Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Only a monster can allow himself the luxury of seeing things as they are,” writes E. M. Cioran, the Romanian-born philosopher who has rightly been compared to Samuel Beckett. In History and Utopia, Cioran the monster writes of politics in its broadest sense, of history, and of the utopian dream. His views are, to say the least, provocative. In one essay he casts a scathing look at democracy, that “festival of mediocrity”; in another he turns his uncompromising gaze on Russia, its history, its evolution, and what he calls “the virtues of liberty.” In the dark shadow of Stalin and Hitler, he writes of tyrants and tyranny with rare lucidity and convincing logic. In “Odyssey of Rancor,” he examines the deep-rooted dream in all of us to “hate our neighbors,” to take immediate and irremediable revenge. And, in the final essay, he analyzes the notion of the “golden age,” the biblical Eden, the utopia of so many poets and thinkers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Human rights offer a vision of international justice that today’s idealistic millions hold dear. Yet the very concept on which the movement is based became familiar only a few decades ago when it profoundly reshaped our hopes for an improved humanity. In this pioneering book, Samuel Moyn elevates that extraordinary transformation to center stage and asks what it reveals about the ideal’s troubled present and uncertain future. For some, human rights stretch back to the dawn of Western civilization, the age of the American and French Revolutions, or the post–World War II moment when the Universal Declaration of Human Rights was framed. Revisiting these episodes in a dramatic tour of humanity’s moral history, The Last Utopia shows that it was in the decade after 1968 that human rights began to make sense to broad communities of people as the proper cause of justice. Across eastern and western Europe, as well as throughout the United States and Latin America, human rights crystallized in a few short years as social activism and political rhetoric moved it from the hallways of the United Nations to the global forefront. It was on the ruins of earlier political utopias, Moyn argues, that human rights achieved contemporary prominence. The morality of individual rights substituted for the soiled political dreams of revolutionary communism and nationalism as international law became an alternative to popular struggle and bloody violence. But as the ideal of human rights enters into rival political agendas, it requires more vigilance and scrutiny than when it became the watchword of our hopes.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Desde la República de Platón o la Nueva Atlántida de Bacon, hasta el mayo del 68, la globalización y los indignados. Todas las claves filosóficas y culturales de las principales ideas utópicas que han dado identidad a cada época histórica. La apasionante crónica de la constante búsqueda de un mundo mejor."(Agapea) "Por tanto, a lo largo de las páginas de este libro, cada época histórica puede conocerse por lo que no fue, es decir, por lo que anheló llegar a ser. De este modo, podemos ver cómo en cada uno de los siglos las utopías se orientaban a solucionar los problemas que acaecían a la mayoría de la población o a las mayores debilidades de cada momento."(Todo literatura) Un ensayo que nos descubre un anhelo humano y, por ello, presente en toda la historia de la humanidad: el deseo de un mundo mejor y más justo. El objetivo de Breve Historia de la Utopía es demostrar que el pensamiento utópico y el diseño de utopías no han sido una mera divagación o una cuestión marginal a lo largo de la historia del pensamiento occidental. Son numerosas las teorías utópicas y también los intentos de aplicación práctica de las mismas, desde la República de Platón hasta las corrientes altermundistas actuales, pasando por el buen salvaje de Rousseau o Mayo del 68 y sin dejar de lado propuestas radicales que, en sus orígenes también fueron utopías como el stalinismo o el nazismo. Un recorrido imprescindible por la historia de las ideas. Rafael Herrera considera que es tan importante, a la hora de estudiar las sociedades humanas, lo que estas fueron como lo que estas quisieron ser, un estudio de las distintas propuestas de sociedades utópicas es fundamental, habida cuenta que estas nacen de una noción ontológica y netamente humana: la certeza de que la sociedad en la que vivimos es mejorable.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Amid the rise of neoliberalism, globalization, and movements for civil rights and global justice in the post–World War II era, Chicanxs in film, music, television, and art weaponized culture to combat often oppressive economic and political conditions. They envisioned utopias that, even if never fully realized, reimagined the world and linked seemingly disparate people and places. In the latter half of the twentieth century, Chicanx popular culture forged a politics of the possible and gave rise to utopian dreams that sprang from everyday experiences. In Chicanx Utopias, Luis Alvarez offers a broad study of these utopian visions from the 1950s to the 2000s. Probing the film Salt of the Earth, brown-eyed soul music, sitcoms, poster art, and borderlands reggae music, he examines how Chicanx pop culture, capable of both liberation and exploitation, fostered interracial and transnational identities, engaged social movements, and produced varied utopian visions with divergent possibilities and limits. Grounded in the theoretical frameworks of Walter Benjamin, Stuart Hall, and the Zapatista movement, this book reveals how Chicanxs articulated pop cultural utopias to make sense of, challenge, and improve the worlds they inhabited.

Book excerpt: No corren tiempos propicios para la utopía. Pero quizá sea esa su característica principal: la de tener que avanzar contra viento y marea. La situación de destierro en que viven hoy las personas y los proyectos utópicos es muy similar a la de los poetas en la República de Platón: son expulsados de la ciudad ideal porque no alcanzan la verdad. Este libro pretende intervenir en el actual debate en torno a dos concepciones de la razón, la utópica y la científico-técnica, con un doble objetivo: por una parte, rehabilitar y activar la utopía con sentido crítico y dialéctico en medio de la oscuridad del presente; por otra, ponerla al servicio de la emancipación humana y de la liberación de los pueblos. Para ello revisa los hitos más importantes de la historia de la utopía, de las contrautopías y de las distopías. Este recorrido se completa con la más reciente utopía alterglobalizadora concretada en la propuesta de «otro mundo es posible». A partir de la historia se elabora una reflexión filosófica y teológica, sin desconocer las críticas contra la utopía. ¿Utopía en tiempos de crisis? Las utopías tienen su temporalidad, afirma Ernst Bloch. Es precisamente en tiempos de crisis cuando los oprimidos expresan su descontento e indignación, radicalizan su sentido crítico y formulan utopías movilizadoras de las energías emancipatorias de la humanidad. También la presente invitación a cultivar la utopía quiere ir más allá de los límites de lo posible, como sugiere Walt Whitman: «Antes del alba, subí a las colinas, miré los cielos apretados de luminarias y le dije a mi espíritu: cuando conozcamos todos estos mundos y el placer y la sabiduría de todas las cosas que contienen, ¿estaremos tranquilos y satisfechos? Y mi espíritu dijo: No, ganaremos esas alturas para seguir adelante».
