The impasse of utopia

Published by: Classiques Garnier
Keywords: Utopia; criticism; historicity; fiction; imagination
Summary/Abstract: Utopias are not subsumable under a typical category, because the variety of their contents is too large. They are pointing at most to a function; but this tends to be dissolved in those of the social critic, of the irony, of the political fiction. Utopias are therefore one of the various modes of the imagination and do not allow us to discern anything very specific about them.
