As Peter Horsfield (l987) argues, the media represent a new symbolic environment, which, moreover, has an essential educational impact, shaping, as Douglas Kellner notices (2003), the people's views and values, providing "the symbols, myths, and resources through which we constitute a common culture and through the appropriation of which we insert ourselves into this culture. Media spectacles demonstrate who has power and who is powerless." Thus, the culture we are currently living in is a mediacontrolled and shaped culture and the manners in which it expresses the message are increasingly sophisticated and predominantly visual. As the influential Jessica Evans and Stuart Hall argued, when discussing visual culture: "The mechanically and electronically reproduced image is the semantic and technical unit of the modern mass media and at the heart of post-war popular culture", the image and visual message being employed in a plural and increasingly diversified range of forms on the background of the massified communication and commodifying of information.

This conference examines and seeks to redefine the “transgressiveness” that characterizes current global spaces. “Transgressiveness” may refer to large migrations of populations, refugees, diasporic or economic displacements, as well as to connected presences that are linked to digital spectrality and reasoning in the era of the post-image. This fluidity of space, including the porosity of borders, constitutes a threshold between the real and the fictional and subverts current political geographies. We invite contributions that explore the ways in which the planetary supersedes, develops, and limits older notions of space, diaspora, psychologies of displacement and (un)belonging, and border thinking. The planetary is a conceptual category that needs to be interrogated for its critical potential. Therefore, the conference seeks to explore topics that address the planetary in innovative ways.
The conference seeks to investigate the intersections between national geographies with their connotations of tradition violence, zombies and ghosts of the past (e.g., ghost towns) — and planetary geographies. The conference raises questions as to how, when, and for what reasons national societies disintegrate and larger planetary social and cultural formations emerge. Is there a causality beyond global neo-liberalism and capitalist market ideologies? How might we relate the notion of a “spectrography of the territory” (N. Clitandre) to planetary forms of people’s sovereignty, sustained slow or/and intensive violence? How do continuous divisions of gender, race and class spatialize the planet or planetary thinking? How does time and temporality intervene into a predominantly spatial planetary imaginary? These questions also serve to interrogate the way in which the various current humanities (nuclear, digital, environmental) are reformulated through a post-global perspective.
In this context we want to explore the planet – as different from “the globe” — as a concept that lacks hierarchical order and promises a heterarchy (D. Hofstadter), namely, a desecrated hierarchy that lacks particular rankings and priorities and scrambles given social, political and cultural inequities of power. Thus, the conference seeks to address the ways in which contemporary readings, representations and discourses of the planet as an ontological and critical category differ from earlier postmodern discourses of diversity, difference and alterity. How does such an understanding of the planetary accommodate and trouble the resurgence of heterodoxies within radically heterogeneous spaces, as, for example, amplified in the contemporary context of the archive of the cold war that resurfaces in the current geopolitical landscape and has long been neglected?
How do cultural and literary representations of radical “alterity” (Spivak) and emerging concepts of planetary space and time configure planetary subjects? How do we understand, aesthetically and politically, alterity as a mode of subject formation? This conference will specifically investigate the relationship between concepts of planetarity and micro-local and anachronistically national localities. The latter are frequently marked by the traumas of communist censorship, by militarized biopolitics of the Cold War, and by surveillance and repression, while, simultaneously experiencing a resurgence of nomadic music, ancestral traditions, feminism and Roma activism, and inter-ethnic “barbarism”. How, then, does planetary thinking negotiate micro-local transformations? How do these transformations contribute to, trouble, or obstruct the articulation of planetary “transgressiveness”? How do they enable, complicate or undermine the making of a planetary imaginary?
Keywords and topics to be addressed:
1. Urban myths, ghost towns, “planetary slums” and megacities
2. Geocritics, planetary commons and planetary solidarities
3. Nomad cartographies, literary and planetary geographies
4. Nuclear humanities
5. Performativity and the making of public planetary spheres
6. The territory, anti-territory and non-territory in the post-image era
7. Cold war archives and planetary thinking
8. Barbarians, monsters, zombies and spectrality (in the context of global capitalism and neo-liberalism)
9. Perception of refugees and planetary imaginaries
10. Neuroses and psychopathies of history and nation in the post-cold war era

On the textual level, the author is careful to comply with a convention of truthfulness in order to place Hythloday’s journey within the history and geography of the time. On the metatextual level, Thomas More uses names (toponyms and ethnonyms) as means of denying the empirical reality of Hythloday’s journey and emphasizing its satirical, self-critical nature, on the one hand, and its theoretical and intertextual dimension (the scholarly, witty dialogue with Plato, Erasmus and the whole humanist tradition), on the other hand. Thus while at the literal level, Utopia has a fictional ontological consistency that makes it a pragmatic utopia or, in other words, a eutopia, its truthfulness is undermined at the metadiscursive level by a witticism that is typical of the age of Early Moderni...

