Antiutopia as an Enforced Dominant Horizon of Mass Culture: Causes and Consequences for Personality and Utopianism

  • Patricia McManus (Participant)
  • Deborah Madden (Organiser)

Activity: EventsWorkshop

Description

This workshop is open to anyone with an interest in the fate of utopianism in the twenty-first century. We will discuss the politics of antiutopianism, and the persuasiveness of antiutopian cultural genres.

The horizon of this workshop is an attempt to overcome some professional barriers. Thus it will have a general Cultural Studies stance, interacting with Political Epistemology and Utopian Studies (up to “apocalyptic writing” in C21).
