#Utopia 2: 6-Stunden-Tage

Dem auf #Wertschätzung aller gesellschaftlichen Funktionen basierenden Geist entspreche es, dass jede Bürgerin* mindestens 1 #Handwerk erlerne und dies täglich 6 Stunden lang ausübe. Diese zeitliche #Befristung soll verhindern, dass man sich "den gantzen tag als das vych" abzumühen habe, sondern noch hinreichend Zeit übrig bleibe, um geistige Interessen zu verfolgen und etwa #Vorlesungen zu besuchen; dies gilt für beide #Geschlechter.

#Utopia 1: #Landdienst statt #Wehrdienst.

Die egalitäre Struktur der #Gesellschaft bestimme auch die Art, in der die Arbeit in der #Landwirtschaft organisiert werde. Die Nutzflächen seien den Städten in jeglichem Umfang zugeordnet. Bewirtschaftet werden sie von den Städten selbst, die einen Teil ihrer Bewohner beiderlei #Geschlecht jeweils für 2 Jahre aufs Land entsenden. Um die notwendige Expertise weiterzugeben, werde nur jeweils die Hälfte dieser Delegierten nach 1 Jahr ausgetauscht.

📝 Protopia: entre la distopia i la utopia

Coneixes el terme #protopia? En comptes de tractar-se d'un futur perfecte i inaccessible com una #utopia o un món caòtic i desesperançador com una #distopia, una protopia es defineix com una societat que avança gradualment millorant el procés evolutiu natural gràcies a la tecnologia.

Pues parece que acabo de escribir lo que será la idea principal de un próximo cómic. Veremos que sale de todo esto, el reto será crear un relato utópico dentro del género western.

Ahora tengo que contener las ganas de seguir explorando y documentándome mientras termino el que tengo entre manos, ha!

*A lecture on Degrowth Utopianism*

Yesterday was session 3 of our #Degrowth and Socioecological Justice course at the University of Copenhagen, co-organized by Rebecca Rutt and @FerRacimo . This time, the course featured Assoc. Prof. Mikkel Krause Frantzen from the Department of Arts and Cultural Studies and Jeppe Sørensen as representative of Den Grønne Ungdomsbevægelse (The Green Youth Movement) and the ecological publishing house Økotopia.

They hosted a great session on "Degrowth Utopianism", opening up a space to critically think about how to work towards utopias in the here and now. We wrote our own visions of #utopia in a futuring exercise, and delved into many sci-fi works. The lecture was centered around discussion of the article “Imaginaries of Hope: The Utopianism of Degrowth” by Kallis and March, as well as Ursula Le Guin’s essay “A Non-Euclidean View of California as a Cold Place to Be” ( cpb-us-e1.wpmucdn.com/sites.uc ), with its famous quote: “It seems that the utopian imagination is trapped, like capitalism and industrialism and the human population, in a one-way future consisting only of growth. All I’m trying to do is figure out how to put a pig on the tracks.”

Thanks to both Mikkel and Jeppe for an engaging and mind-opening session!

A quotation from Zinn

   An optimist isn’t necessarily a blithe, slightly sappy whistler in the dark of our time. To be hopeful in bad times is not just foolishly romantic. It is based on the fact that human history is a history not only of cruelty, but also of compassion, sacrifice, courage, kindness. What we choose to emphasize in this complex history will determine our lives. If we see only the worst, it destroys our capacity to do something. If we remember those times and places — and there are so many — where people have behaved magnificently, this gives us the energy to act, and at least the possibility of sending this spinning top of a world in a different direction.
   And if we do act, in however small a way, we don’t have to wait for some grand utopian future. The future is an infinite succession of presents, and to live now as we think human beings should live, in defiance of all that is bad around us, is itself a marvelous victory.
