Abstract This paper puts forward an argument about the relation between utopian thought and political discourse. It demonstrates how utopias frame normative discourse in general and political discourse in particular. The argument is informed by Kenneth Burke’s theory of the negative command and its place at the basis of all human language. I argue that utopias are necessarily based in the hortatory negative and are, in literary terms, like religious texts in general being ‘words about words’ designed to coordinate “the tribe”. Burke calls such texts ‘logological’. The argument I put forward here points to a rapidly crumbling utopia that has beset much of the world and all of the West since at least the Reagan-Thatcher era in which a new corporatist political economy was given global impetus.

Abstract Thomas More’s 1516 Utopia describes a ‘fictitious’ republic on an imaginary island, and draws heavily on ancient political ideas. This paper explores the difficulties of applying the term ‘utopia’ to Plato’s political thinking, given that More’s term is anachronistically applied to ancient texts. The projects of the Republic and Laws should not be interpreted as ‘utopian’, but as blueprints for a foundation such as a new city, rather than as imagined ideal cities after More’s model. Support for Plato’s practical involvement in matters of political foundation is drawn from the Seventh Letter. The Republic and the Laws are discussed not as utopias, but political manifestos. The political context in which Plato lived, and his objectives, gives his political writings a wholly different dimension. The goal of the Republic and the Laws is not to describe unrealizable constitutions, but to exchange the Athenian constitution of Plato’s time for another.

This article uses Frederic Jameson’s An American Utopia: Dual Power and the Universal Army as the inspiration for a utopian-sociological method that brings together aspects of Erik Olin Wright’s ‘Real Utopias’ project and Ruth Levitas’ ‘Imaginative Reconstitution of Society’. It argues that these different approaches can be bridged through presenting fictional sketches of imagined futures of potentially socially transformative institutions alongside more conventional sociological analysis of such. Two concepts associated with the discipline of Utopian Studies – education of desire and concrete utopia – are used to suggest that the British Post Office might perform a better utopian role than Jameson’s chosen vehicle of utopian transformation: the US Army. To further build this case, and to demonstrate one possible application of this method, the history, current condition and an imagined future of the Post Office are explored and some concrete steps in the utopian directions suggested by these are noted.

Texto completoResumen
This essay reconstructs the place of utopia in realist political theory, by examining the ways in which the literary genre of critical utopias can productively unsettle ongoing discussions about “how to do political theory.” I start by analyzing two prominent accounts of the relationship between realism and utopia: “real utopia” (Erik Olin Wright et al.) and “dystopic liberalism” (Judith Shklar et al.). Elaborating on Raymond Geuss’s recent reflections, the essay then claims that an engagement with literature can shift the focus of these accounts. Utopian fiction, I maintain, is useful for comprehending what is (thus enhancing our understanding of the world) and for contemplating what might be (thus nurturing the hope for a better future). Ursula K. Le Guin’s novel The Dispossessed deploys this double function in an exemplary fashion: through her dynamic and open-ended portrayal of an Anarchist community, Le Guin succeeds in imagining a utopia that negates the status quo, without striving to construct a perfect society. The book’s radical, yet ambiguous, narrative hence reveals a strategy for locating utopia within realist political theory that moves beyond the positions dominating the current debate. Reading The Dispossessed ultimately demonstrates that realism without utopia is status quo–affirming, while utopia without realism is wishful thinking.

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.

Texto completoResumen
The trope of the utopian island occurs in a variety of cultural traditions. For example, in the West, the literary imagination of ideal islandness made manifest an imperialist rhetoric and contributed to European exploration and colonization. The tension between utopia and dystopia is an intrinsic feature of Western utopian island imaginations, which were complicit in colonial exploitation and oppression. Western models of island utopias and dystopias have been imposed on non-Western cultures, whose scholars have engaged in decolonial practices by adapting, reshaping, and transforming these conceptualizations. This special section, demonstrating the inherent intercultural qualities of utopian and dystopian island visions from diverse cultural traditions, contributes to decolonization efforts in island studies.

