Description

Lucy Sargisson's Contemporary Feminist Utopianism offers a thought-provoking exploration of the intersection between feminism and postmodernism, challenging conventional notions about political theory. By examining current debates in utopian studies, feminist theory, and poststructuralist deconstruction, Sargisson argues for a new approach to utopianism as a means of conceptualising contemporary feminism.

She rejects traditional views of utopia as a perfect blueprint for the future, instead advocating for a transgressive utopianism that acknowledges the complexities and challenges of the present. This book provides an accessible entry into the debate, making it an ideal choice for those interested in feminist theory, political science, or social history.

With its stimulating and original approach, Contemporary Feminist Utopianism is a valuable contribution to ongoing discussions about feminism, utopianism, and their relationship. This paperback edition makes it easy to incorporate into your reading list.
