Three undiscovered utopias in German-language literature from the Czech periphery: Moravian Wallachia and Zlín

Original language description

This study examines three literary utopias from the margins of German literature, namely German-language literature from Eastern Moravia. The works chosen for analysis are the dramatic cycle The City of People (Die Stadt der Menschen) by Moravian-born Austrian writer and visionary Susanne Schmida (1894-1981), the novel The Imperial City (Die Kaiserstadt) by the Austrian writer and diplomat Paul Zifferer (1879-1929), and the text &quot;&quot;The City of the Future&quot;&quot; (&quot;&quot;Die Stadt des Kommenden&quot;&quot;) by the German-speaking Czechoslovak author Walter Seidl. In all the texts examined, the model of urban landscape is used as the location of utopia: the prototype of an abstract futuristic city (Schmida), Vienna as an exemplar of political utopia (Zifferer), and Zlin as a fully realized social utopia (Seidl). These three sites show a complementary gradation in the sense of the (potential) realization of utopian ideas, i.e. the belief that, put simply, &quot;&quot;it was once good&quot;&quot; (Zifferer), &quot;&quot;it is good&quot;&quot; (Seidl), and &quot;&quot;it will be good&quot;&quot; (Schmida).
