Emblematik der Zukunft: Poetik und Geschichte literarischer Utopien von Thomas Morus bis Robert Musil
Book information
Description
Literary utopias are a vehicle for a special kind of cultural communication. Literary visions are of particular importance in anticipating the future and in contrasting reality and possibility in the context of thinking about the future. The antitheses implicitly or explicitly relate to the current societal reality where they arise – whether as a wish, or specter of terror.
