Zsolt Czig\u00e1nyik about his talk: Utopia is situated in no-man\u2019s land between literature, social philosophy and the social sciences, where literary and socio-political factors interact. Historian P\u00e9ter Han\u00e1k has argued that Central Europe is a region where reality and utopia have always mingled. In my presentation I reflect on both concepts: how utopian literary works reflect the social and political reality, and how this genre that stemmed from Western Europe was received and developed in our region. I intend to outline briefly <\/span>how I understand the concept of utopia and the changing concept of Central Europe in its liminal position between East and West. Based on my studies in English and Hungarian utopian literature, I present our ongoing project as the leader of the Democracy in East Central European utopianism<\/a> research group that aims to outline the specific features of Central European utopias, such as their national character.<\/p>\n
