Utopias stand between art, humanities and social sciences. They express the imaginary of the time, which are often constant throughout the history of mankind. This location across borders allows us to see the importance of the interrelationship between the arts, humanities and social sciences over the social imaginary, which were separated with the consolidation of modernity, based in dichotomies that must be overcome to achieve a more complex and profound vision of reality. In this paper we analyze the Renaissance and socialist utopias and imaginary expressions that reflect social reality, as well as actual the absence of structured utopias.
