It focuses on four authors that are representatives of the various positions in the Italian cultural debate: Pasolini, Calvino, Sanguineti, and Volponi. What did concepts like utopia and dystopia mean for these authors? Is it possible to separate utopia from dystopia? What is the role of science fiction in this debate? This book answers these questions, proposing an original interpretation of utopia and of the social role of literature. The book also takes into consideration four of the most influential literary journals in Italy: \u003ci\u003eOfficina\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eil menabò\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eil verri\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eNuovi Argomenti\u003c\/i\u003e, that played a central role in the cultural and political debate on utopia in Italy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Daniele Fioretti\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 331946552X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783319465524\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Palgrave MacMillan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/20\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 212\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.93lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.27h x 5.83w x 0.56d","brand":"Daniele Fioretti","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48089087607039,"sku":"9783319465524","price":99.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_887f70f2-59de-46ce-b401-123f0725a939.jpg?v=1769108125","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/utopia-and-dystopia-in-postwar-daniele-fioretti-9783319465524","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
