The Space Between What Is and What Wants to Be: The Abandoned Practice of Utopian Thinking
2016
Overview
The word \"utopia\" is derived from two Greek words: utopos, which means \"good place,\" and outopos, which means \"no place\"--a nonexistent space that is imaged into consciousness by an expectation of what the future could be. Utopian thinking can be nostalgic, a looking back in order to move forward; a sense that in order to hypothesize the idealized future, one has to imagine an ideal past, the lost Eden or Atlantis, an imaginary conflation of time and place when the species cohabitated in an idyllic condition. That Golden Age, projected by Hesiod and others, was based on a bucolic representation of enough for all and a subsequent absence of greed, vying for power, and corruption.
