MEMORY AND UTOPIA: THE PRIMACY OF INTERSUBJECTIVITY

"Memory and Utopia looks at the connection between memory and forgetfulness in Europe during the twentieth century, women's experience of becoming recognized as full subjects in the time of the crisis and "death" of the so-called universal subject, and the conjugation between utopia and desire in the 1968 movements of students, women and workers. Passerini makes use of oral history, feminist theory and practice and the history of the new social movements in interpreting the past."--BOOK JACKET.
