“…Utopian stories are grounded in writings about Biblical lands, the myths of the Wonders of the Far East from the time of Hellenistic expansion, and fictional stories of travellers during colonialization (Eco 2013). If the Western identity is strongly rooted in the colonialized worldview-orientalism (Said 1978) and otherness (Bhabha 1994)-the same is true for utopian ideals (Dutton 2010;Eco 2013;Pohl 2010;Sargent 2010).…”

It is important that macromarketers understand how income and wealth inequality affect the way people think, live, and die. It is also important that they understand the source(s) of that inequality. This paper discusses how the power elite and the rich used the law to strategically withhold from the bottom 99 percent of the population the wealth generated in the post-World War II economy. This included more than a dozen specific stealth activities the U.S. government enacted from 1970 to 2010, although only a few are highlighted in this commentary. These activities created a Program of Welfare for the Wealthy that worked against the general welfare of the American people. We refer to these as stealth activities because much of what happens in government occurs behind the scenes, in the dark.

“…Fátima Vieira (2010) aponta com acuidade a característica difusa da utopia enquanto gênero literário, muitas vezes misturando-se com gêneros assemelhados, como a ficção especulativa e a estética pastoral. Para essa discussão, ver Vieira (2010, p. 6) ePohl (2010).…”

The island as a fictional mock-up: colonialism and miscegenation in the Thomas More’s Utopia

This article seeks to read Thomas More’s Utopia (1516) as a key of analysis of the intrinsic connections between European modernity and a set of practices produced by the colonial process. Thus, the main objective is to discuss how fictional discourse can serve us, contemporary readers, as a didactic tool to visualize, in territories created by the colonial process, the persistence of its mechanisms. Using fiction as a field of discussion and response to this process would mean to claim the topology of the utopic, making it a kind of fictional mock-up of societies constituted by colonialism, anticipating or reflecting the spatial alterations imposed by modernity.
