Genealogies of Emotions, Intimacies and Desire excavates
epistemologies which attempt to explain changes in emotional
regimes from medieval society to late modernity. Key in this debate
is the concept of intimacy. The book shows that different
historical periods are characterized by emotional regimes where
intimacy in the form of desire, sex, passion, and sex largely exist
outside marriage, and that marriage and traditional normative
values and structures are fundamentally incompatible with the
expression of intimacy in the history of emotional regimes. The
book draws on the work of a number of theorists who assess change
in emotional regimes by drawing on intimacy including Michel
Foucault, Eva Illouz, Lauren Berlant, Anthony Giddens, Laura Ann
Stoler, Anne McClintock, Niklas Luhmann and David Shumway. Some of
the areas covered by the book include: Foucault, sex and sexuality;
romantic and courtly love; intimacy in late modernity; Imperial
power, gender and intimacy, intimacy and feminist interventions;
and the commercialization of intimacy. This book will appeal to
students and scholars in the social sciences and humanities,
including sociology, gender studies, cultural studies, and literary
studies.
