This workshop aims to investigate the relationship of utopia and democracy, primarily in the 19th and 20th centuries, up to contemporary problems. We intend to enrich the intellectual history of the concept of democracy in drawing attention to its relationship with various forms of utopianism, either literary, political, philosophical or practical. We will investigate what elements of democratic societies have been endorsed and / or criticized by utopias, which we understand as social and political structures presented as alternatives to historical reality. The history of the concepts of both utopia and democracy have been changing in the past centuries, and there are a number of significant common points in their developments. Keynotes by Luisa Passerini (EUI) and Gregory Claeys (Royal Holloway). Speakers include Myrthe Bartels, Ferenc Huoranszki, Zoltán Balázs and András Bozóki.
