you've made a perspicacious observation, ...sy,<br /><br />you've made a perspicacious observation, which jibes with my understanding. photographically one turning point between optimism and pessimism, is the mid 1950s, marking the release of the photo exhibit family of man, and robert frank making photos that would 4 years later be published as the americans. night and day. have a look if you've not already.<br /><br />i also notice that the word dystopian has become more mainstream. another indicator of the trend you suggest?<br /><br />and finally for a novel that seems to be both utopian and dystopian, try leslie marmon silko's almanac of the dead.teeksahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06069567624738362369noreply@blogger.com
