Love: A Question for Feminism in the Twenty-First Century - Paperback

by Anna G. Jónasdóttir (Editor), Ann Ferguson (Editor)

This book sets the stage for a new materialist feminist debate on the analysis, ethics and politics of love. The contributors raise questions about social power and domination, situating their research in a materialist feminist perspective that investigates love historically, in order to understand changing ideologies, representations and practices. The essays range from studies of particular representations and examples of love, to feminist theories of love and marriage, to ethical and political theories describing, critiquing or advocating the use of love in groups as a radical force.
