TAHIR, Mahira Hajiyeva. A critical examination of alternative space in utopian and dystopian narratives in the context of contemporary societal paradigms. Universidad y Sociedad [online]. 2024, vol.16, n.2, pp. 274-281.  Epub 30-Abr-2024. ISSN 2218-3620.

This research aims at undertaking a thorough examination of the intricate role played by alternative spaces within the realms of utopian and dystopian narratives, set against the backdrop of contemporary societal paradigms. The focal point of this research is to unravel the diverse ways in which authors employ alternative spaces as potent instruments for introspection, criticism, and the envisioning of societal transformation. The investigation further accentuates the pivotal role of alternative spaces as conceptual models for instigating societal change. These spaces emerge as conceptual blueprints that depict more egalitarian and just societies, serving as imaginative arenas where fairness, equality, and justice reign supreme. Authors strategically utilize these spaces to craft visions of worlds that prompt readers to contemplate the restructuring of their own societies for the better. Emphasizing the significance of space and spatiality as indispensable elements for comprehending societal structures and dynamics, the author underscores the critical exploration of alternative space in utopian and dystopian literature. This exploration is positioned as a profound method of engaging critically with the tangible realities of the world.
