Elusive Escapes?: Everyday Life and Ecotopia. Anderson, J. In Advances In Ecopolitics, volume 1, pages 64–82. Emerald Group Publishing, Bingley, 2007. ![Elusive Escapes?: Everyday Life and Ecotopia [link]](https://bibbase.org/img/filetypes/link.svg "link")
Paper doi abstract bibtex This paper explores how the ideal of autonomous ecological living – ecotopia - is created and compromised by the everyday cultural life of mainstream society. It investigates the degree to which the structures of the mainstream are eluded, changed and subverted in order to create ‘ecotopia’, but also how this ideal is compromised in order to survive day-to-day. Drawing on empirical research undertaken at the Centre for Alternative Technology, the paper argues that fragmented utopias are inevitable when attempting to live ecologically in twenty-first century Britain. However, the elusiveness of ecotopia offers an important opportunity to normalise these experiments in ecological living and emphasise their connections and capacity to inform mainstream society.
