I've put up the first of our promised "American futurity" posts over at culturemonkey, this one beginning with some thoughts on space and time in the imagination of Utopia and ultimately coming to rest on the possible structural origins for the claim of "American exceptionalism" that so thoroughly dominates American politics today. I must warn you that the post starts out a little bit "in the weeds," as they say, but I hope it gets better as it goes on—and there's a few easter egg links inside for those with the wisdom patience to read through the whole thing.
