Complex Democracy, Complex Utopianism
Longtime utopian scholar Fátima Vieira draws from a variety of contemporary social theorists, Anglophone and European, to argue for the notion of a “complex” utopianism that departs from previous, traditional models of utopian narrative, thought and practice. To resist the seemingly dystopian spirit of our own time, Vieira argues, we need to define, and then establish, a new “utopian class” akin to (and perhaps coinciding with) Latour’s and Schul…

Utopia as a Tool for Change
“I prithee, honest friend, lend me thy hand / To help me up; as for my coming down, / Let me alone, I'll look to that myself,” says Thomas More to his executioner while mounting the scaffold on July 6, 1535. We are reading from Sir Thomas More (act 5, scene 4), that complicated text that testifies to the collaborative nature of Elizabethan drama. Supposedly written by Anthony Munday and Henry Chettle, and benefiting from the contribution of Thoma…
The Year 2016
The year 2016 was unprecedented for the field of utopian studies: to mark five hundred years since the publication of Thomas More's Utopia, a variety of events were organized all over the world, from seminars, workshops, and conferences to fairs, festivals, performances, concerts, cycles of movies, exhibitions, book presentations, and special issues of academic and nonacademic journals. However, although the word utopia was used in the title or d…
Publications on Utopia in Portugal (2016 and the First Semester of 2017)
If I were to review only the books written in Portuguese and published during 2016 and the first semester of 2017 in Portugal, this would no doubt be a very short article. In fact, the National Library of Portugal only displays thirteen entries from a search for utopia in the title, keyword, or subject; and once we exclude fiction, translations, reeditions, and books that, although they use utopia in the title, are not relevant to the field of ut…
Translations
Did you know that More's Utopia was first translated into French in 1550, into Hungarian in 1910, into Mandarin in 1935, into Brazilian Portuguese in 1937, into Polish in 1947, and into Greek as late as 1970? Did you know that there were more translations of Utopia into French at the time of the Enlightenment and the French Revolution than at any other point in French history? That the readers of the second translation into Hungarian never got to…
Mapping Research in Utopian Studies
What is interesting in the descriptions of research being carried out in Australia, Brazil, Poland, and Portugal hereby published is the divergent traditions of research organization. These have been shaped not only by disparate understandings of how research should be conducted (individually, in groups, within a network) but also by national funding policies; additional factors are the geographic dimension of each country and the relevance of th…
Utopian Studies in Portugal
Although the idea of utopia has always been intertwined with both the concept of maritime space and the Portuguese “myth-history,” the Portuguese have never generated a truly utopian literary tradition. Still, close contact with French and English literature resulted in the production of some utopias and dystopias, which this article briefly describes. The article further explains how the funding model for academic research in Portugal has shaped…
Portuguese Translations of Thomas More's Utopia
This article examines two inevitable questions when one is writing on Utopia and Portugal: the fact that Raphael Hythloday was identified as being Portuguese and the reception of Utopia in Portugal, no doubt influenced by the fact that the book was forbidden by the Inquisition. It then examines in full detail the six translations of Thomas More's work into European Portuguese, from Agostinho da Silva's partial translation in 1946 to Aires do Nasc…
Introduction to the Special Issue
In a paper entitled “Contemporary Scholarship on Utopianism” presented in 1999 at a Comparative Thematic Network Project meeting in Italy, Lyman Sargent explained that when, two decades earlier, he had begun his research on the concept of utopia and started his bibliography of literary works and his list of utopian communities, none of the academics who were working in the field of utopian studies knew what the others were doing. And this happene…
Les Sentiers de l'Utopie
L'Atlas des Utopies. 200 Cartes. 25 Siècles d'Histoire
It is a common notion that utopias seem to gain particular relevance in a context of crisis. This may explain why, as in May 1968, social movements throughout Europe are resorting to the concept of utopia in order to respond to the current economic crisis. What seems to be at stake, now, is a changeover to a new paradigm. However, for the common citizen, the word utopia is still resonant with the vain hopes of May 1968 or with the failure of the …

The Cambridge Companion to Utopian Literature
Since the publication of Thomas More's genre-defining work Utopia in 1516, the field of utopian literature has evolved into an ever-expanding domain. This Companion presents an extensive historical survey of the development of utopianism, from the publication of Utopia to today's dark and despairing tendency towards dystopian pessimism, epitomised by works such as George Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-Four and Margaret Atwood's The Handmaid's Tale.
