Non-textual utopias / utopias no textuales

Published by Julia Ramírez Blanco, in the fourth monographic issue of the Revista de Estudios Globales y Arte Contemporáneo devoted to ‘Non-textual Utopias’.
The issue begins by confronting two conventional interpretations of utopia. On the one hand, it opposes the vision of the utopian as an exclusively literary tradition, focusing instead on the field of visuality, orality and practice. On the other, it counters the interpretation of utopia as a single discourse, rather understanding the utopian as a human impulse that can assume multiple forms. This non-programmatic reading allows us to appropriate utopia as a place of political hope, one that makes struggles (and lives) sustainable. In addition to its online version, for the first time the journal is published as hardcopy, with a limited and numbered edition on paper, made by the artist and designer Teresa Mulet.
