This text explores current debates within utopian studies, feminist
theory and post structuralist 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.
Divided into three parts, part one is concerned with approaches to
utopianism. The approach taken to a phenomenon or idea informs the
way that phenomenon or idea will be conceptualized. Different ways
of approaching utopianism are examined and challenged. The function
of utopian thought, it is suggested, is profoundly transgressive;
it provokes paradigm shifts in conscoiusness. By reference to
debates in contemporary feminism and through an exploration of the
difference between utopian and poststructuralist thought, part two
illustrates that this approach is the most appropriate when
conceptualizing contemporary feminism. The third part of the study
incorporates a thematic discussion of feminist utopian literature.
