Introduction

Although the name of utopia goes back to Thomas Moore, the genre, or its typical way of thinking seems an important tradition of western culture, which produced several important works and branches through the centuries. The lecture follows the tradition from the origins to nineteenth-century utopian novel to twentieth-century dystopias and to contemporary science fiction to see how the fantasy-created possible (and many times impossible) world becomes a carrier of social criticism.

内容介绍

虽然“乌托邦”这一术语可以追溯到托马斯·莫尔，但其体裁或者其典型思维方式似乎一直是西方文化中的一个重要传统，几个世纪以来也因此产生了几部重要的作品和分支。本讲座将沿着乌托邦源头到十九世纪的乌托邦小说，然后到二十世纪的废托邦小说，再到当代科幻小说这一路径，探讨因想象而造就的可能（很多时候不可能）世界（亦即乌托邦）如何成为社会批评的载体。