ABSTRACT This article discusses the politics of hope in N. K. Jemisin’s Broken Earth trilogy. Drawing on scholarship in utopian studies, science fiction studies, and Africana studies, it discusses the ways in which Jemisin uses two intentional community experiments depicted in the trilogy as “critical utopias” in order to work through problems involved in collective living, including the potentially anti-utopian aspects of these communities’ shortcomings. Ultimately, despite the apocalyptic setting that has attracted the most attention from critics, this article argues that The Broken Earth ultimately affirms the necessity of utopian hope, even amid anti-utopian circumstances, and as such is an important and timely political statement. In a historical moment marked by social and racial strife and, in the literary realm, by what Sean Guynes calls “dystopia fatigue,” Jemisin’s trilogy does not promise utopia, but insists on the need for hope in seemingly hopeless times, the “anti-anti-utopian” orientation described by Fredric Jameson.

Renaissance utopias belong to a period when Modernity was being built within political thinking, which turns them into a nexus between classical antiquity and the Enlightment, thereby preserving for posterity a series of critical issues, such as democracy, a radical version of natural law or the need for distribution of goods. Christian humanism is also present and, together with Plato’s concept of justice, it enables these utopias to set a different course from that followed by other Renaissance political theory options, founded either on political realism (Machiavelli) or on jus naturale as a justification of an authoritarian state (Bodin). Thus utopia spreads its wings not only announcing Modernity but also the 20th century socialist horizon

This article reviews the implications of the collapse of Communism in Europe for some themes in recent social theory. It was often assumed that 1989 was part of a global process of normalization and routinization of social life that had been left behind earlier utopian hopes. Nothing that utopia is open to various interpretations, including utopias of the everyday, this article suggests, first that there were utopian dimensions to 1989, and, second, that these hopes continue to influence contemporary social and political developments. The continuing role of substantive utopian expectations is illustrated with reference to the politics of lustration in Poland and the rise of nationalist parties in Hungary. This analysis is placed in the context of the already apparent impact of the global economic crisis in post-communist countries. It concludes that the unevenness and diversity of the post-1989 world elude overly generalized attempts at theorization and demand more nuanced analyses.

Texto completoResumen
In this thesis I argue that the tradition of political philosophy which follows in John Rawls's footsteps is obligated to concern itself not only with the realizability, but also with the realization, of justice. Although Rawls himself expresses a commitment only to the former of these, I argue that the roles which he assigns to political philosophy require him to take on the further commitment to realization. This is because these roles are meant to influence not only political philosophers, but the citizens of the wider community as well. The realistically utopian role, which I take to be the central one, requires political philosophy to inspire in that population a hope which I argue that realizability alone cannot provide. Given the deep revisions regarding the political nature of justice as fairness which Rawls made on the basis of realizability concerns, I argue that his theory must in this case be committed to a similar revision. The hope which political philosophy is meant to provide is simply not realizable until the discipline concerns itself centrally with the task of realization.

