Books by Lucy Sargisson

Sargisson explores current debates around feminist theory, utopian studies and deconstruction. She argues for utopianism as a way out of the dilemma of contemporary feminism, as well as a way of conceptualizing its current situation.

Utopia is, literally, the good place that is no place. Utopias reveal people's dreams and desires and they may gesture towards different and better ways of being. But they are rarely considered as physical, observable phenomena. The authors turn their attention to real-life Utopian communities, based on their fieldwork in New Zealand.
