Abstract:
ResumenEste trabajo tiene por objetivo reflexionar sobre tres cuestiones: ¿Qué son la utopía y el pensamiento utópico?, ¿qué función cumplen ante la crisis civilizatoria actual? y ¿qué tan pertinente es pensar hoy en propuestas como la de Buen vivir como utopía? Para ello se expone brevemente cómo se entienden la utopía y el pensamiento utópico, recuperando el trabajo de algunos autores que se consideran, en este caso, claves. El objetivo es encontrar características comunes que se conjugan para construir una noción actual de utopía y de pensamiento utópico. Posteriormente, se desarrolla la idea de necesidad de las utopías ante el momento crítico actual por el cual atraviesa el planeta y la humanidad. Finalmente, concluimos poniendo en diálogo la utopía y la crisis civilizatoria a través de la propuesta emergente del Buen vivir como alternativa al desarrollo y sus potencialidades.Palabras-clave: Utopía, Buen vivir, Crisis Civilizatoria, Pensamiento Utópico, Vivir Bien Crise Civilizacional e Utopias: Boa Vida como uma PossibilidadeResumoEste trabalho tem como objetivo refletir sobre três questões: o que são a utopia e o pensamento utópico?

In order to feed these discussions, we briefly describe how utopia and utopian thinking are understood by recovering the work of some key authors. Our main objective is to find common characteristics that will allow us to combine and propose an updated notion of utopia and utopian thinking. Subsequently, we elaborate on utopia’s necessity for current world and humanity crisis. Finally, we conclude our discussion by addressing utopia and the civilization crisis through the emerging proposal of Buen vivir as an alternative for development and potentiality.Keywords: Utopia, Utopian Thinking, Buen Vivir, Vivir Bien, Living Well, Crisis of Civilization

Abstract:
This article considers Utopia’s unethical practices alongside The City of God’s understanding of the earthly polity’s relationship to eschatology. In Augustine’s view, within the earthly city every person could potentially become a friend of the heavenly city in time, and the existing political situation must always be rendered partial and incomplete against the telos of eternity. These convictions stand in conspicuous contrast with Utopia. The Utopian system is in important ways founded on institutionalized practices which not only exclude non-Utopians (or ex-Utopians), but also habituate them to vice. Examining Utopia alongside The City of God illuminates how this ethical problem in Utopia is not just a matter of individual practices or institutions, but rather derives from a more fundamental metaphysical and theological outlook. Not only is Utopia invested in a Utopian/non-Utopian distinction; more significantly, this distinction has a tacit eschatological role, since Utopian thinking implies that degradation of one’s capacity for virtue decreases one’s potential to be saved.

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:
This article is meant as an invitation to further the use of the concept of utopia as a heuristic tool among historians of ancient Israel for the purpose of reconstructing the world of ideas of the late Persian period Yehud. To do so, and given that the term “utopia” may be and has been used in different ways, it advances, first, general considerations about an heuristic, pragmatic understanding of “utopia” and “utopian images” that may be particularly helpful for these purposes. Then it advances a number of observations about utopia and utopian images that were evoked when the literati of the late Yehud read and reread their authoritative corpus of texts. These observations deal, among others, with matters of exploration and certainty in the relevant community, of hope, of restoration and restorative utopias; they deal with issues of temporality as past, present and future utopias were construed and with the existence of multiple memories of utopias and multiple utopias. They address the issue that utopianizing tendencies led to memorable vignettes but not to memorable road maps, they do not fail to mention matters of utopia and power, and they conclude with issues for further discussion. On the whole, this article illustrates how “utopia”-informed approaches may shed light on the intellectual discourse of this community, while at the same time noting crucial differences between utopias and utopianizing tendencies both now and then that must be taken into consideration.