Texto completoResumen
Antiutopía y Control. La distopía en el mundo contemporáneo y actual è una tesi dottorale che nasce con l'obiettivo di studiare, dal punto di vista politico, sociale e culturale, le più rilevanti tipologie di controllo a cui varie forme di governo, dalle dittature alle democrazie, hanno sottoposto e sottopongono i propri cittadini. Focalizzandosi principalmente sul XX e XXI sec., l'analisi storica, sociologia e psicologica del fenomeno parte, però, da un punto di vista inusuale, quello letterario della distopia. Oscuro e disincantato opposto dell'ottimista utopia, essa è un genere letterario che descrive il peggiore dei mondi possibili e racconta di popoli pesantemente manipolati, disperati e repressi. L'intenzione dichiarata della letteratura e del cinema distopico è di mettere in guardia i loro fruitori dalle possibili conseguenze di situazioni politiche, sociali o ambientali già degenerate nelle realtà di riferimento degli autori. Lo fanno usando mondi immaginari, lontani nel tempo o nello spazio, invece che ambientazioni contemporanee ai lettori, ma, nella maggioranza dei casi, il male esposto non è altro che la trasfigurazione di una paura o di un problema reale, drammaticamente attuale. La distopia non è solo svago e divertimento, essa può aiutarci a capire l'attuale stato delle cose perché la letteratura, il cinema e i fumetti di una data comunità riflettono la società a cui appartengono. Se il contesto è infetto, la cultura riconoscerà, assimilerà e denuncerà l'infezione. Le ipotesi principali da cui la tesi muove sono tre:
La distopia, con la sua brutale estremizzazione e/o la sua dissacrante parodia di problematiche attuali, può aiutare a delineare un'analisi storica, sociologica e psicologica del controllo politico, sociale e culturale.
La distopia non è solo una degenerazione rintracciabile nei noti processi repressivi del potere totalitario o autoritario, ma è uno strumento di persuasione usato anche nei poteri democratici.
La differenza maggiore tra la distopia dei regimi dittatoriali e quella delle società democratiche risiede nel differente dosaggio che essi fanno di controllo positivo e negativo, di piacere e dolore, di benessere e paura.
Per sviluppare e dimostrare queste ipotesi, la tesi è divisa in tre parti principali. Nella prima, si ripercorre la storia dell'utopia e della distopia, rintracciandone le tematiche ricorrenti e maggiormente caratteristiche e focalizzandosi sul sottogenere politico. Quest'ultimo, infatti, è il tema che più di tutti mostra connessioni con la ricerca in corso, dal momento che la distopia specificatamente politica presenta società fortemente controllate e gerarchizzate, con popolazioni spersonalizzate e manipolate dal potere. Si procede, quindi, con l'analisi di quelle opere che, secondo chi scrive, meglio esprimono il senso soffocante e deformante dell'autorità, come ad esempio 1984 di George Orwell, Brave New World di Aldous Huxley e Fahrenheit 451 di Ray Bradbury. Completata questa analisi, la tesi si dedica allo studio più strettamente storico, sociologico e psicologico del fenomeno distopico. Nelle seconda e nella terza parte, infatti, si mettono in comparazione le caratteristiche principali delle opere riportate con quelle di diverse realtà storiche del secolo passato e di quello presente. Nella seconda parte, nello specifico, ci si occupa dei poteri dominanti, ossia di totalitarismi e autoritarismi, perché essi incarnano tragicamente meglio di qualunque altro sistema politico l'idea di distopia. Il nazismo, il fascismo, il franchismo, il socialismo sovietico e i regimi che gravitano intorno ad esso, le dittature in America Latina o in Asia, infatti, portano letteralmente l'inferno sulla terra e condannano all'incubo milioni di vite. Nella terza parte, invece, sono le società democratiche, con la loro tendenza a controllare le popolazioni attraverso tecniche suadenti e persuasive del genere panem et circenses, le protagoniste dell'analisi. Sia per i poterei dominanti, sia per quelli democratici, si prendono in esame delle tematiche specifiche. Si indaga sugli agenti e sulle ragioni della violenza fisica e psicologica a cui le popolazioni sono sottomesse, oltre che sull'uso della cultura, della religione, dell'educazione e dell'informazione come strumento di repressione e di condizionamento, soffermandosi in particolare sul ruolo della propaganda e dei mass-media. Si studia la rappresentazione del nemico, in tempo di pace e guerra, e la necessità della sua esistenza per mantenere meglio il controllo sui cittadini. Si valuta, inoltre, la risposta psico-fisica della popolazione all'uso della repressione e della persuasione, per osservare come l'autorità possa influenzare, modificare o, peggio, distruggere, i corpi e le menti dei cittadini ad essa soggetti. Si fa tutto questo con la speranza di circoscrive il “cattivo luogo”, che dovrebbe spaventare non solo nella finzione.Antiutopía y Control. La distopía en el mundo contemporáneo y actual is a doctoral thesis that offers an historical, sociological and psychological analysis of the social, political and cultural control, implemented by various forms of government, from dictatorships to democracies, to submit their citizens. Focusing on the 20th and 21th century, the research moves from an unusual literary and cinematographic point of view, the dystopian one. Dark and disillusioned opposite of optimistic utopia, dystopia is a genre that describes the worst of all possible worlds and tells about heavily manipulated, desperate and repressed people. The present work is divided into three main parts. In the first, it traces the history of utopia and dystopia, discovering the recurring and most distinctive themes and focusing on the political sub-genre (Orwell's 1984, Huxley's Brave New World, Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451, etc.). Completed this analysis, the thesis studies more closely the dystopian dynamics in historical, sociological and psychological processes. In the second part, the thesis investigates totalitarian and authoritarian powers, because they embody the idea of dystopia tragically better than any other political system. In the third part, the focus is on democratic societies, with their tendency to control populations through persuasive techniques as panem et circenses. For both groups, the research examines specific issues. It analyzes the agents and the reasons of physical and psychological violence, as well as the use of culture, religion, education and information as tools of repression and conditioning, with particular emphasis on the role of propaganda and mass media. It studies the representation of the enemy in time of peace and war, and the need for its existence to maintain a more stable control over the citizens. It also evaluates the psycho-physical response of the population to the use of constraint and persuasion. It tries to understand how authority can influence, change, or worse, destroy the bodies and the minds of citizens subjected to it. The aim of Antiutopía y Control is to delineate the "bad place" in history and remember readers that dystopia should scare not only in fiction.

