Utopie per fare la differenza: dimensioni post-eurocentriche e post-antropocentriche dell’utopico

Abstract

The aim of this article is to analyse, on the one hand, the relation between modern ideas of utopia and post/decolonial criticism of the Eurocentric sources of such conceptualizations of utopia and, on the other hand, to expand this critique of historicism and teleological approaches with the help of ecofeminist visions. Current forms of everyday utopias – especially those driven by young people – are deeply influenced by a new attention towards the plurality of differences, with their intertwinements and intersections, inspiring a new conceptualization of immanent utopia looking beyond binarism, androcentric, Eurocentric and anthropocentric standpoints. The article highlights how, by reassembling existing resources and knowledges, utopia appears today more as a method than a goal.
