§ Utopia theme month §
"A map of the world that does not include Utopia is not worth even glancing at, for it leaves out the one country at which Humanity is always landing. And when Humanity lands there, it looks out, and, seeing a better country, sets Sail. Progress is the realisation of Utopias. ”
― Oscar Wilde, The Soul of Man Under Socialism
What is the perfect society in your heart?
Plato wants to create the ideal country of the philosopher's emperor; Thomas Moore, who invented the word Utopia, believes that the socialist school is the happiest; Fourier proposes the Phalanx community with enthusiasm as the gravitation; Laozi is yearning for inaction. Governance, the simple society of small countries and widows... The utopias of different times in each era actually represent the reflection of the society at that time, and hope to think about the possibility of another system through the fantasy of nowhere.
But what sacrifices or compromises are needed to reach this ideal country? The dystopian story shows the extreme means by which the rulers achieve a better world. The monitoring and individualization of the big brother of "1984"; the genetic transformation and the pursuit of happiness first in "Beautiful New World". The seemingly harmonious and beautiful society hides something wrong. There are so many works that satirize Utopia's illusions. Is Utopia really just unrealistic romance? What is the closest country to perfection? How do humans live together?
There may not be a simple answer to all of this, but we should not stop pursuing a better world. This month's series of Utopian themed events invite you to participate in this hottest topic since ancient times.
