C'est avec la publication de L'Utopie de Thomas More en 1516 que le mot se répand et que naît un genre littéraire associant critique sociale et description d'une " société heureuse ". L'utopie n'est pas une anticipation, mais un présent qui mise sur le bonheur, l'équité, l'abondance et le respect de chacun. Thierry Paquot explore diverses utopies écrites ou expérimentées qui se sont succédé depuis le XVIe siècle, en privilégiant certains thèmes : le travail et les loisirs, l'éducation, la famille et les relations amoureuses, la ville et l'architecture. L'utopie s'enrichit au XIXe siècle de l'uchronie, puis de la science-fiction, pour proposer de nouvelles alternatives à la " société de consommation ". L'utopie contient le pire et le meilleur, elle se révèle parfois autoritaire, totalitaire, culpabilisatrice, triste et uniformisante, tout comme elle peut favoriser le déploiement des désirs, démultiplier les plaisirs, répondre joyeusement aux attentes de ses membres. Ce sont ces paradoxes qu'analyse cet ouvrage documenté à l'écriture directe et passionnée, en s'attardant sur les œuvres de Thomas More, Francis Bacon, Fénelon, Diderot, Sébastien Mercier, Robert Owen, Saint-Simon, Charles Fourier, Edward Bellamy, William Morris et quelques autres " sublimes rêveurs "

Les rêves de bonheur ont depuis toujours hanté l'imagination humaine. Tombée de l'âge d'or dans l'âge de fer, l'humanité nostalgique, en inventant l'utopie, substitua à la conscience navrée d'un impossible retour, un espoir. L'utopie se présente aussi comme un genre littéraire privilégié. Non seulement elle draine avec elle les expériences formelles du genre romanesque, mais elle est sans doute le domaine où s'expriment le mieux la conscience que l'homme a de son destin et sa volonté souvent pathétique de le modifier et de l'orienter. C'est dans cette mesure qu'elle dépasse la fantaisie imaginative : elle est le reflet de l'humanité devant sa hantise de la perfection et de l'absolu, ou encore, si l'on veut, l'incarnation de son rêve d'échapper à la contingence.

This Handbook is a collection of contributions of more than 300 researchers who have worked to grasp the Anthropocene, this new geological epoch characterised by a modification of the conditions of habitability of the Earth for all living things, in its biogeophysical and socio-political reality. These researchers also sought to define a historical and prospective anthropology that integrates social, economic, cultural and political issues as well as, of course, environmental ones. What are the anthropological changes needed to ensure that our human adventure will be able to continue in the Anthropocene? And what are the educational and political issues involved? Anthropocene is fast becoming a widely-used term, but thus far, there been no reference work explaining the thoughts of the greatest experts of the present day on this subject (at the intersection of biogeophysical and socio-political knowledge). A scientific and political concept (but which is also the conceptual vehicle for conveying the scientific community's sense of concern), this complex term is explained by international experts as they reflect on scientific arguments taking place in earth system science, the social sciences and the humanities. What these researchers from different disciplines have in common is a healthy concern for the future and how to prepare for it in the Anthropocene and also the identification of possible anthropological changes. This Handbook encourages readers to immerse themselves in reflections on the human adventure through descriptions of our differing heritages and the future that is in the process of being written.

The French connection with the South Seas stretches back at least as far as the voyage of Binot Paulmier de Gonneville (1503-1505), who believed he had discovered the fabled great south land after being blown off course during a storm near the Cape of Good Hope. The story of his voyage remained largely forgotten for over 150 years, but eventually resurfaced in 1664 thanks to the publication by the Abbe Jean Paulmier of a document in which he argued, on the basis of this supposed discovery, for the establishment of a Christian mission in this "third part" of the world. While historians today contest the authenticity of various aspects of the Abbe Paulmier's Memoires, there is no doubt about the impact it had in France, both on the collective imagination and, more concretely, on French plans for exploration and colonial expansion. It was not until the eighteenth century, however, that France began sending mariners to the southern oceans on a regular basis, and by that time a new maritime power had begun to emerge: Great Britain. Together, these two nations would play a decisive role in determining the configuration of these little known parts of the globe, and particularly of the Pacific, which had for so long been the almost exclusive preserve of Spain.' (From the Introduction by John West-Sooby.) DISCOVERY AND EMPIRE is a collection of essays originating out of a symposium that was held at the State Library of South Australia on 8 July 2009. The symposium formed one of the strands of the XVIIth Biennial Conference of the Australasian Association of European Historians (6-9 July 2009), the overall theme for which was 'Europe's Expansions and Contractions'.

