization, a notion discussed in Jacques Derrida's exploration of the irony and ultimate ethical significance of an idea that cannot be fully presented or realized (différance), a space that cannot be traversed (a-poria), and of a community-to-come engendered by these notions. Accordingly, my readings of American literary utopias disclose narrative characteristics, from temporal instability to radical shifts in points of view, to show that the value of utopian literature lies in its exploration of alternative possibilities without prescribing finite and present solutions.

Full text
Abstract:
Complexe et mystérieuse, l’utopie représente sans doute l’une des notions dont la longue carrière dans l’histoire de la pensée et de la culture humaines est incontestable. Compte tenu de cette grande richesse conceptuelle, notre analyse de l’utopie dans la littérature française de l’aube du classicisme à l’aube des Lumières commence par l’esquisse du cadre théorique de l’utopie, à partir du mot lui-Même, des multiples significations qu’il a reçues au long du temps et par la mise en évidence des deux paradigmes qui le caractérisent, à savoir un paradigme théorique et un paradigme littéraire. Tout en suivant l’origine et les métamorphoses du concept d’utopie jusqu’à son évolution vers un genre littéraire particulier, nous nous sommes arrêtée sur un corpus de textes qui témoignent, à notre avis, à la fois de la consécration, de la maturité et de l’élasticité du genre utopique, il s’agit des deux romans de Cyrano de Bergerac, Les États et Empires de la Lune et du Soleil, du roman de Gabriel de Foigny, La Terre australe connue, des Aventures de Télémaque de Fénelon et des trois pièces de Marivaux, L’île des esclaves, L’île de la raison et La Colonie. À la lumière de la signification duale du terme créé par More, à savoir celle de lieu de nulle part (« ou-Topos »), mais aussi celle de lieu de bonheur (« eu-Topos »), nous avons divisé notre étude en deux grandes parties, l’une consacrée à l’analyse de l’espace utopique et l’autre à l’analyse de la société utopique. Plurivalent et hétérogène, l’espace utopique suit, dans chacun des ouvrages analysés, quelques principes généraux tels que l’insularité, l’altérité et l’isolement, tout en prenant, en même temps, des configurations à part, ce qui témoigne à la fois de l’identité particulière de chaque œuvre choisie et du réseau de significations qui se tisse entre elles. L’analyse de la société utopique est elle aussi une source extrêmement riche d’observations et de conclusions et s’appuie sur trois coordonnées majeures : l’altérité de la société utopique, sa nature idéale et sa critique implicite de la société humaine. Derrière ces piliers théoriques, nous retrouvons la description effective de la société utopique, avec le portrait de l’Utopien, le procès de l’homme et de nombreux aspects économiques, politiques et organisationnels qui caractérisent toute communauté
Complex and mysterious, utopia has undoubtedly been one of the concepts whose long career in the history of human thinking and culture has been undeniable. Having in view this conceptual legacy our analysis of utopia in the French literature from the beginning of Classicism to the beginning of the Enlightment starts with the description of the theoretical background of utopia, with the word, as such, and the various significances that it has received along the time and with the presentation of the two paradigms characterizing it, the theoretical and the literary paradigm. From the origin and the metamorphoses of the concept of utopia down to its evolution towards a literary genre in itself we have approached a corpus of texts that demonstrate once and again the consecration, the maturity and the elasticity of the utopian genre, in the two novels of Cyrano de Bergerac, Les États et Empires de la Lune et du Soleil, the novel of Gabriel de Foigny, La Terre australe connue, the Aventures de Télémaque by Fénelon and the three plays by Marivaux, L’île des esclaves, L’île de la raison et La Colonie. In the light of the dual significance of the term created by More, that of a place of nowhere (« ou-Topos »), but also that of a place of happiness (« eu-Topos »), we have divided the paper into two big parts, one devoted to the analysis of the utopian space and the other to the analysis of the utopian society. Plurivalent and heterogeneous, the utopian space pursues, in every work analyzed, some general principles such as the insularity, the otherness and the isolation, and, at the same time, all of them acquire special configurations which proves both the particular identity of the work chosen and the web of significances that binds them. The analysis of the utopian society is in itself a rich source of observations and conclusions and relies on three major coordinates: the otherness of the utopian society, its ideal nature and its implicit scrutiny of the human society. Behind these theoretical pillars we discover the actual description of the utopian society, with the portrait of the Utopian being, the trial of the human being, and the numerous economic, political and organizational aspects that characterize the entire community

