Utopia and Its Discontents

Plato to Atwood

By: Sebastian Mitchell

Utopia and Its Discontents traces literary representations of ideal communities from Plato to the 21st century. Each chapter offers close readings of key utopian and anti-utopian texts to demonstrate how they construct, challenge and explore the ideas and forms of earlier utopian writings and the social and political ideals of their own periods. In this original and insightful study, Sebastian Mitchell demonstrates how literary utopias are often as much about the past as they are about the present and the future. Utopia and Its Discontents concludes by arguing against the idea that the utopian has been eclipsed by the dystopian in contemporary culture. Topics covered include: - Early political and philosophical authors, such as Plato and Thomas More - Literary works, from Jonathan Swift's Gulliver's Travels to George Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-Four - Speculative-fiction writers such as H.G. Wells, Aldous Huxley and Margaret Atwood - Ecological and feminist texts by Ernest Callenbach, Ursula Le Guin and Marge Piercy - Twenty-first century utopianism This is an essential study for scholars and students of utopian literature.

Cultural, Structural and Strategic Change in Management Buyouts

By: Dean F. Berry,Sebastian Green

The separation of ownership and control in the modern corporation has given rise to extensive theoretical and practical speculation about the economic efficiency and managerial effectiveness of today's large, public corporation. In the case of the ten UK Buyouts studied here, a platform is presented to understand the positive effects of re-integrating ownership and control and to examine what, by contrast, has accounted for the successful performance of these companies, post-buyout.