Abstract:
The central concept of this article is the idea of utopia as an optimistic image of a societal order achievable in the distant future. Tracing the process of gradual decline in the emergence of new positive utopias through examples of literary dystopias over the last century, the author proceeds to discuss the topic of the end of utopia. The idea is that, despite its long existence, it is only recently that the absence of new models for a happy future becomes critical, that utopia begins to be recognized as a problem. In this regard, the author proposes to temporarily shift researchers' attention from the already fairly well developed matters of the characteristic features, signs, and functions of utopias of past centuries to factors contributing to the formation of social utopias in culture. Most theorists point to active transformational processes in societal structures and relationships as a factor stimulating the emergence of new utopian ideas, which the author admits to being true, but insufficient. An equally important factor is the obligatory presence of a certain subject of utopia. At closer examination, it seems that the status of the subject of utopia in the contemporary world is largely problematic for many reasons, unlike the subject of classical utopias of the modern era. Firstly, the idea that any utopian project could be brought to fruition raises serious concerns. Secondly, the tendency to perceive utopia as a naive project significantly reduces the degree of its possible influence on the way of thinking and the direction of social change. Thirdly, the lack of clarity about the subject's qualities required to create utopias hinders active creativity regarding new utopian projects. This, in turn, is directly related to the ongoing unresolved problem of the “death” of the subject, brought forth by postmodern philosophers. Against this background, there is a notable inconsistency of contemporary attitudes, which are focused, on the one hand, on the debunking of the subject as an exclusively rational being, and, on the other, on the rationalization of utopian impulses. In conclusion, the author puts forward a thesis about the need to regard the absence of utopia and the absence of a subject as causally interrelated situations. Finally, an idea is proposed about the priority of solving the problem of the subject in comparison with the problem of the end of utopia, or, in other words, about the impossibility of starting the process of forming new utopias until there is clarity about the figure of the new subject and the image of the new person.

Abstract:
Abstract In political theory, utopia is traditionally understood as representing a beautiful but impossible state of affairs. By contrast, the majority of scholarly works in utopian studies understand utopia not as a blueprint for a perfect society but as an indirect critique of the contemporary status quo. The aim of this article is to propose a distinction between utopias and ideal theories. To do so, the article adopts a working definition of utopias that emphasises the formal characters of utopian works (detailed narrative), and compares utopias with ideal theories, which are abstract in kind. After articulating this distinction through some paradigmatic examples (Plato, More, Rawls), the article argues that a better understanding of this difference may help us improve the debate. The article also argues that ideal theories, unlike utopias, are less tainted by the objection that ideals are practically irrelevant.

Abstract:
Benjamin&rsquo;s thinking on hope and utopia permeates his philosophical endeavours, from his earliest writings (<em>Zwei Gedichte von Friedrich H&ouml;lderlin: &ldquo;Dichtermut&rdquo;&ndash;&ldquo;Bl&ouml;digkeit&rdquo;</em>, <em>Theologisch-politisches Fragment</em>, and <em>Goethes Wahlverwandtschaften</em>) to <em>&Uuml;ber den Begriff der Geschichte</em>. The fortitude of Bloch&rsquo;s encyclopaedic work on utopia and hope, sustained in <em>Geist der Utopie</em> and <em>Das Prinzip Hoffnung</em> has been applauded by Benjamin. Adorno, who stated that everything he ever wrote was influenced by <em>Geist der Utopie</em>, presents an illuminating analysis of &laquo;the adventure story of the journey to utopia, whose radiant image Bloch would like to recapture&raquo;. Bloch&rsquo;s exploration of diverse historical conceptions of utopia from Thomas More to Marx has prompted Adorno to observe that Bloch has &laquo;unrolled a whole series of different types of utopian consciousness&raquo; and to conclude that &laquo;there is nothing like a fixable utopian content&raquo;. Tracing the convergent and the divergent conceptions of hope and utopia in Bloch, Adorno, and Benjamin enhances the polyphony of utopian endeavours.

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 strategic development of the blurring of these categories.

Abstract:
&lt;p class="Standard"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-GB"&gt;The academic character of the article is connected with the attempt to answer the question asked in the title: Utopia without the law – is it possible? The theoretical arguments provided by the author lead to an affirmative answer to this question and allow for formulating the following thesis: there is no utopia without the law. The law is not only present in utopias, both positive and negative ones (anti-utopias and dystopias) but also, to a great extent, determines their existence and functioning. As a result, it links utopian thinking to reality. Any answer to this question is possible and justifiable in the academic discourse. According to the author of this article not only the law is present in the utopia but the law in the utopia must exist. The essence of the law in utopias is justice, but there is not justice in utopias without wisdom. The Bible, Roman law and philosophical and legal reflection were the sources of an approach to law for the creators of utopia. Referring to the views of such thinkers as: Plato, Immanuel Kant, Rudolf von Ihering, Gustav Radbruch, Karl R. Popper, Bronisław Baczko, the author states that the law is an integral part of both worlds: the utopian world and real world. So, there is not utopia without the law as an idea of jusctice, implemented into the social life of the people who are intelligent beings.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Abstract:
The paper considers the utopian discourse in Latin American culture late XX — early XXI centuries. The interpretation of utopia as one of the markers of Latin American identity forces us to pay special attention to this phenomenon. The analysis of the Latin American utopian tradition demonstrates the intensity of utopian thinking on the continent, as well as the productivity of its comprehension in the works of Latin American authors. The conceptual growth of the general Latin American reflection on utopia is associated with its practical aspect, which is at odds with the Anglo-Saxon tradition of thought perpetuating utopia as a literary genre. The methodology of textual and cross-cultural analysis used in the article made it possible to identify the main names (A.Reyes, A. A. Roig, G. Cerutti Guldberg, F. Ainsa and others) and original images and concepts that are inherent in the Latin American tradition (“laboratory of European utopias”, “utopia for others” and “our right to utopia”, “utopian function”). As well as it is possible to reveal research paradigms and scientific schools.

