uchronia

İngilizce - İngilizce

uchronia teriminin İngilizce İngilizce sözlükte anlamı

Uchronia refers to a hypothetical time period of our world, in contrast to fictional lands or worlds. A concept similar to alternate history but different in the manner that uchronic times are not easily defined (mainly placed in some distant point near prehistory), reminiscent of a 'Conworld'. The word is a portmanteau of the word utopia (Greek u-topos not-land), replacing topos with chronos (time). It was originated by Charles Renouvier as the title of his 1876 novel Uchronie (L'Utopie dans l'histoire)
