Abstract
This poster tackles the question: Do we still need utopias. It briefly overviews the history of the term and outlines some key features of Influential Utopias. It then problematizes utopias as they are understood conceptually and used practically, and argues that the value of utopias are in their ability to induce imaginative critical political thought. The research conducted for this project involved an overview of current and historic litterature.
