This conference will focus on the notion of utopia in Francophone literature.
Indeed, utopia is often associated with desires for another society, another world: naturally, it tends toward representations introduced by dreams or desires, but in its unfolding, it can lead us toward a dreamed or ideal future, as it should have been.
The utopias of Francophone texts offer configurations that are both idealistic and realistic from a social and cultural perspective, allowing us to imagine the world differently. From this perspective, the ideals of Francophone writers can only be appreciated through the contexts in which they arose: rather than adhering to well-trodden paths or the compartmentalization of the academic world, most of these writers explore the unpredictable avenues of possibility to promote their vision of another world through theories of the imagination.
