Um, and continuing to the, on this issue of, like, um, finding utopian aspects and so on, um, some of the chapters, um, s- and some of the, on, of the themes that are raised can be a bit sort of pessimistic or, or nihilistic.
L
21:37Luca TrentoHOST
Um, but there is a chapter in particular, um, on, uh, Utopia Falls, which was, um, a, a TV series that I wasn't particularly a- aware of.
L
21:45Luca TrentoHOST
Um, and the argument is made there, I think, that these sort of, of television series, um, and utopian or dystopian ar- arguments can be understood as a first step or as, or as a gateway to, uh, social and political activism, especially for younger generations and so on.
L
22:08Luca TrentoHOST
Um, how does that, how does that work perhaps also based on your experience in, in teaching, uh, these texts to younger generations, to university students?
M
22:18Matthew LeggattGUEST
And I, I'll preface my response by just saying that, you know, um, this, this is a book that, uh, as I've already hinted at, um, is coming out in paperback, um, and was out in hardback six months ago, and the writing process finished quite some time ago.
M
22:31Matthew LeggattGUEST
So, so my memory sometimes is a little bit foggy of, of what's in a chapter and what's my, my idea of what's in a chapter.
M
22:38Matthew LeggattGUEST
Um, but yeah, you're talking about, um, a chapter by Heather McKnight in particular on Utopia Falls, which, I mean, they're all great chapters.
M
22:44Matthew LeggattGUEST
It's, but it's a very nice chapter.

One that I think speaks about kind of going back a little bit to the stuff I was talking about in the in my thoughts on whether or not I'm a utopian, you know, um, speaks to this idea that utopian, uh, utopianists are also activists, which I think is an interesting sort of leap, but yeah, there's no doubt.
