In 2015, to celebrate its 35<sup>th<\/sup> anniversary, Helion inaugurates its international conference series.<\/p>\n<p>The themes of the conference series are meant to accommodate a diversity of approaches and topics, and allow for an interdisciplinary, intercultural dialogue. The next two themes are: \u00a0\u201cUtopia and Modernity: What Next?\u201d (2016, 500 years More\u2019s <em>Utopia<\/em>), and \u201cBeyond Humanity as We Know It: Utopia, Science Fiction, and Biopolitics\u201d (2017).<\/p>\n<p>Indeed, what are the forms, tropes, (sub)genres, discourses one could identify starting from the 2015 conference theme? Is Utopia still alive? If not, why? If yes, how, and why? How about science fiction? How about their next of kin (fantasy, fantastic literature, any other form of speculative literature, visual arts, forecasting, etc.)? How do they function, how do they relate to the present, the future, the past, their own past? What are their regimes of historicity? These questions and others ought to be asked at this juncture, fifteen years into the 21<sup>st<\/sup> century. On the basis of the proceedings, we plan to publish a book in English.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong><a style=\"color: #ff0000;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.societateamuzicala.ro\/sorinantohi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Helion-2015-Programme.docx\">Descarca pliant &#8211; Helion 2015 Programme<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>First Helion International Conference Utopia, Science Fiction, and Their Significant Others in the 21st Century Timi\u0219oara, Romania, 8-9 May 2015 Conveners: Sorin Antohi, Mariano Mart\u00edn Rodr\u00edguez, Cornel Secu Helion, one of Romania\u2019s oldest and most prestigious science fiction clubs, established on 18 March 1980, has a rich record of conferences, conventions (including EUROCON 1994), workshops, [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[12],"tags":[168,65,180,183,181,104,27,22,182,165,21,178,18,93,179,23],"class_list":["post-623","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-conferences","tag-carte-antohi","tag-conferinta-sorin-antohi","tag-conferinte-sorin-antohi","tag-dialog-antohi","tag-dialog-sorin-antohi","tag-ganditor-sorin-antohi","tag-imaginar-social","tag-intellectual-history","tag-interviu-antohi","tag-interviu-sorin-antohi","tag-istoria-ideilor","tag-istoric-al-ideilor","tag-sorin-antohi","tag-sorin-antohi-carte","tag-sorin-antohi-istoric","tag-the-history-of-ideas"],"acf":{"cc_filter":[],"poza_fixa":false,"url_poza_fixa":"","oras":"","sector":"0","zona":"null","in_strainatate":false,"pian":false,"orga":false,"data1":"1431043200","data2":"","afiseaza_data_post":false,"acf_sala":"","centru_cultural":"","articole_parinte":"","articole_relationate":"","coordonate":false,"tab1_nume":"Despre","tab3":false},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
