Utopian studies is an interdisciplinary field of study that researches utopianism in all its forms, including utopian politics, utopian literature and art, utopian theory, and intentional communities. In his 1516 book Utopia, Thomas More coined the term. Utopian studies can be subdivided into three major areas: study of utopian works, communitarianism and utopian social theory. A study opposite to Utopian studies is Dystopian studies. While Utopia are non-existent Society people dream of, Dystopia are essentially non-existent and non-desirable societies that individuals deem worse than their present society. They are also known as Negative utopia.
As a part of the counterculture of the 1960s, there was a revival of utopian works. The Society for Utopian Studies was founded in 1975 and the Utopian Studies Society was founded in 1988.
