Utopian scholarship harbors a wide range of approaches and questions. Some of them seem easy to grasp, while others may entail perennial debates. In this course we will examine diverse approaches to the study of utopia and scrutinize various definitions, either explicit or implicit, of utopia. Special attention will be paid to the evolution of utopia as a literary genre.