Warfield, Angela Marie. "Utopia unlimited: reassessing American literary utopias." Diss., University of Iowa, 2009. https://ir.uiowa.edu/etd/271.

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.

I will start my thesis project with an analyse of current innovations in technology and new materials to find out what possible potential they may offer for new design solutions. The focus will be on inventions of disruptive technologies of the past and the present and how they change our way of life. An interesting point is to draw conclusions from how the consequences of these technological milestones impact our everyday life. An example is the influence of the internet (in the bigger and the smaller scale): it changed our way to purchase goods, to find a partner and to get e-services. In an experimental way I will build up scenarios of a possible future based on this technological knowledge. The hypothetical utopias and dystopias will evoke new questions and theories. In the research phase I will among others illustrate classical and modern utopias and dystopias. I will try to capture the spirit and the trends of both, visionary scientists and designer/architects/ar-tists to describe fears and hopes of the future.<br>Master / InSpace 2009

Abstract:
When I observed Japan from a distance for the first time, I found a similarity between Japanese society and the idea of 'Utopia, 1 and I became interested in society as subject matter. Researching Plato and Thomas More's ideas of 'utopia 1 was the starting point of my research. When I realized Utopia is indeed a place without freedom, I became interested in the other 'possible world/ a world different from our reality. I have been obsessed with the idea, and I began making artworks related to the idea. 'Heterotopia 1 seemed to have a strong connection with the 'possible world, 1 and Michel Foucault became essential for my theoretical study. I spent a year researching on the theory, which later became the foundation of my studio practice. Along with these theoretical studies, I researched photographs of children which were related to the subject of my digital practice. By analyzing the work, I developed and understanding my practice. I improved the interdisciplinary aspects of my work by researching related artworks and films, and developed advanced techniques in digital media and collage. After studying the theory and writing the proposal for the Professional Doctorate programme, I found it difficult time for me to organize my ideas and relate these thoughts to my practice. The critical reviews helped me to reconsider my work and its presentation. While concentrating on my study and practice, I collaborated with other artists and designers in professional practice. I also curated a group exhibition, and the experience expanded my art practice in a new way.

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.<br>Department of English

Resumo : Este trabalho sistematiza a reflexão de uma proposta metodológica sobre o ensino da literatura para alunos adultos em escolarização básica - de Ia à 4a série. Inicia-se com a delimitação do quadro educacional brasileiro no que tange à educação de adultos. Em seguida, apresenta a concepção de linguagem e alfabetização que estará perpassando toda a discussão sobre a constituição da práxis pedagógica para com o texto literário. O capítulo seguinte trata especificamente da questão da oralidade, uma vez que os alunos adultos possuem um acervo oral bastante rico, mas utilizam formas de falar não prestigiadas socialmente. Além disso, o domínio de formas orais tradicionais dominadas pelos adultos podem ser o ponto de partida para o trabalho com o texto literário escrito. Aprofundando as discussões sobre alfabetização, o capítulo que trata da alfabetização e literatura procura amarrar à concepção teórica apresentada uma proposta para o trabalho com o texto literário para adultos que se alfabetizam. Este capítulo trata separadamente de textos poéticos e narrativos, a fim de discutir a especificidade de cada gênero. Como os alunos a serem atendidos são alfabetizandos e alfabetizados, o capítulo que se segue procura sugerir formas de se trabalhar com essa diversidade a partir do domínio lingüístico de cada aluno, tendo como base o resgate da cultura oral, o trabalho com a diversidade de textos e com a intertextualidade.

Abstract:
AbstractThis introductory chapter paves the way for a reconciliation of Utopian Studies, philosophy of technology and political philosophy. It introduces the general idea of vindicating technological utopias and engagement with them. The value question is being moved to the fore of the present essay, sidestepping the quest for a definition to unresolved methodological problems. A commonsensical idea of utopia is not a priori flawed; its value still remains unclear. Some paradigmatic technological utopias are introduced.

