CarniceroS on LockyerP, Sustainability and Utopianism

Santiago writes "It (the ethnograhy) introduces the challenge of sustainability and provides context that legitimate the relevance of utopian projects to the modern world". In answering the question "how is the critism of the text performed", Santiago adds there are different scholarly views toward Utopianism. The author presents it"as a transformation according to contemporary values rather than a failure...it presents the modern world as opposed to the object of analysis, to the ethos of the intentional communities". I'm very interested in reading more of the communities' understanding of Utopianism and how they position utopia and modernity in a temporality frame.
