An unsuspected variety of new collective combinations
Meanwhile, thus renewed, the Utopian impulse wanders the gamut from
dual relationships of all kinds, relationships to things fully as much as to other
people, all the way to an unsuspected variety of new collective combinations.
And insofar as our own society has trained us to believe that true disalienation
or authenticity only exists in the private or individual realm, it may well be this
revelation of collective solidarity which is the freshest one and the most startlingly
and overtly Utopian: in Utopia, the ruse of representation whereby the
Utopian impulse colonizes purely private fantasy spaces is by definition
undone and socialized by their very realization.
