Description
A queer-feminist analysis of how real spaces can make utopia tangible - and how hope can remain a serious sociological question.
At a time of global environmental crises, authoritarian backlash, and deepening social inequalities, the question of how more just futures can be imagined - and practiced - has become even more urgent. M.A. Seewald explores how real spaces of possibility emerge in a lesbian-queer community on the Greek island of Lesvos, how these spaces sustain hope without idealisation, and why they remain fragile. Grounding utopia in power, space, and collective life, this original combination of sociological analysis, queer-feminist theory, and ethnographic perspectives sheds new light on the possibilities of feminist futures and the transformation of patriarchal societies. In short, what can the world learn from lesbian-queer utopias?
M.A. Seewald is an inter- and transdisciplinary researcher, lecturer, and queer feminist artist. Her* work brings together sociology, queer and feminist theory, lesbian studies, and ethnographic research, with a particular focus on real utopias, heterotopic spaces, and community-based social transformation. Alongside her* academic work, she* has led the international participatory art campaign ANDERSRUMportrait, advocating worldwide for LGBTQIA+ rights and challenging discrimination through art and public engagement.
