Dystopia and utopia: opposites or convergent? critical reflections
Journal Title: Social Innova Sciences - Year 2021, Vol 2, Issue 2
Abstract
The concepts of dystopia and utopia are usually associated with two opposite dimensions due to their theoretical nature. In the case of the first, meanings such as a negative, undesirable, chaotic, coercive and totalitarian imaginary society configure some of the connotations on which it is based; while the second embodies an ideal, positive, balanced, fair and harmonious society, through social, economic, religious and political models, originated by the various utopians of the classical current, such as Plato, Moro and Johann Valentín Andreae. We will start from a review of both currents and their main authors, to reflect critically and interpretively on their convergences and divergences. The implicit methodology used is situated in the field of analogical hermeneutics.
