Review: Corin Braga, Pour une morphologie du genre utopique
The Utopic Genre. Taxonomy, Cultural History, and “Worldmaking”.
Pour une morphologie du genre utopique by Corin Braga aims to solve the problem of the utopian genre morphology by identifying four subtypes of utopia: eutopia, outopia, dystopia, antiutopia. Using a strong theoretical frame, the study applies the classification on a substantial literary corpus, extracted from different epochs and different litteratures, from British to French, Romanian or Russian.
Keywords: utopian genre, eutopias, outopia, dystopia, antiutopia, morphology.
