PLANTING ROOTS IN NOWHERE: THE CONCEPT OF HOME IN FEMINIST UTOPIAS

Summary/Abstract: This study aims to examine utopia, feminist utopia, and the concept of home, focusing on the alternative societal structures that reflect people's ideals. The study delves into how utopias and feminist utopias shape people's imagination and social aspirations, drawing them towards imagined perfect societies that diverge from their current realities. It also investigates how these utopias facilitate social change and transformation, while examining the role of the concept of home in these processes. Within the scope of this investigation, the historical development of utopias, which serves as a means of social critique, is thoroughly analyzed to understand how this concept has evolved and changed over time. Additionally, the emergence and dissemination of feminist utopias, which aim to alter women's positions and statuses in society, are explored. To comprehend the complex relationship between feminist utopias and the concept of home, Charlotte Perkins Gilman's renowned work, "Herland," is examined as a crucial reference. The conclusion summarizes the findings and emphasizes the relationship between the concept of home and feminist utopias.