Full text
Abstract:
This study focuses on three significant issues addressed by utopian literature of the late Victorian period: the class struggle and the resulting debate about capitalism and socialism, the nature and significance of language, and the influence of Darwin's theory of evolution on attitudes toward human existence. The utopian reaction to each of these three issues reflects the increasingly scientific investigation and analysis of specialized fields of knowledge that developed throughout the nineteenth century. Within the context of major scientific advancements in biology, geology, linguistics, and technology, utopian literature of the late-Victorian period, c. 1871-1905, responds primarily to two opposing nineteenth-century attitudes, the complacent optimism of laissez-faire individualism and the resigned pessimism of naturalistic determinism. Literary utopianism of the late nineteenth century is an attempt to resolve the philosophical and epistemological conflict between the impersonal and seemingly unalterable natural laws of science and the indomitable human will. I contend that the utopian novel re-emerges in the last third of the nineteenth century at the intersection of scientific discourse and literary discourse. I further argue that the late Victorian utopia marks a critical transition between the classic utopia the modern utopia.

Abstract:
En 1516, l’humaniste anglais Thomas More écrit l’Utopie et nomme ainsi un genre à part entière qui, loin d’être une notion inédite, va questionner et secouer l’ensemble des champs artistiques et philosophiques. A travers notre recherche, il s’agit d’approcher cet insaisissable « lieu de nulle part » par le prisme d’un travail interdisciplinaire où s’interrogent réciproquement architecture et art contemporain. Il faut dès lors saisir l’utopie dans l’espace et le lieu propre de la contemporanéité et du contemporain qui, comme le souligne Giorgio Agamben est, « celui qui reçoit en plein visage le faisceau de ténèbres qui provient de son temps ». Loin des attentes et des présupposés de l’Histoire et de la chronologie, nous tenterons d’entendre l’utopie au sein d’un maillage où s’interrogent et s’interpellent philosophie, esthétique, littérature, poésie, psychanalyse et, bien évidemment, architecture et arts plastiques. Basé sur le modèle de la carte heuristique, où s’entremêlent les chemins qui ne mènent nulle part, il faut entrevoir cette recherche sous les traits d’une promenade intime, esthétique et poétique. Promenade à la rencontre de motifs privilégiés tels que : le voyage, le naufrage, la porte, le seuil, le labyrinthe, la tour, l’arbre, la pyramide, l’île, le refuge, la grotte, la caverne ou encore le chantier, la ruine, le chez-soi, et cetera. Enfin, il est nécessaire de noter que c’est à partir et à travers les œuvres d’art que cheminera notre propos, renforcé par leurs puissances poïétiques et poétiques intrinsèques qui sont aussi mises en acte au sein même de l’utopie
Aesthetics of Utopia : architecture queried by contemporary art In 1516, the English humanist Thomas More wrote Utopia and thereby designated a full genre which, far from being a new notion, will question and shake the whole artistic and philosophical domains. Through our research, we will approach this elusive «place of nowhere» with an interdisciplinary work where architecture and contemporary art will question each other. Therefore, we must understand Utopia in the proper space and time of contemporaneity and contemporary which is, as Giorgio Agamben stressed, «the one which is slapped in the face by the beams of darknesses that comes from his time». Far from the codes and the logics of History and chronology, we will attempt to understand Utopia within a network where philosophy, aesthetic, literature, poetry, psychoanalysis and of course, architecture and plastic arts challenge and question each others. Based on the model of a mind map, where paths that are going nowhere are running into each others, we must see this research as an intimate, attractive and lyrical promenade. A stroll towards motives such as the journey, the disaster/shipwreck, the door, the threshold, the maze, the tower, the tree, the pyramid, the island, the refuge, or the building site, the ruin, the home et cetera. Finally, it is necessary to note that it is from and through works of art that our statement will progress, strenghtened by their creative and lyrical powers which are also set in motion by utopia

