Description

This book argues that there is a radical and transformative potential in the `utopian body'. Lucy Sargisson looks at three different types of body to explore the notion of transgressive utopianism: bodies of thought: including feminism, ecological thought and the politics of sexuality and gender bodies of people: utopian communities including feminist, New Age and gender communities, actual physical bodies: exploring ideas of pornography and the sexed representation of women, cosmetic surgery, body-piercing and tattooing, transexualism and cross-dressing.