Abstract:
AbstractThis chapter shows how reading a utopia from the perspective of social knowledge production can furnish new understanding of the practice of private conversation in early modern Europe in “Talking Privately in Utopia: Ideals of Silence and Dissimulation in Smeeks’ Krinke Kesmes (1708)”. Taking the example of Hendrik Smeeks’ Description of the Mighty Kingdom of Krinke Kesmes, the chapter explores how dissimulation and silence became tools of privacy within utopian writing. Benison’s findings on dissimulation as a virtue in the Kesmian society challenge the standard focus on the ethic of public transparency governing early modern utopias, as in Thomas More’s depiction of Utopia’s total lack of privacy.

Tortia, Ermanno C. "The Social Economy and Utopia." In CIRIEC Studies Series. CIRIEC, 2024. https://doi.org/10.25518/ciriec.css6chap8.

Full text
Abstract:
This chapter considers utopia as prospective statements about social realities, representing “pole stars” for developing social thinking in development programs and policies. It aims to reconstruct the concept of utopia from a social economy point of view, striving to highlight what conceptual criteria can be used to classify different types of utopias, especially “feasible” and “unfeasible” on the one hand, and “good” and “bad” utopias on the other. To achieve these results, elements of complexity theory, social systems theory in the social sciences, and critical realism in philosophy are considered. Some examples referred to organization in the social economy are used to show how definitions and conceptual categories can be applied to real-world cases, or to utopian ideas that achieved some degree of relevance in culture and science (Hedrén, 2014).

Full text
Abstract:
AbstractOften utopias are dreams with little theoretical basis or are banned as abstract “complete other”, that cannot be thought of today. Categorical utopia is a method for discussing and examining non-existent socio-economic systems. It is based on a thorough critic of existing society and develops an alternative based on explicit considerations about human beings and society. Categorical utopias lay out their theoretical basis so that both their foundations and their developed socio-economic system can be discussed scientifically. Therefore, it can be possible to turn utopias into science. At the end of the chapter, some limits and dangers of utopia are discussed.

Abstract:
Abstract Huxley had reviewed favorably Wells’s science fiction in the early 1920s, appreciative of the fact that Wells dealt with the implications of the new biology in his books. The Wellsian futurism often dealt with the long-range implications of the new biology for human destiny. Huxley wrote that he believed Wells attempted “genuine” utopias as opposed to satirical utopias. By “genuine utopias,” Huxley seemed to imply future visions that were true and sincere and that might be possible to achieve. Wells himself had insisted that his utopias not be static, but instead forward moving. They were to represent a hopeful stage in a long ascent of stages. In her study of utopian thinking, political scientist Elisabeth Hansot noted a marked difference between a classic and a modern utopia; unlike classical utopias, modern utopias had become time-oriented and viewed change as desirable. To both Wells and Huxley, rather than being final destinations, a utopia of the modern age was dynamic and with unlimited possibilities for change and progress.

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:
The most important aim of the "Back to the Sense of the City" International Conference is to draw attention to the city and the sense of its being, the fact that a city seen as a heterogeneous entity is not only a work of its direct creators: architects, engineers, civil servants and municipal services, but all who "fill" it, primarily its inhabitants. A particular role is attributed to artists. It is the artists’ duty not only to shape it but also creatively criticize and contemplate. &#x0D; Artistic actions understood as the city’s activity and activity in relation to the city have certain qualities of utopian events, manifesting in the unattainability of a goal, idealistic activity base, transience of events and the type of references to it /to the city/. The paper focuses on such interpretative approach to these actions. The meaning of this notion is usually interpreted as a place that does not exist, "... from the Greek outopos (gr. ou - no, topos - a place, non-place, place that does not exist, non-existent) and the eutopia (good place) ".&#x0D; Our statement, built on an idea of an internal dialogue, a dialogue between the main text and the footnotes and quotations, focuses on the changing of the ways of thinking about the city as a work of active art, on the role of an artist, architect, town-planner in this process and their activities seen as special intellectual contribution to the development of this kind of space. It is also a kind of provocation relating to the description of similarities of the artistic and architectural activities in the context of the space of a city.