Texto completoResumen
Questa ricerca si propone di offrire una ricostruzione complessiva degli aspetti salienti dell'utopia, le cui riflessioni si focalizzano attorno al tentativo di pervenire ad una comprensione non riduttiva dell'universo utopico. L'utopia abbraccia una vasta gamma di ambiti diversi che vanno dall'ideologia alla religione, dalla filosofia sociale, alla filosofia politica e all'economia; rappresenta, dunque, un valido strumento d'indagine per analizzare la pluralità delle diverse dimensioni delle relazioni sociali.
Il concetto di utopia, inteso come ricerca di una legge ideale sulla quale fondare le istituzioni sociali, è già presente nel mondo antico, si manifesta nel mondo medievale nella forma millenarista del ritorno di Cristo, per divenire quasi un genere letterario a sé stante nel Rinascimento.
Man mano che ci si avvicina ai tempi più recenti le utopie si colorano sempre più di interesse sociale e di progettualità politica. Ai primi interpreti di queste utopie, viene dato generalmente il nome di socialisti utopisti. Nella seconda metà dell’Ottocento iniziano le storie dell’utopia che s’intrecciano — in particolare con Marx ed Engels — con la storia del socialismo. Nel frattempo, lungo il Novecento si assistite ad un drastico cambio di prospettiva il cui bersaglio polemico è l'universo totalitario e i pericoli derivanti dall'uso distorto della scienza e della tecnologia che porterà all'affermazione delle distopie come genere letterario.
Gli ultimi decenni, invece, anche a causa della pessimismo della ragione moderna e del pensiero debole, si sono caratterizzati per una crisi ed una sfiducia generalizzata nei confronti della politica da un lato e dall'affermazione dell'ideologia neoliberale dall'altro. In questo periodo, inoltre, l'utopia vive una certa marginalità filosofica e appare incapace di offrire al mondo un orizzonte nuovo.
La speranza è riposta nei nuovi movimenti sociali che si stanno dimostrando i più strenui difensori dell'ambiente e dei beni comuni. Gli unici attualmente che, pur tra mille difficoltà, cercano di opporsi all'ideologia mercatista del pensiero unico, e di proporre un'alternativa comunitaria.This research aims to provide a complete reconstruction of the salient aspects of utopia, whose thoughts are focused around the attempt to achieve a non-reductive understanding of the utopian universe. The utopia embraces a wide range of different areas ranging from ideology, religion, social philosophy, political philosophy and economics. Therefore, it represents a useful tool to analyze the plurality of the different dimensions of social relations. The concept of utopia, understood as a search for an ideal law on which to base social institutions, is already present in the ancient world, it manifests itself in the medieval world in the millennialist form of return of Christ, to become almost a literature genre in the Renaissance. As you get closer to more recent times, utopias are increasingly colored of social interest and political planning. The name of utopian socialists is generally given to the first interpreters of these utopias. In the second half of the nineteenth century, especially with Marx and Engels, the utopia stories begin to intertwine with the history of socialism. Instead, along the twentieth century occurs a drastic change of perspective, whose polemical target is the totalitarian universe and the dangers arising from the use of the distorted science and technology that will lead to the affirmation of dystopias as a literary genre. The last decades, however, partly because of the crisis of modern reason and “weak thought”, were characterized by a crisis and a generalized distrust of politics on the one hand, and affirmation of neoliberalism ideology on the other. In this period, the utopia lives a sort of philosophical marginality and it seems unable to offer new horizons to the world. The hope is now placed in the new social movements that are proving to be the most strenuous defenders of the environment and public goods. They currently are the only ones who, in spite of thousand difficulties, try to oppose to the “single thought” and to the unbridled competition, and propose a communitarian alternative.

