Aims to explain why claims about the autonomy and interrelatedness of the arts, expressed in the form of a provocative monthly journal, proved so influential as to be a source of inspiration for the "Oxford and Cambridge Magazine", "The Century Guild Hobby Horse", "The Yellow Book", "The Savoy", and even for Modernist periodicals.

Cultures of Sustainability and Wellbeing: Theories, Histories and Policies examines and assesses the interdependence between sustainability and wellbeing by drawing attention to humans as producers and consumers in a post-human age. Why wellbeing ought to be regarded as essential to sustainable development is explored first from multifocal theoretical perspectives encompassing sociology, literary criticism and socioeconomics, second in relation to institutions and policies, and third with a focus on specific case studies across the world. Wellbeing and its sustainability are defined in terms of biological and cultural diversity; stages of advancement in science and technology; notions of citizenship and agency; geopolitical scenarios and environmental conditions. Wellbeing and sustainability call for enquiries into human capacities in ontological, epistemological and practical terms. A view of sustainability that revolves around material and immaterial wellbeing is based on the assumption that life quality, comfort, happiness, security, safety always posit humans as both recipients and agents. Risk and resilience in contemporary societies define the intrinsically human ability to make and consume, to act and adapt, driving the search for and fruition of wellbeing. How to sustain the dual process of exploitation and regeneration is a task that requires integrated approaches from the sciences and the humanities, jointly tracing a worldwide cartography with clear localisations. This book will be of great interest to students and researchers interested in sustainability through conceptual and empirical approaches including social theory, literary and cultural studies, environmental economics and human ecology, urbanism and cultural geography.

L'Histoire transnationale de l'utopie littéraire et de l'utopisme est née de la conviction que pour comprendre un genre aussi stratifié que l'utopie, l'analyse diachronique est incontournable. Mais une "histoire" n'est pas synonyme d'œuvre monolithique qui exclut ou élude des questions provocantes et controversées. Pour embrasser différentes traditions utop iques nationales, en Europe et hors d'Europe, on a fait choix d'une méthode comparatiste et transdisciplinaire dans une approche diachronique permettant de suivre au fil des siècles le développement de l'utopie - en tant que genre littéraire - et de l'utopisme - en tant que mode de pensée. Ainsi, étudier l'utopie dans une perspective transnationale revient à reconsidérer d es concepts fondamentaux tels qu'identité nationale, communauté, appartenance, mémoire historique/mémoires historiques, et surtout à s'interroger sur la crise du concept d'État/nation et sur le lien entre utopie et globalisme/localisme.
