DESCRIPTION:Isidor Walliman\, PARCC Visiting Scholar\, Professor of Sociolo
 gy\, Economics and Social Policy\, School of Social Work\, University of A
 pplied Sciences Northwest Switzerland\, Basel. Utopias usually are based o
 n much idealism and commitment. In one way or another\, they aim to transf
 orm the status quo to signal directions of change and to prepare for signi
 ficantly new social and economic ways of life. Real Utopias could be seen 
 as "sociotopes" - in analogy to "biotopes" that signal and prepare alterna
 tives to a world of biological monocultures. Yet\, is idealism and commitm
 ent enough to build Real Utopias? What might be some criteria and methods 
 for building Real Utopias? Based on the Social Economy Basel www.viavia.ch
 /netzbon as an example\, Professor Wallimann will illustrate some of the t
 enets and organizational methods that have been the foundation of this par
 ticular Real Utopia project. In so doing\, he will address such things as 
 the role of new social movements\, resource based mobilization\, popular c
 ulture and organization\, centralization and decentralization\, etc. The S
 ocial Economy Basel real utopia project is in its 18th year. Its mission i
 s to arrive at local\, social and environmental sustainability.
