The novel replaces the static and closed spaces of traditional utopias with a fragmented spatiality of inexhaustible potential. Through a comparison with Thomas More’s Utopia (1516), the chapter suggests a reading of Calvino’s novel as an experimental reworking of the literary genre of utopia and particularly of the status of the city within it. The focus of the chapter is on the internal operations of this spatiality: its kaleidoscopic movement of combination and recombination of elements and its eutopian and dystopian horizons that are present in the cities not as endpoints of their historical development but rather as two vectors of change that underlie their endless transformations.
The complex urban space that arises from these descriptions can be understood as a utopian topos. Thank you again for your continued support of PlayStation.Italo Calvino’s novel Invisible Cities (1972) contains fifty-five descriptions of cities recounted by Marco Polo to the emperor Kublai Khan. PlayStation Studios and our third-party partners have jumped in to take advantage of these capabilities and expand their creative toolkit to deliver a generational leap in the experiences they bring to gamers. We developed PlayStation 5 with our community at the forefront of our thinking, which led us to deliver innovations like the adaptive triggers and haptic feedback in the DualSense controller, as well as PlayStation VR2. These accessories have proven really popular as players want their PlayStation 5 to reflect their taste. We developed a range of colors for the DualSense wireless controller and PlayStation 5 console covers. Over the past two and a half years we have unveiled new ways gamers can customize the experience and bring exciting colors into their homes.
