Institution:

Temple University

Subject:

Description:

How do real and fictional Utopian communities rearrange the usual social order? How do they define gender, deliver care, regulate competition, encourage cooperation, and create social justice? We will read about real and fictional communities. You will learn about intentional communities that have been established in the United States and other parts of the world. Each class member will choose one community to visit and learn about in depth. In some cases you will be able to visit in person, in other cases you can visit online, by e-mail or by phone. We will compare alternative visions of the good life and compare fiction and reality.
