Love and Sexuality in Social Theory (Classical and Contemporary Social Theory)

Love and sexuality social theory book

Love and Sexuality in Social Theory considers the role that love and sexuality play in private and public life.

Drawing on both classical and contemporary social theory, this book presents both theoretical and empirical studies of love and sexuality as social factors, from the earliest reconstructions of modern emotional life to the most recent analyses of liquid love. With attention to the consequences that passions and desires have both on morals and behaviour, it departs from the analysis of society in terms of the division of labour and utilitarian mechanisms to consider how a society based on performances values human energy and emotional behaviour in a contradictory way.
