Nebulous Utopias. From “Ein Volk, ein Reich, ein Führer” to “China Dream”. The Use of Catchwords and Slogans in Constructing Imaginary Utopian/Dystopian Communities
In Richard III, Act 3, young Prince Edward’s insistent questiThe paper offers a preliminary study of a phenomenon that could be termed nebulous utopia, an attempt to project an image of the ideal state based on the use of catchwords and slogans. In the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, their extensive use, originally limited mainly to totalitarian states and war propaganda, has become the dominant rhetorical device employed by a wide range of…
Utopian semiospheres
The paper applies Juri Lotman’s theory of the semiosphere to utopian studies with the aim of identifying the principal components and mode of functioning of classic utopian discourse. Without questioning the ultimate result of any interaction within a utopian dialogic situation, which necessarily demonstrates the superiority of the ideal world (no-place/ou-topos) over the external world of imperfection (e.g. Europe or America), it is argued that …
Joshua Barnes's Gerania
Focusing on the broadly conceived principle of hospitality, the essay offers an analysis of Joshua Barnes's Gerania, a highly original but little-studied late seventeenth-century utopia set in India and featuring the Pygmies as utopians and Homer as their lawgiver. It is argued that Barnes's utopia offers a radical alternative to the policy of closure and isolation adopted in early modern utopian commonwealths. Its peculiar construction results i…
Introduction
The present special issue of Utopian Studies is devoted to utopia and solidarity considered from philosophical, sociopolitical, cultural, and literary perspectives. It was inspired by the 18th Utopian Studies Society Conference “Solidarity and Utopia,” which took place in Gdańsk in July 2017. As the papers presented at that conference clearly demonstrated, the most immediate connotations of the word solidarity used in different contexts tend to b…
Utopian Horizons
Utopian Horizons comprises chapters discussing diverse aspects of utopia ranging from its definitions and relations to ideology and different possible uses to practical studies of selected political, ideological, and cultural phenomena. The editor's introduction, apart from providing a useful overview of the reception of utopia, considers the problem of the ways in which fiction, an indispensable element of literary utopias, affects their possibl…
Utopian Visions and Revisions
Utopian Studies in Poland
The article presents a general overview of utopian studies in Poland from the late nineteenth century until recent times. Since the very beginning an important role was played by attempts to formulate an adequate definition of the utopian genre. Apart from the communist period, in which a highly politicized approach predominated, in later times the essentially individualistic and polycentric character of Polish utopian studies came to the fore. T…
A Conspiracy of the Rich
The article presents an analysis of the ways in which Europe, at first presented in Book One of More's Utopia as superior or at least comparable to the New World, is gradually turned into a dystopia as Hythloday increasingly concentrates on its faults and vices, especially when explicitly or implicitly contrasted with the ideal functioning of Utopia. This process of “dystopianizing” what for the readers constitutes the real culminates in Hythloda…
