Welcome to the inaugural issue of The Utopian!

Coinciding with the fortieth anniversary of the occupation of the Sorbonne by Parisian students in May 1968, The Utopian's inaugural issue addresses the revolutionary spirit, then and now. Looking back, we explore the legacy of 1968, asking if these cultural transformations still have the force to shape the future, even after forty years. Looking forward, this inaugural issue seeks out new directions in politics, philosophy and art, questioning whether they might - and whether they should - have a similarly transformative impact.
