106 Rocking the Good Boat Utopia
Politics, Race, Class, and Religion•634• Saturday, 4:00-5:15 p.m.
Let's assume that you live in the future, in a utopian world that has discarded the oppressions of the present and somehow maintains a classless, racially harmonious society where gender and sexuality are free and fluid. Dominant hierarchies are largely a thing of the past. What happens when, for some reason, someone displays "regressive" behavior? How does an egalitarian society regulate behavior in a manner that is not coercive or oppressive? Which SF examples point toward possible answers?
