Auroville in Tamil Nadu, South India, is an internationally
recognized endeavour in prefiguring an alternative society: the
largest, most diverse, dynamic and enduring of intentional
communities worldwide. This book is a critical and insightful
analysis of the utopian practice of this unique spiritual township,
by a native scholar. The author explores how Auroville’s founding
spiritual and societal ideals are engaged in its communal political
and economic organisation, as well as various cultural practices
and what enables and sustains this prefiguratively utopian
practice. This in-depth, autoethnographic case study is an
important resource for understanding prefigurative and utopian
experiments – their challenges, potentialities and significance
for the advancement of human society.
