$Vrijdagavonden: PhD in 1 Night \u2014 The Political Potential of Utopia$

During Friday Evenings, we present a 9-week programme around one or more artists, a collective or organisation.
PhD in 1 Night presents the novel The Unpredictable Past of the Future: The Political Potential of Utopia. It is a unique example of social utopian science fiction for children from the early 20th century.
The Unpredictable Past of the Future: The Political Potential of Utopia is a novel for children about the new education system from 1924 – 1925, written by an anonymous girl,‘Little Zora’ (Little Dawn). Zora, who lives with her parents in Belgrade, in the oppressive Kingdom of Yugoslavia, dreams of a school of the future. In her dream she drives an electric car, food is free for all at school, and all education is shared through aesthetics.
Written in 1924/1925, it was originally published in a communist children’s magazine called Budućnost (Future), for the “children of organized workers” in Belgrade. The book was recently discovered by Dr Biljana Andonovska, researcher at the Institute of Literature and Art, Belgrade.
The publication of this novel is the result of five years of work, selfpublished by Edicija Jugoslavija / PhD In One Night in collaboration with Založba Sophia.
