New Comparative Criticism: The Good Place

 

Utopian literature provides a compelling vision of epistemological and moral clarity: a dream of harmony and justice. But in an age of surveillance, utopia is also the nightmare of a perfectly controlled, sealed and monitored world that leaves no room for ambivalence or discretion.

Beschrijving New Comparative Criticism: The Good Place

Is utopian literature a dream of harmony and justice or a nightmare of a controlled world with no ambivalence or discretion? Engaging with a wide range of texts from different periods and national traditions, leading scholars rethink ‘the good place’ and suggest that utopia, in the realm of fiction, is more than just a philosophical abstraction.