This thesis explores and connects two main elements: the utopian studies and the studies of social and political critique. The big quantity and variety and history of utopian texts raises a simple question: why someone writes utopian texts, why one wishes for a better and different life? And how do these factors operate in the large picture of humanity. It has been observed that utopian literature flourish in the times of human despair. In the times of unhappiness people try to search for decisions inside the dominant order in which they often feel hopeless to change. The utopians might say: “We do not want reforms, we want new forms!”. The main purpose of this thesis is to explore the critical side of utopias. How this critique works and how does it unfolds? What reactions does it create and why? This thesis is also concerned about the ambiguous nature of the concept utopia and its possible connections with human desire. If we agree with Deleuze and Guattari concept of desire as production, we can view utopia totally differently – as a immanent process of becoming, as a direction, not a destination.Šis magistro darbas apžvelgia ir apjungia du pagrindinius šio darbo elementus: utopijų studijos ir socialinė bei politinė kritika. Didelis kiekis įvairiausių utopinių tekstų kelia klausimą: kodėl žmonės rašo utopinius tekstus ir apskritai kodėl svajoja apie geresnį ir kitokį gyvenimą? Istoriškai pastebime, kad utopijų rašymas intensyviausiai atsiskleidžia per negandų ir nelaimių laikus. Neaiškumo ir nelaimės akivaizdoje žmonės ieško būdų radikaliai pakeisti esamą padėtį, bet dažnai susiduria su valstybinio aparato stagnacija. Utopistas sakytų: „Užteks politinių reformų, mes norime naujų formų!”. Pagrindinis šio darbo tikslas orientuojasi į kritinė utopinio mąstymo pusę. Kaip veikia utopinė kritika? kaip ji išsiskleidžia? Kokias reakcijas sukelia utopinis mąstymas ir kodėl? Šis darbas taip pat gilinasi į sąvokos „utopija“ problematiką. Jei mes sutinkame su Deleuze ir Guattari geismo, kaip nepertraukiamos produkcijos sąvoka, mes galime atsakyti daug klausimų dėl utopinio mąstymo įvairoves, taip pat pažiūrėti į ją iš kito kampo – kaip į imanentišką tapsmo procesą, kuris turį krypti, bet ne galutinę atvykimo vietą.

The object of this study is a program of government that has, as its immediate objective, the modification and regulation of consumer conduct deemed pertinent to climate change. Drawing from the analytical grid and conceptual tools of governmentality, this study has organized and analyzed an archive of documents related to the One-Tonne Challenge, a 'public education' program implemented by the Government of Canada from 2003 to 2006. There are numerous forms of conduct targeted by this program, involving many of the mundane and routine practices of everyday life. Despite their heterogeneity, the targeted forms of conduct can all be measured and evaluated according to the greenhouse gas (GHG) inventory, an ecological technology of government that has had its application extended to the 'personal' level. As consumers increasingly engage in practices that are energy efficient, a 'low intensity GHG emission lifestyle' will emerge as a new societal norm, which is declared to be the 'ultimate strategic objective' of the program.

