Living utopian community? Ecovillages contesting
The scope of this paper is a new phenomenon of ecovillages. In the European count ries ecovillages comes from the broad concept of sustainability and resilience which are their cause as well as their consequence. Ecovillages are the alternative social actors, intentional communities, emerging during past decades, growing from the critiq ues towards highly consumerist social values and aspiring towards concrete, more sustainable living practices and wider ecological, holistic, integrated ways of living. In the scope of place, they emerge in the rural space, and thus affirm the new rurality by bringing postmodern and postmaterialist worldview to the rural society. These communities represent inovative, reflexive social stratum born as a reaction to current local and global socio - economic conditions. In the case study of five ecovillages in C roatia we explore their late - modern reflexive and intentional character considering different aspects of their praxis and beliefs (decision making, ecological worldview, work, solidarity). Furthermore, we analyse are these communities a thread of a wider e nvironmental social movement and do their practice of (reaffirming) communitarianism, solidarity and consensus as well as ecological thought and behaviour more integrate them with the wider (or local) society or separate them. In the conclusion we will emphasize what ecovillage worldview consists of and what kind of reflects on wider social level could bring
