Esperantist radical Eugène Lanti (1879–1947) anticipated a total ‘unification’ of humankind, envisioning that national, linguistic, and social differences would soon give way to a global, stateless, ...monolingual, postcapitalist utopia. This vision was grounded in Lanti's understanding of history as teleological progress toward increased rationality, social integration, and demythologization, as well as in his cosmopolitan reinterpretation of the social utility of Esperanto, which prioritised anti-nationalism, revolutionary tactics, and class-struggle over humanism and language rights. Lanti's linguistic–political thought is, consequently, an enticing and a reflexively potent example of a non-canonical approach to linguistic community, progress, and radical equality. A critical reading of it – as is laid out here – casts light on some of the tensions immanent in any linguistic universalism.

ABSTRACT
In this 2015 presidential address, I use the story of so‐called artificial (invented, constructed) languages to discuss anthropology as an act of imagining alternative worlds. I argue that ...this activity becomes particularly salient at moments of crisis in liberal democratic capitalism and takes a variety of forms according to the position of social actors with respect to the political economic conditions they face. From Esperanto to Klingon and beyond, artificial languages illustrate some key dilemmas and responses, of which anthropology is a part.

RESUMEN
En este discurso presidencial del 2015, uso la historia de los llamados lenguajes artificiales (inventados, construidos) para discutir la antropología como un acto de imaginar mundos alternativos. Argumento que esta actividad llega a ser particularmente prominente en momentos de crisis en el capitalismo democrático liberal, y toma una variedad de formas de acuerdo a la posición de los actores sociales con respecto a las condiciones económicas políticas que ellos enfrentan. Desde el esperanto al klingon y más allá, LAs ilustran algunos dilemas y respuestas claves, de los cuales la antropología es una parte.
