A Marcha das Utopias is a Portuguese-language essay on the theme of Utopia by Brazilian author Oswald de Andrade.
Andrade originally submitted the essay as a master's thesis in 1950; it was declined by the Faculty of Philosophy of the University of São Paulo. In 1953, he published it as part of a series of articles in the newspaper O Estado de S. Paulo. It has been frequently reprinted, including a posthumous edition by Brazil's Ministry of Education and Culture (MEC) in 1966.[1]
The theme of utopia in relation to the Americas is one Andrade returned to through his career.[1] In this essay he considers how the idea of utopia has affected the history of the Americas, and whether it can be appropriated as a tool of resistance.[2]
