| Sumario: | Section 1 of chapter 9 of the book "Imperial Histories From Alfonso X to Inca Garcilaso: Revisionist Myths of Reconquest and Conquest" is presented. It explores the utopian and dystopian discourse, which is a kind of textuality that links the ethical critique, political propaganda, and cultural mythography. It would be interesting to set a working model of utopia/dystopia from Plato's mythic history of Athens and Atlantis. This model does not only serve as a substitute to the stagnant and less historical translation of utopia in Thomas More. |
