Contemporary Feminist Utopianism

<p>A new and challenging entry into the debates between feminism and postmodernism, <em>Contemporary Feminist Utopianism</em> challenges some basic preconceptions about the role of political theory today. Sargisson explores current debates within utopian studies, feminist theory and poststructuralist deconstruction. Utopian thinking is offered as a route out of the dilemma of contemporary feminism as well as a way of conceptualizing its current situation. This book provides an exploration of, and exercise in, utopian thought.</p> INTRODUCTION, Part I Approaching utopianism, Part II New approaches and a new utopianism, Part III Utopianism and transgression, CONCLUSION, Bibliography, Notes, Index