À l'occasion des 500 ans de la première publication d' Utopia, l'un des livres les plus célèbres de la pensée moderne, Thierry Paquot adresse plusieurs lettres à son auteur, l'humaniste Thomas More (1478-1535). Pourquoi une telle postérité ? Pourquoi son auteur l'a-t-il si peu mise en pratique ?, etc. Sur un ton amical et passionné, ce compagnon de route de toutes les utopies réanime les puissances d'une idée et les virtualités d'une œuvre cinq fois centenaire. Mon cher Thomas, C'est inconscient de mon audace que j'ose m'adresser à toi, l'Humaniste, l'auteur de L'Utopie – publié il y a tout juste cinq cents ans –, d'abord pour te remercier de ce texte si original qui a nourri d'innombrables rêves pour changer la société. Tu ne me croiras pas, mais dans la jeune URSS, des ouvriers ont donné ton nom à leur soviet. Et, de son côté, le Vatican t'a canonisé ! Quel héritage ! Quand on pense que toi, l'Érudit, tu es devenu chancelier du roi Henri VIII (qui t'a fait décapiter...), que tu n'as pas mis en œuvre une seule réforme digne de ce nom (toi, le saint patron des gouvernants), tu comprendras que ta vie, ton œuvre et sa postérité restent un vrai mystère... Depuis quelque temps, l'utopie a mauvaise presse – il faudra que je te parle de ces " totalitarismes " qui ont abîmé ta belle idée. Et pourtant, je connais nombre de mes contemporains qui seraient ravis de ta proposition de réduire le temps de travail quotidien à 6 heures ou celle de laisser tout individu libre de croire dans le dieu qu'il veut. Qu'est-ce qu'un bon gouvernement ? Comment mettre fin à la guerre ? Comment libérer l'individu tout en assurant les conditions de son bien-être social ? Toutes ces questions étaient les tiennes. Je suis persuadé que notre époque est en panne, que notre imaginaire politique bégaie ou fait du sur place. Il lui faut carburer à l'utopie pour quitter cette désespérance et avancer sur le chemin des possibles. En ta précieuse compagnie. Bien à toi, Thierry

Utopia and Utopianism in the Contemporary Chinese Context: Texts, Ideas, Spaces decisively demonstrates the extent to which utopianism has shaped political thought, cultural imaginaries, and social engagement after it was introduced into the Chinese context in the nineteenth century. In fact, pursuit of utopia has often led to action—such as the Chinese Revolution and the Umbrella Movement—and contested consequences. Covering a time span that goes from the late Qing to our days, the authors show that few ideas have been as influencing as utopia, which has compellingly shaped the imaginaries that underpin China’s historical change. Utopianism contributed to the formation of the Chinese state itself—shaping the thought of key figures of the late Qing and early Republican eras such as Kang Youwei and Sun Yat-sen—and outlived the labyrinthine debates of the second half of the twentieth century, both under Mao’s rule and during the post-socialist era. Even in the current times of dystopian narratives, a period in which utopia seems to be less influential than in the past, its manifestations persistently provide lifelines against fatalism or cynicism. This collection shows how profoundly utopian ideas have nurtured both the thought of crucial figures during these historical times, the new generation of mainland Chinese and Sinophone intellectuals, and the hopes of twenty-first-century Hong Kong activists. “Wang, Leung, and Zhang’s collection is a timely contribution to utopian studies built on consistent, coherent, boundary-crossing approaches. Interdisciplinary in its very sense, the essays bring intellectual history, literary studies, philosophy, and political theories together in dialogue. Of particular note are the essays that situate Hong Kong in a literary tradition that connects China, Hong Kong, and the beyond.” —Mingwei Song, Wellesley College “Utopia and Utopianism in the Contemporary Chinese Context is an impressive intellectual undertaking. The essays are highly engaging and offer powerful, multi-faceted approaches to utopianism in contemporary Chinese thought and practice. Stimulating and informative, the book as a whole addresses the dynamic interplay between the utopian and dystopian, thereby inspiring clarity in political thought and action in the present moment.” —Robin Visser, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill

