The Spectre of Utopia: Utopian and Science Fictions at the Fin de Siècle
ISBN: 9783034307253 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 307 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. In the late nineteenth century, a spectre haunted Europe and the United States: the spectre of utopia. This book re-examines the rise of utopian thought at the fin de siecle, situating it in the social and political contradictions of the time and exploring the ways in which it articulated a deepening sense that the capitalist system might not be insuperable after all. The study pays particular attention to Edward Bellamy s seminal utopian fiction, Looking Backward (1888), embedding it in a number of unfamiliar contexts, and reading its richest passages against the grain, but it...

Shockwaves of Possibility: Essays on Science Fiction, Globalization, and Utopia
ISBN: 9783034307413 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 308 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. Shockwaves of Possibility explores the deep utopianism of one of the most significant modern cultural practices: science fiction. The author contends that utopianism is not simply a motif in SF, but rather is fundamental to its narrative dynamics. Drawing upon a rich array of theory and criticism in SF and utopian studies, the book opens with a global periodizing history that shows the inseparability of SF from developments in other cultural fields. It goes on to examine literature, film, television, comics, and animation in order to demonstrate SF s unique effectiveness for grappling...

ISBN: 9783034307727 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 140 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. Upon its original publication in 1970, Robert C. Elliott s The Shape of Utopia influenced both some of the major scholars of an emerging utopian and science fiction studies, including Darko Suvin, Louis Marin and Fredric Jameson, and authors of new utopian fiction ranging from Ursula K. Le Guin to Kim Stanley Robinson. The book establishes a deep genetic link between utopia and satire, and offers scintillating readings of classic works by Thomas More, Jonathan Swift, Nathaniel Hawthorne, Aldous Huxley and others. It charts the rise of an insidious -fear of utopia- that comes to...

ISBN: 9783034307161 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 273 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. This volume explores the connection between two phenomena usually thought to be utterly incongruous, even antithetical: utopia and everyday life . It presents a series of essays, written over the last twenty years, which rethink the nature and prospects of utopianism in a world that has grown increasingly sceptical as to the possibility of systemic socio-political transformation in a positive direction. Through critical interdisciplinary engagements with a wide variety of thinkers ranging from Mikhail Bakhtin to Henri Lefebvre and beyond, many of whom are often read as anti-utopian...

Imagining and Making the World: Reconsidering Architecture and Utopia
ISBN: 9783034301206 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 349 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. Although the association between architecture and utopia (the relationship between imagining a new world and exploring how its new conditions can best be organized) might appear obvious from within the domain of utopian studies, architects have long attempted to dissociate themselves from utopia. Concentrating on the difficulties writers from both perspectives experience with the topic, this collection interrogates the meta-theoretical problematic for ongoing intellectual work on architecture and utopia. The essays explore divergent manifestations of the play of utopia on architectural...

The Racial Horizon of Utopia: Unthinking the Future of Race in Late Twentieth-Century American Utopian Novels
ISBN: 9783034319164 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 226 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. Race and utopia have been fundamental features of US American culture since the origins of the country. However, racial ideology has often contradicted the ideals of social and political equality in the United States. This book surveys reimaginings of race in major late twentieth-century US American utopian novels from the 1970s to the 1990s. Dorothy Bryant, Marge Piercy, Samuel Delany, Octavia Butler and Kim Stanley Robinson all present radical new configurations of race in a more ideal society, yet continually encounter an ideological blockage as the horizon beyond which we cannot rethink...

Gazing in Useless Wonder: English Utopian Fictions, 1516-1800
ISBN: 9783034308991 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 356 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. Gazing in Useless Wonder focuses on utopias as self-referential texts that literally have to constitute themselves as imaginary or intentional entities before they can work as vehicles for socio-political ideas. Foregrounding the construction of utopian fictions defines both the perspective and the differentiation of the analytically significant elements, so that the traditionally dominant topics such as the nature and origins of the ideologies behind the construction of the ideal model are taken into account only insofar as they contribute to the aesthetic effect of the utopian...

ISBN: 9780415742856 / Angielski / Twarda / 2014 / 360 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych.
