Utopias and the Environment

Utopias and the Environment explores the way in which the kind of ‘dreaming’, or re-visioning, known as the ‘utopian imaginary’ takes environmental concerns into account. This kind of creative intervention is increasingly important in an era of ecological crisis, as we witness the failure of governments worldwide to significantly change industrial civilization from a path of ‘business as usual.’ It is up to the artists – in this case authors – as well as the critics, readers and thinkers, to imagine new ways of being as we enter this new era of rapid change and adaptation. This book was originally published as a special issue of Green Letters.
