Sexualities

Résumé

To relegate the question of gender and sexuality to a subgenre of contemporary dystopias is to dismiss an overdue analysis of an essential feature of utopias: the formation of the individual identity through the lens of gender and sexuality—and perhaps most prevalently, through family dynamics and the question of posterity. To articulate a history and analysis of queerness and sexuality in utopian fantasies, it is essential to approach this paradox. This chapter asks, how does one write a society in which the Other, the marginal individuality and its sexual ambiguity become the center of this radical thought-experiment? Does the situatedness of gender expression and sexuality forbid the formation of a utopian society?