Abstract:
Background: We call them Generation Z and they are children born between 1997 and 2012. They feel more comfortable on the Internet than at parties, they are physically safer than adolescents have ever been (they participate in traffic less, use alcohol less). But they are on the verge of a mental health crisis. They do not know life without mobile phones and tablets. Around 2011-12. psychologists notice sudden changes in the behavior and emotional states of teenagers. Methods and Objectives: The background and data were obtained by looking at the Netflix documentary "The Social Dilemma", the documents of the Center for Humane Technology and the work of psychology professor Jean Twenge. Examine the link between mental health and social networks; are social media throwing today's kids into depression? Results: The advent of the smartphone has radically changed every aspect of teenagers' lives, from the nature of their social interactions to their mental health. Rates of teenage depression and suicide have skyrocketed since 2011. Today's teenagers are less likely to leave home without their parents. Therefore, they are less likely to have fun and enter into romantic relationships. The decline in dating is accompanied by a decline in sexual activity. These teenagers describe getting a driver's license as something their parents forced them to do. That would have been unimaginable to previous generations. Across the spectrum of behaviors-drinking, going out, spending time unsupervised: 18-year-olds now behave more like 15-year-olds, and 15-year-olds more like 13year-olds. Social networks carry additional opportunities to feel excluded and lonely when they see their friends or classmates gathering without them. Smartphones are also disrupting teenagers' sleep: many now sleep less than seven hours a night. Conclusions: Greater control over the use of devices, limiting the time spent on the screen, blocking dangerous contacts and "technology-free zones" at home are suggested, so that children can also adopt healthy habits.

Abstract:
Im Rahmen einer angewandten kritischen Geographie beschäftigen wir uns in unserer Masterarbeit mit Realen Utopien auf Quartiersebene und zeigen, dass eine alternative Neuausrichtung der Stadtplanung und -entwicklung nötig und möglich ist. Die Grundlage dafür bildet eine kritische Auseinandersetzung mit dem Begriff der Utopie und der Ebene des Quartiers. Das städtische Quartier bildet einen Möglichkeitsraum, einen space of hope (Harvey 2000), in dem Alternativen jenseits kapitalistischer Verwertungsinteressen praktiziert und gelebt werden können. Diesen Möglichkeitsraum gilt es vielfältig zu gestalten und gegenwärtigen, neoliberalen Stadtentwicklungs-paradigmen Reale Utopien(Wright 2017a) entgegenzustellen. Dabei stellt sich die Frage: Welche Gegenentwürfe zu aktuell herrschenden Paradigmen in der Stadtentwicklung zeigen uns Wege aus der Alternativlosigkeit und hin zu einer solidarischen Praxis auf Quartiersebene?Für die Beantwortung dieser Frage werden potentielle und bereits existierende Reale Utopien identifiziertund analysiert. In dieser Analyse werden Instrumente, Forderungen und Strategien herausgearbeitet, derer es Bedarf um Risse im kapitalistischem System auszuweiten, zu verteidigen und zu verstetigen. Die Ergebnisse lassen sich unter den Begriffen der Solidarität, Dekommodifi-zierung, Demokratisierung und Vergesellschaftung zusammenfassen. Sie sind die zentralen Bedin-gungen, die für die Verwirklichung Realer Utopien und damit für gesellschaftliche Transformation, entscheidend sind. Darauf basierendwird ein Kompass für ein solidarisches Quartier erarbeitet.

Abstract:
The bourgeois revolutions of the 17th – 18th centuries in Europe, which led to the establishment of new capitalist relations, also led to a change in the views of utopian philosophers on issues of gender relations. The purpose of the study is to analyze one of the approaches to the problem of gender. The liberal concept is developed by the English moral philosopher Bernard Mandeville. The social utopias of the New Age set the task of creating a just society based on the principles of universal equality. These principles were the basis for addressing gender equality. Utopian society equalized everyone in everything, effectively depriving the individual of individuality, free will, feelings, desires. Civil equality was combined with a patriarchal type of society. In fact, the issue of gender equality was limited to the achievement of gender equality. Women were excluded from the civil law field. Mandeville finds the explanation for the individual inequality in the difference between women’s and men’s affects. It is therefore proposed that girls and boys, girls and boys, be brought up and educated separately. Liberal concepts have failed to overcome the masculine view of gender relations.

Abstract:
The issues of the relationship between the sexes have always worried mankind, but their relevance increases at crucial moments in history. The October Revolution of 1917 radically changed Russian society, changes affected all spheres of society, including personal relationships, the position of women and men has changed. The study analyzes gender relations in utopian projects of post-revolutionary Russia, during the construction of a new society. The purpose of this study is to analyze significant, from our point of view, utopian projects of this period. Philosophical and methodological analysis, a phenomenological approach, as well as a descriptive method were used to study the problem. The analysis of the problem revealed the main trends in utopian projects of the post-revolutionary period on the problem of gender, identified a variety of approaches to its solution and identified two main directions: the first direction is represented by the Marxist concept with its variations, the second direction followed the path of liberation of women and men, providing them with full equality and the realization of all opportunities.
