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:
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:
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 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:
<p class="Standard"><span lang="EN-GB">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.</span></p>

Abstract:
Abstract While critical utopias sought to rescue the political import of utopia, recently scholars have questioned their overemphasis on literary forms and a disempowering pluralism. Challenging the applicability of these claims to one of the instigators of critical utopias, I provide a political reading of Miguel Abensour's understanding of utopia and connect this to councils as a concrete institutional infrastructure. This begins with a re-reading of his influential conception of the ‘education of desire’ in relation to the simulacrum as a utopian ‘model’ that, in rejecting identity-thinking, refuses to reduce utopias to a blueprint. I then turn to conceptualising the utopia of councils through the simulacrum on two fronts: first, as a form subject to innovation in the context of the dialectic of emancipation; second, as a content that aims to both ‘democratise utopia’ by embracing plurality and ‘utopianize democracy’ by expanding the realm of democratic space.

Abstract:
Introduction. The article is focused on analyzing the utopian direction of Russian cosmism and its influence on the Soviet cosmonautics and the development of society in the USSR. This philosophical theory was created in the period that made it possible to incorporate the applied aspects of utopia into scientific and technological progress and thereby embody a number of steps towards the outer space exploration. The authors have developed criteria and parameters for assessing the utopian component of the Russian cosmism theories, which made it possible to bring this construct to a higher level of abstraction and thereby create a working model for conducting such studies in the context of other utopias of models. The purpose of the article is to show the influence of the Russian cosmism utopia on the cosmonautics development in the USSR, develop empirical criteria for evaluating the phenomenon. Achieving the goal required solving the following tasks: 1) considering and analyzing the subject matter of the cosmism utopia; 2) developing parameters for assessing the impact of utopia on the development of the social system; 3) applying the developed parameters to assess the impact of utopian ideas on the development of the Soviet cosmonautics system. Methods. Developing the theoretical model for assessing social utopias, as well as considering and analyzing the cosmism utopia, required the use of structural-functional and systems analysis. The research was conducted within the framework of a synergistic paradigm. Scientific novelty of the research. The article conceptualizes the concept of utopia. It is shown that most of the definitions of utopia as a socio-political ideal focus on the limitations of its existence: utopia cannot be embodied, often has an unscientific character, does not correlate with the real state of the system, i.e. definitions of utopia are often reduced to the negative format. The authors believe that the influence of utopia on society, as a rule, is positive. It is noted that, along with limitations, utopianism has certain unique essential features that qualitatively affect the social projects implementation. Utopia in the systemic understanding acts as a complex of ideas influencing the development of the system, being both internal (since it is created artificially and consciously by the very elements of the system) and an external factor of influence. Unlike Plato’s eidos, the projection of which is reality, utopia is created inductively, but after its creation it again “descends” to the level of reality, since it begins to influence the social model in which it was created. Results. The article discusses the prognostic and modeling functions of the social utopias of Russian cosmists. It has been proved that one of the essential functions of the Russian cosmism utopias is the formation of an ideal type, towards which, in a historical perspective, the real social system begins to strive. It is convincingly demonstrated that utopia acts as a cognitive support and inevitably forms the canvas along which society begins to move, defining the utopian model as an attractor, although such a goal is not always formulated when creating a utopia. This relationship makes it possible to assess the degree of influence of utopian ideas on the formation of reality in each specific case, which, in turn, provides an opportunity to answer the question of how and to what extent the utopian ideal type participates in determining the characteristics and parameters of a real social system. Conclusions. It was found that the social utopia of cosmists as a cognitive concept is an important effective factor influencing the development of the space industry in the USSR. The parameters adopted in the study allow us to describe the measure of its influence as both an internal and an external factor on the development of the society in which it is implemented. The validity of perceiving the utopia of cosmists as a construct with a certain life cycle, the main part of which is the period of functioning, is stated. During this time period, utopian theory can have a significant impact on the actual development of society from various angles.

Abstract:
THE POLITICS OF UTOPIA | The article discusses the continued relevance of utopia in the 21st century as well as the general problems that arise from utopia as a literary and political phenomenon. UtopiaH– both as psychological “wishfulfilment” and as social constructionH– is involved in a contradictory relationship with the political. Utopia presupposes a “suspension” of politics,and hence utopias flourish in periods of social turmoil, but without political agency or direction. The function of utopia is first and foremost negative, in the sense that utopia does not offer a representation of a better future, but rather shows us that we are unable to imagine such a future because of the ideological closure of the system. Therefore, it will be impossible to develop an effective and critical political practice for the age of globalization without the resurrection of utopia.

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.

Abstract:
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.

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.

It documents methods by which the art moves from the community to retail art outlets; it includes detailed documentation of marketing in the retail sector and also includes research into the buying of indigenous art by private buyers. -- Emily Kame Kngwarreye is the best known of the Utopia painters. The study proposes reasons for her success and points to further questions beyond the scope of this study. Problems inherent in criticism and editing of her work are raised and interpreted in the context of the marketplace. -- The original thesis plan did not include detailed discussion about authorship. However, in 1997 the media reported controversy about authorship of a prize-winning work. As such controversy must affect marketing, this topic (as it relates to this artist), was included. -- Although possibilities for improvement in marketing methods have become apparent as a result of this research, areas where further research would be beneficial have also become apparent.

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 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.

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:
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. 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) ". 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:
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.

Full text
Abstract:
Lorsque Neal Stephenson a introduit le terme « métavers » dans son roman de science-fiction Snow Crash, en 1992, il était loin de se douter que le mot allait susciter autant de discussions. La notion d’une réalité d’un type nouveau, qui serait synthétisée, puis virtualisée et librement socialisée, est fascinante par ce qu’elle exigerait aux plans scientifique et technique. Fascinante surtout par ses retombées éventuelles aux niveaux culturel et social, y compris de nature éthique (qui ne sont pas abordées ici). Ce texte rappelle brièvement l’origine du concept avant de se consacrer à ses requis et défis techniques, abordés en l’examinant comme un système avancé d’information et communication. Le métavers revêt une complexité inédite alors que les capacités cognitives de l’humain et de la machine sont appelées à se fusionner avec synergie. L’analyse – qui demeure succincte compte tenu du format d’un article court – permettra de comprendre comment et pourquoi le métavers, dans la mouture originale proposée par Stephenson, demeure une utopie. Mais aussi comment l’élimination de certains requis peut permettre d’en retenir une saveur intéressante, laquelle apparait déjà dans une multitude d’applications.