Definir de facon univalente la notion de mythe et celle d'utopie semble en soi une entreprise tout a fait utopique. Par ailleurs, jumeler les deux notions, celle du mythe et celle d'utopie, releve d'un processus de reflexion qui peut facilement etre a double tranchant: le mythe, construction par excellende de l'imaginaire humain, ne se situe-t-il pas ailleurs que dans un non-lieu? et l'utopie, quant a elle, ne fait-elle pas echo au mythe, a la fois s'en inspirant, le niant et le transformant? Redondance possible, et aussi, parfois, refus des deux domaines a admettre leur interdependance, cheninement parallele surtout et creation commune de ce qui, en fin de compte, s'avere mythe transforme, utopie revistee. Toutefois, mythes et utopies quels que soient la position choisie, le point de vue defendu, semblent faire bon menage, a en juger par ce projet, mavec dix-neuf textes couvrant principalement la litterature contemporaine des femmes, mais puisant parfois aux uvres anterieures qui ont deja prepare le terrain, en offrant des visions d'existences idylliques ne serait-ce que litteraires."

This book is about the presence of utopian and dystopian elements in the Italian literary landscape. It focuses on four authors that are representatives of the various positions in the Italian cultural debate: Pasolini, Calvino, Sanguineti, and Volponi. What did concepts like utopia and dystopia mean for these authors? Is it possible to separate utopia from dystopia? What is the role of science fiction in this debate? This book answers these questions, proposing an original interpretation of utopia and of the social role of literature. The book also takes into consideration four of the most influential literary journals in Italy: Officina, il menabò, il verri, and Nuovi Argomenti, that played a central role in the cultural and political debate on utopia in Italy.

This book is devoted to discussion of the views of Pierre Musso and starts with a central chapter written by Musso, entitled Network Ideology: from Saint-Simonianism to the Internet . Pierre Musso is a French philosopher and is one of the most original thinkers in the history of the network society. His thought develops a critique of information and communication technologies through their imaginary and social representations and of the information society, based on the network metaphor. The main question on which Musso has focused his attention is how the network metaphor is one of the most powerful ways of understanding the complex societies in which we live. Showing characteristic attention to detail, and drawing on the history of ideas, political philosophy and sociology, Musso traces the genealogy of the network imaginary, and points out that it did not emerge with the Internet. He shows how its modern roots can be found in Henri de Saint-Simon and his disciples, engineers and entrepreneurs such as Michel de Chevalier, and Barthélemy Prosper Enfantin, who developed channel networks, railroads, and the telegraphic network in France in the nineteenth century. In addition to the central piece written by Musso, the book includes a general introduction and six commentaries from experts on information technologies and networks. It displays a wide range of perspectives from a diverse set of authors in terms of nationalities and universities, as well as disciplinary backgrounds.

The economy is commonly described either as the apolitical realm of calculation or as the fully political one of domination. This book scrutinizes the ways in which the economy is performed, in order to situate where precisely politics is located with regard to economic matters. Politics, the book demonstrates, thus appears at the turning point, in the place where the efficiency of economics is negotiated and where the need to forward it, reshape it, and complement it emerges. This book was originally published as a special issue of the Journal of Cultural Economy.
