Utopian Narrative

A "Utopian Narrative" is a literary and ideological construct within utopian fiction that presents an idealized socio-political or cultural system through a coherent, sustained depiction of a harmonious society, distinguished from related narrative forms by its focus on the systematic representation of social perfection, rational order, and collective well-being as both achievable and desirable.
