Utopian Bodies and the Politics of Transgression

Utopian Bodies and the Politics of Transgression

Taylor & Francis

A study of utopianism as a critique of the political present. The book is organised around three types of body: bodies of thought, of people and physical bodies. It covers three areas: feminism, environmentalism and sex/gender theory. > \nWhat do we want? What do we believe to be wrong with the world? How can we best change it?\nHow should we live? Given the world as it is, how can we best achieve our dreams and desires?\n Utopian Bodies is, quite simply, a new approach to thinking about theory. Using the dominant themes of green and feminist politics, this fascinating and original text creates a new notion of utopian thought and life - \""transgressive utopianism\"". This new concept is not a blueprint for an ideal polity; instead it demonstrates an approach to the world that is both idealistic and pragmatic, focussing on bodies of thought in relation to bodies of people: communities. Also spanning philosophy, political theory and deconstruction, this book is especially relevant to.
