Diana Khouri.

"Potere, impotenza, utopia: la fantascienza di Ursula K. Le Guin, Michel Jeury e Marge Piercy" (Italian) ("Power, impotence and utopia..."), in La fantascienza e la critica. Testi del convegno internazionale di Palermo, Milano, Feltrinelli, 1980, pages 222-231. This essay is about non-transcendent utopia in Marge Piercy's work. Utopia come from a condition of total dispossession, when you dont' have nothing else to lose you can only try to built a real immanent utopia. Khouri says that utopia is aim of life against death and immobility; according to her, utopia is revolution. -- at
