Browse Hierarchy ESH7073: Utopia: History, Theory, Action

Back to AR-ENDR-ENGL: Department of English
How might the idea of Utopia helps us galvanise political literary readings amid an increasingly dystopian sense of global crisis? What constitutes hope for the future in a context of ecocatastrophe? How does fiction offer alternative ways of imagining subjectivity, community and belonging? This module turns to a range of short stories and novels from across the nineteenth, twentieth and twenty-first centuries. We will examine the relationship between Utopia and a range of political ideologies and ideas, including feminism, anti-colonialism, Marxism, neoliberalism, anarchism and anti-capitalism. We will also explore historical and contemporary attempts to live out Utopian ideals in intentional communities and other social movements.
