MESSIANIC LIGHT: UTOPIAN DISCOURSE IN THE WORK OF THEODOR W. ADORNO, LUCE IRIGARAY AND GIORGIO AGAMBEN Heather A. Thiessen December 15, 2010 What is the idea that "utopia" names? How can discourse represent that idea? Setting aside temporarily deeper problems with the idea of representation, and focusing on how a complex philosophical discourse might approach the problem of conveying or representing a large, only fairly precise, and important idea is the question of this dissertation. It ultimately answers that question obliquely, by focusing on the way the utopian discourse present in the work of three late 20 century philosophers, Theodor W. Adorno, Luce Irigaray, and Giorgio Agamben, addresses a subject position that can be named a "subject of possibility."

The dissertation introduces the question with a look at the problems associated with utopia.
