With an interdisciplinary approach, chapters discuss the notion of a utopian impulse in literature, music, performance, cinema, visual arts, critical theory, cultural studies, and political science. Among the many questions the book grapples with are how the utopian impulse is reconfigured over time, especially in new cultural fields and situations, and how Latin American utopias should be contextualized in the so-called global era.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/The-Utopian-Impulse-Latin-America\/dp\/0230103529\/ref=sr_1_59?s=books&#038;ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1331965857&#038;sr=1-59\" target=\"_blank\">Buy at Amazon.com<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.de\/The-Utopian-Impulse-Latin-America\/dp\/0230103529\/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1332762006&#038;sr=8-1\" target=\"_blank\">Buy at Amazon.de<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Beauchesne, Kim, Alessandra Santos (eds.). <em>The Utopian Impulse in Latin America<\/em>.