Abstract This chapter presents a framework for understanding both hope as a differentiated human experience and the relationship between hope and utopia(nism). Offering a rigorous analysis and synthesis of literature from across various disciplines (including philosophy, theology, psychology, sociology, political studies, and the health sciences), a taxonomy of modes of hoping is developed. While “hope” and “utopia” are often said to go hand in hand—utopias offering visions of hope, hope driving the utopian impulse—the chapter argues that hope is a complex category of human experience that is not always or necessarily aligned with a utopian sensibility. Put simply, different modes of hoping possess different utopian orientations. Hope in its transformative mode most clearly aligns with the utopian impulse, and the chapter argues that pedagogical intervention is required to mobilize transformative hope. The chapter concludes with a case study of Occupy Wall Street in order to illustrate the utility of the modes of hoping framework as an analytical tool.

Abstract Political theory students are often also interested in real politics—the kind that they read about in the newspapers and that get debated at election times. Sometimes they study political theory because they are interested in real politics. Many are then disappointed. What they are asked to read is disappointingly abstract, utopian or apparently irrelevant; it can be hard to connect debates as conducted by political theorists with policy issues or political choices in the real world. This chapter will try to ease the frustration, partly by exploring how best to make those connections, partly by urging reconciliation to the inevitability of disconnection. Political theory, as we understand it, occupies a very specific place in the political and policymaking process. That space is crucial and fundamental, but it is also modest and limited.

This chapter offers an important analysis of Zygmunt Bauman’s concept of retrotopia. While utopia and dystopia served as key themes throughout Bauman’s lifetime, the chapter considers retrotopia in the context of contemporary socio-political tensions. It also discusses the intertwining of nostalgia, ambivalence, and dystopia that offers a powerful theoretical framework for understanding the emotional characteristics of late modernity. The chapter explores the utopian roots of Bauman’s critical diagnosis of contemporary liquid-modern retrotopia and its different dystopian dimensions. It takes a brief look at how utopia and utopianism have been regarded within the social sciences and revisits Bauman’s early work on the ‘Socialist utopia’ as the counter-culture of capitalism.

Victorian Visions of Suburban Utopia: Abandoning Babylon offers a prehistory of the suburban dream—or, in other words, a history of the nineteenth-century desires that fueled the suburban revolution of the twentieth century. It also offers a history of Victorian criticisms of urban life and an account of nineteenth-century discourse on urban reform. Here in the introduction, the main argument of this “dream before the dream” is outlined, key terms such as “suburbia” and “utopia” are defined, and the relationships between this book and the existing body of scholarship are explained. The literary venues and socio-political nature of Victorian utopian dreaming are also briefly outlined, helping readers to appreciate the gravity of this realm of discourse, and prepare them to analyze how and why utopian science fiction of the nineteenth century achieved sufficient power to shape the world in which we live today.

The United States produced a number of early utopian visions of suburban dispersal, demonstrating that Americans had inherited some of the anti-urban tendencies of their British forebears. An early feminist science-fiction novel by Mary Griffith insisted that cities could be great, but she was decidedly in the minority. After consuming British science fiction in the 1870s, American authors dominated utopian literature in the 1880s, many providing it with new urgency by engaging head-on with the rise of the industrial corporation. These writers were a heterogeneous bunch—ranging from math teachers to Spiritualist bohemians—but while they were often politically opposed to one another, they were consistent in their concept of utopia: life in large, complex cities such as New York or Boston was maddening, and a new world of glass, metal, synthetic stone, whirring machines, and, most importantly, endless greenery, needed to rise in place of the terrible city.

Texto completoResumen
Bolzano’s major work on political philosophy is a treatise called On the Best State, which was first drafted around 1830. Despite its title, it is not a merely utopian work. The best state is considered not in order to avoid practical attempts at reform, but to give them a theoretical underpinning and clearer direction. Chapter 3 presents the main points of the political philosophy set out in On the Best State, followed by a consideration of the program for reform that Bolzano had presented in the sermons (Erbauungsreden) he read at San Salvator church and further developed in his lectures on the “science of religion” at the Charles University and in some later essays. In particular, discussion centers on his views on civil disobedience, revolt, enlightenment, and the rights of women, religious minorities, and the Czech-speaking citizens of Bohemia. (125 words)