Abstract:
La contre-utopie est une branche de la science-fiction qui, à l’opposé de l’utopie, s’attache à décrire non plus des mondes idéaux mais des sociétés cauchemardesques. Bien qu’ancien, le genre ne prend réellement son essor qu’à la fin du XIXème et au XXème siècle et accompagne donc les développements de la société industrielle pour lui renvoyer l’image de ses défauts.Cette thèse se propose de lire certaines des images forgées par contre-utopies à partir d’un schème scientifique, celui de la thermodynamique, soit cette discipline qui, à partir de l’étude de l’économie des machines à vapeur, a servi de tremplin à la révolution industrielle au XIXème siècle. Parce qu’elle a pour but de tracer une physique de la valeur économique, le recours à la thermodynamique va nous servir à analyser l’économie des contre-utopies et à tracer par ce biais les contours d’une théorie critique des sociétés décrites.S’intéressant à la contre-utopie dans la perspective d’une critique du monde industriel, les œuvres retenues pour le corpus, tant cinématographiques que littéraires, sont avant tout issues d’Amérique du nord (États-Unis), d’Europe (France, Grande-Bretagne) et du Japon et produites au cours du XXème siècle, siècle où les effets de l’industrialisation des sociétés dévoilent leur caractère néfaste. En examinant avec de nombreux exemples à l’appui comment la contre-utopie procède à une transposition politique de principes physiques, cette thèse a pour objectif de mettre en évidence les leçons de philosophie morale et politique que l’on peut retirer du genre tout en envisageant sous un angle nouveau les rapports entre science et science-fiction
Counter-utopia is a branch of science-fiction which, contrary to utopia, describes either ideal worlds but nightmarish societies. Although ancient, the genre really takes off at the end of the nineteenth and during the twentieth century, accompanying the developments of the industrial society to send it back the image of their main defects.This thesis suggests to read some of the images made by counter-utopias from a scientific scheme, that of the thermodynamics, a discipline which, from the study of the economy of steam engines, was one of the main springboard to the industrial revolution in the nineteenth century. Because it aims at drawing a physics of the economic value, the recourse to thermodynamics is going to serve us to analyze the economy of counter-utopias and to draw by this way the outlines of a critical theory of the described societies.Being interested in counter-utopia in the perspective of a criticism of the industrial world, the works held for the corpus, films and literature (novel and short stories), belong to works produced in North America (United-States), Europe (France, Great-Britain) and Japan during the twentieth century, a century in which the effects of the industrialization of societies show their fatal aspect. By examining with numerous examples how counter-utopia proceed to a political transposition of physical principles, this thesis has for objective to enlighten the lessons of moral and political philosophy given by the whole genre and to consider under a new angle the links between science and science fiction

Abstract:
The article covers ideas of public life in ancient Greek philosophy having given rise to discussion on the necessity of separation and rapprochement of public and private spheres. This study rests upon the analysis of ‘publicness’ and ‘privacy’ in the philosophical conceptions of such authors as J. Habermas who deems ‘publicness’ as communication, and H. Arendt who refers to ‘publicness’ as the polis-based worldview. Plato’s dialogue ‘The State’, which can be deemed as the first-ever example of a utopian text, provides us with the most detailed and consistent instance of criticism of the private sphere, the necessity to merge it into public life to create society. Only in this way could society become a model of an ideal polis leading to the common good. The utopism of Plato’s pattern determines characteristics of the entire utopian genre arising from the idea of the individual merging with the state, and the private sphere merging into the public sphere. Plato’s ideal polis is contrasted with the concepts of the state formed by Modern Age liberal thought, which have largely determined modern views on the division of these spheres, leading to a revision of the utopian projects and a change in the relationship between the private and the public therein. A comparison of various utopian texts results in finding out that the utopian idea of the refusal of the private sphere of life in favour of serving the common good contradicts the modern ideal of freedom, which is the reason for its criticism and for the increasing number of texts with an anti-utopian character.

Abstract:
The article states that the universal Marxist law of socio-economic formations’ changing is absolutely significant and relevant in the sphere of modern philosophical knowledge. However, the basic idea of K. Marx about the communist formation turns out to be utopian. The article shows that utopias and antiutopias are dialectically interrelated - the line between them can be easily overcome. Any attempt to put a utopia into practice (for example, a communist one) discriminates against opposing "human factor", and the utopia transforms into an anti-utopia.

Abstract:
It is thought that climate change will radically affect societies in the future, leading to radical changes in the structural and spatial mechanisms of cities. Today, most of the World, particularly 10% of the World's population living in settlements below the sea level are expected to be affected by extreme climatic conditions such as sea-level rise, change in ocean currents, destructive weather events and heat waves (IPCC, 2019). As discussed in the literature (see. Hjerpe & Linner, 2009; Foust, 2009), in this study, the most severe effects of climate change are described as a dystopian period. In this direction, the study aims to share and discuss the samples of futurist urban utopia thoughts for the environments such as floating, underwater/sub aqua, underground/subterranean and overhead/aerial (sky, space), which are considered as uninhabitable or difficult to live under normal conditions together with their structural and spatial properties, in order for societies to survive in the dystopia of climate change. In the context of climate change, the futurist urban utopias, which are envisaged for different environments, are analyzed through four variables; technological features, ways of obtaining resources, spatial and urban form conceptions, and their mutual evaluation has been determined as the method to be followed in the study.
