- Summary:
- "We are at once in a compound crisis and an era of what Cornelius Castoriadis called "the retreat from autonomy." It will be necessary to change, quite radically, the social imaginary so as to provoke a new Age of Utopian Dreaming in which the possibility of a better world can once again appear on the horizon. Utopian Dreams against the Grain lays out the capitalist social imaginary, the utopian task at hand, the utopian dream's background in literary thought, and - in the conclusion - a practical discussion of climate change and of how transformative thinking can help mitigate the situation to come"-- Provided by publisher.
