Reflecting on experiences of intimate, romantic and sexual love, and the role of individual identity, these essays explore historical trajectories that have culminated in particular, contemporary experiences of intimate love. Politically, this work links identity and articulation of the self to liberatory practices in the arenas of friendship, romance and sex.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis interdisciplinary exploration of what love means in the 21st century incorporates academic writing and original creative work from established and emerging scholars around the globe. Essays from across the humanities and social sciences - including literary studies, sociology, psychology, philosophy and gender studies - interrogate the role of relational intimacy on topics of 'Love and Romance', 'Love and Liberation' and 'Love and Technologies of Intimacy'. The volume looks at the past, present and future in search of inspiration for transforming and re-charting the pathways of love, seeking a more diverse and emancipatory model of social life and what it would take to restore love to social and institutional spaces.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eStanislava Dikova\u003c\/b\u003e is MHRA Research Associate in Humanities at Keele University, UK, and Visiting Fellow in Literature, Film and Theatre Studies at University of Essex, UK. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eWendy McMahon\u003c\/b\u003e is Senior Lecturer in American Studies (Literatures and Cultures) at University of East Anglia, UK. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eJordan Savage\u003c\/b\u003e is Lecturer in United States Literature at University of Essex, UK.\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 260\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.55 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e October 31, 2024\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51773649977632,"sku":"9781501387418","price":73.71,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/e447125ad2410761980b175edfd6c381_62002ec9-fba9-43b9-90eb-fc89d04b4a14.webp?v=1780429814","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/love-and-the-politics-of-intimacy-bodies-boundaries-liberation-paperback","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
