HUM 260 Utopian Literature, Thought and Experiment

This Winter 2014 class will provide an introduction to the long history of utopian literature, from ancient myths about golden ages to the latest dystopian novels and films. Major topics for this semester will be the utopian city and the utopian university. Textbooks will be Utopia by Thomas More andCloud-Capped Towers: The Utopian Theme in Saskatchewan History and Culture, by the instructor. Some additional readings will be online documents bearing on the question of how utopian ideas for cities or universities actually become reality—or not. Exploring success and failure in implementing utopian ideas will lead us to consider material issues, organizational issues, and issues of what is often called "human nature."
