I think there is a shift from utopia to dystopia in modern western culture. Are you rather a supporter of a positive or negative perspective, and why? What are the consequences for your scientific work? What are the consequences of one or the other approach for social sciences and psychological, social and (in general) scientific interventions?
Dear prof.
This is an important question and need a deep sociological research .
I would argue that despite the strong presence of dystopia in the social discourse, we are witnessing a renewed interest in utopias since the mid 1990's. The announcement of the supposed "end of History" in the late 1980's early 1990's sparked a revival of calls for creating "another world". The World Social Forum is perhaps one of the most eloquent example of that.
