The power of love has become a renewed matter of feminist and
non-feminist attention in the 21st century's theory debates. What
is this power? Is it a form of domination? Or is it a liberating
force in our contemporary societies? Within Feminism and the Power
of Love lies the central argument that, although love is a crucial
site of gendered power asymmetries, it is also a vital source of
human empowerment that we cannot live without. Instead of
emphasizing "either-or", this enlightening title puts the dualities
and contradictions of love center stage. Indeed, by offering
various theoretical perspectives on what makes love such a central
value and motivator for people, this title will increase one's
understanding as to why love can keep people in its grip - even
when practiced in ways that deplete and oppress. In light of such
analyses, the contributions within Feminism and the Power of Love
present new perspectives on the conditions and characteristics of
non-oppressive, mutually enhancing ways of loving. Bridging the gap
between Feminist Affect Studies and Feminist Love Studies, this
book will appeal to undergraduate and postgraduate students,
including postdoctoral researchers, interested in fields such as
women's and gender studies, sociology, political science,
philosophy, cultural studies and sexuality studies.