Dezbaterile au devenit un fel de şedinţe de brain-storming, în care textul de plecare a fost de multe ori îmbogăţit, corectat, pus în perspective prismatice, depăşit sau amplificat. Au fost nişte discuţii foarte incitante şi iluminatoare, care adeseori i-au ajutat pe propunători să-şi înţeleagă mai bine propriile demersuri. Mai mult, alături de funcţia teoretică constructivă, dezbaterile pot fi privite şi ca nişte experienţe intelectuale şi de comunicare, un fel de focus-grup (sau grup Delfi, în terminologia de specialitate), care depune mărturie pentru o formă de cercetare academică în România începutului de secol XXI. Adunate la un loc, aceste texte teoretice şi dezbaterile pe marginea lor constituie un dosar al contribuţiei ”şcolii clujene” la cercetarea imaginarului.

Dans cette quête d’une nouvelle définition et d’une nouvelle pratique de l’identité collective, un rôle dont on ne saurait exagérer l’importance jouent les projections imaginaires. Par conséquent, les réalités pragmatiques (comme l’immigration et l’émigration) et les théories et les idéologies politiques et juridiques (comme les mécanismes de gouvernance transnationale) ne peuvent (plus) ignorer la composante émotionnelle et imaginative du comportement des individus et des groupes, les mythes collectifs et les imaginaires sociaux. Ce volume se propose donc de souligner les processus d’élaboration imaginaire des identités collectives et leurs effets.

Le volume analyse le développement de l’antiutopie aux XVIe-XVIIIe siècles. Les utopies de la Renaissance sont vues comme des alternatives au Paradis terrestre, opposant à la cité de Dieu une cité construite par l’homme. Thomas More, Francis Bacon, Johann Valentin Andreae, Tommaso Campanella, et bien d’autres utopistes encore ont placé le jardin d’Eden, naguère seul apanage de Dieu, sous le patronage exclusif des hommes, proclamant ainsi la primauté de la cité terrestre sur la cité céleste. L’Utopie est l’un des visages de ce paradis réapproprié, paradis qui ne survécut cependant pas plus d’un siècle à la vague d’optimisme qui l’avait porté. Les projets utopiques ont été soumis à des critiques violentes par la théologie post-tridentine, le rationalisme cartésien et l’empirisme anglais. Censurés par la vision dominante, plusieurs auteurs ont commencé à imaginer des contre-utopies, des enfers sur terre et des sociétés de cauchemar.
Utilisant l’archétypologie métaphysique et l’archétypologie psychologique, l’auteur analyse des œuvres représentatives pour les grandes époques de la culture européenne, de Sophocle et Euripide à Robert Musil et Umberto Eco.

La première partie du volume fait le bilan des théories portant sur le genre utopique. Je passe en revue les genres et les figures connexes à l’utopie : âge d’or, paradis terrestre, millénium, Cocagne, Arcadie et pastorale, robinsonnade, voyage extraordinaire, fantasy, science-fiction, etc., pour déboucher sur une définition compréhensive de l’utopie littéraire. Je continue en inventoriant les termes qui désignent les variétés du genre utopique : utopie et anti-utopie ou contre-utopie, eutopie et dystopie, cacotopie, satire utopique et utopie satirique, utopie inversée, pseudo-utopie et semi-utopie, utopie négative et utopie « de-utopianisée », utopie critique et antiutopie critique. Ces termes rentrent dans le cadre plus large de deux sous-genres opposés et complémentaires : les topies positives et les topies négatives. Dans un premier temps je démontre que les deux sous-genres peuvent être compris comme des structures binaires, comme des systèmes solaires à deux astres, où le pôle positif (la cité idéale) et le pôle négatif (la cité maudite) occupent des positions symétriquement inverses. Dans un deuxième temps, je réorganise tous ces termes sous quatre typologies : outopie, eutopie, dystopie, antiutopie. J’attribue à l’image du monde contemporain de l’auteur (que j’appelle mundus ou imago mundi) la valeur de « réalité neutre ». Par rapport à ce repère zéro, l’outopie, l’eutopie, la dystopie et l’antiutopie sont des « virtuels », des « possibles latéraux ». L’outopie et l’eutopie sont des « virtuels positifs », situés vers la droite de l’infini positif, la dystopie et l’antiutopie des « virtuels négatifs », situés vers la gauche de l’infini négatif. Pour distinguer les éléments de chaque groupe binaire je propose d’utiliser deux critères: possibilité / impossibilité (eutopie / outopie, respectivement dystopie / anti-utopie), et extrapolation utopique (sélection des traits positifs, respectivement négatifs) / réduction à l’absurde (inversion des traits négatifs en traits positifs – l’outopie, et des traits positifs en traits négatifs – la contre-utopie).
La quatre parties suivantes proposent des analyses de cas pour chacune des quatre typologies, sélectant des exemples de chaque époque littéraire et chaque corpus de topies : fictions renaissantes (de More à Campanella), baroques (de Hall à Swift), libertines (de Cyrano à Tyssot de Patot), commonwealths, voyages extraordinaires, pansophies, utopies révolutionnaires, socialisme utopique, antiutopies modernes, apocalypses science-fiction, etc. La bibliographie comporte environ 1000 titres d’œuvres principales et environ 1000 titres d’ouvrages critiques.
