Alfred Jarry

	Cacotopia
		The prefix caco- means "the worst", but also has scatological overtones.
		Perhaps Alfred Jarry's Ubu Roi[?] (translated as King Turd) should be considered a cacotopia.

	Talk:Cacotopia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		We have articles on Dystopia, and I think the article on Cacotopia could be expanded.
		I wouldn't mind a redirect from cacotopia to Jeremy Bentham, though.
		Jarry is in there for two reasons, 1) the subject of the novel is a cacotopia, 2) the resonance between Turd (Ubu) and caco-.

	Dystopia
		The term was coined as a converse to a Utopia, and is most usually used to refer to a fictional (often near-future) society where current social trends are taken to nightmarish extremes.
		According to the Oxford English Dictionary, the term was coined in the late 19th century by John Stuart Mill, who also used Bentham's synonym, cacotopia, at the same time.
		Both words were based on utopia, analyzed as eu-topia, for a place where everything is as it should be; hence the converse "dys-topia" for a place where this is certainly not the case.

		An early user of the term was John Stuart Mill (1806-1873), in a parliamentary speech in 1868, but its recent fashionableness probably stems from its use in Quest for Utopia (1952) by Glenn Negley (1907-1988) and J. Max Patrick (1908-).
		Anthony BURGESS argued in 1985 (1978) that "cacotopia" would be a more apt term.
		Dystopian images are almost invariably images of future society, pointing fearfully at the way the world is supposedly going in order to provide urgent propaganda for a change in direction.

	Distopia - Wikipedia
		Per distopia (o antiutopia, pseudo-utopia, cacotopia o utopia negativa) si intende una società indesiderabile sotto tutti i punti di vista.
		Il termine è stato coniato come opposto di utopia ed è soprattutto utilizzato in riferimento ad una società fittizia (spesso ambienta in un futuro prossimo) dove le tendenze sociali sono portate ad estremismi apocalittici.
		Secondo l'Oxford English Dictionary, il termine fu coniato alla fine del diciannovesimo secolo dal filosofo John Stuart Mill, che si serviva allo stesso tempo anche di un sinonimo creato da Bentham: cacotopia.

		The Economist has trotted out yet another of those worldwide 'quality of life' tables, and apparently the Kingdom is ranked 29th this year.
		I suspect you can select a slum in any gorgeous corner of the world and class it as bottom, and a gated community in any cacotopia might rank higher than 29th.

		Probably spurred on by all of the new movies about the walking-- and sometimes racing-- dead, I recently began analyzing my nightmare zombie-utopia.
		Unfortunately, I found out that in the late 1800s John Stuart Mill had invented the term and that he also used cacotopia, an even more annoying word coined earlier by Jeremy Bentham.
		Regardless of when the term was created (and don't think I am not above the thought of a Blade Runner conspiracy), the importance is in the word itself.

		Later, in 1818, Jeremy Bentham coined the antonym cacotopia, using the Greek adjective cacos (=bad) to designate a fantasy universe in which everything conveys dysphoria rather than euphoria, like in Orwell’s celebrated fiction 1984.

		Cacotopia is only found in two sources in the nineteenth century, but I'll throw it in to be complete.
