Fronesis

lehtivihko, moniste
Berlinmurens fall tycktes markera slutet för den kommunistiska utopin, men samtidigt bars förändringen fram av en utopisk energi och drömmar om ett pluralistiskt samhälle utan förtryck. Det nya årtusendets inträde har samtidigt setts som inledningen på en ny tid, vilket gett näring till utopiska spekulationer. Fronesis nr 2 befinner sig i skärningspunkten mellan verklighet och utopi. Det handlar om den socialistiska idétraditionens förhållande till det utopiska tänkandet, om feministiska utopier, om det tidiga 1900-talets utopiska tanke om att skapa ”en ny människa” med mera. Innehåll i Fronesis nr 2 (138 sidor): Norberto Bobbio: Den förvridna utopins fall Petra Hall och Sara Winnfors: I glappet mellan möjligt och omöjligt Per Månson: Utopiernas död: Har socialismen någon framtid? Barbara Taylor: Den socialistiska feminismen: utopi eller vetenskap? Jakob Norberg: Inledning till Walter Benjamins ”Program för en proletär barnteater” Walter Benjamin: Program för en proletär barnteater Ulrika Holgersson: Frida Stéenhoffs feministiska utopi Frida Stéenhoff: Feminismens moral Jenny Lindblad: Herland – Den litterära feministiska utopin Charlotte Perkins Gilman: Våra förhållanden och deras Sara Winnfors: Arkitektur och makt Ur Acceptera-manifestet: Staden William Morris: Om den dekorativa konstens ursprung Michel Foucault: Rum, makt och kunskap Richard Saage: Reflektioner över den politiska utopins framtid Jean Baudrillard: I skuggan av millenniet, eller Det ovissa år 2000 Blå Tåget: Nyårsafton

These volumes bring to a close the only comprehensive edition of the surviving correspondence of William Morris (1834-1896), a protean figure who exerted a major influence as poet, craftsman, master printer, and designer. Volumes III and IV, taken together, give in detail the comments and observations that articulate his problematic political and artistic stands and equally problematic position within the aesthetic movement as it developed in the 1890s. Most eloquently voiced also are the complexities of his troubled marriage and his devotion to his epileptic daughter, Jenny, and his other daughter, May. But dominating all these themes, organizing and structuring them, are the Kelmscott Press and the building of Morris's important library of medieval manuscripts and early printed books. The letters record the way in which the Press becomes not only the center of Morris's aesthetic ambitions and achievements but also the site for his closest human relations and for much of his connecting with the makers of early modernism. The letters in Volumes III and IV are thoroughly annotated, and through texts and notes provide a new assessment of Morris's career. Included also, as appendices to Volume IV, are two important documents: the first, never before published, is F. S. Ellis's Valuation List of Morris's library, made after Morris's death, and the second, never before reprinted, is the text of what was to be Morris's final essay on socialism, published in April 1896.
