Description

This lecture explores the concepts of utopia and dystopia, focusing on the narrativization of utopia into dystopia and the distinction between the two. The instructor discusses how utopia presents a perfect world observed from the outside, while dystopia reveals the negative impacts experienced from within. The lecture delves into the portrayal of extreme totalitarian systems in dystopias, contrasting them with real human systems that are never perfect. The discussion also touches on the role of elites in totalitarian regimes, the narrative strategies used in dystopian literature, and the relationship between science fiction and dystopian narratives. The lecture provides insights into how dystopian narratives reflect societal fears and anxieties, often extrapolating current trends to explore potential future scenarios.
