This book presents a new approach to understanding contemporary
personal life, taking account of how people build their lives
through a bricolage of 'tradition' and 'modern'. The authors
examine how tradition is used and adapted, invented and
re-invented; how meaning can leak from past to present; the ways in
which people's agencies differ as they make decisions; and the
process of bricolage in making new arrangements. These themes are
illustrated through a variety of case studies, ranging from
personal life in the 1950s, young women and marriage, the rise of
cohabitation, female name change, living apart together, and
creating weddings. Centrally the authors emphasise the
re-traditionalisation involved in de-traditionalisation and the
connectedness involved in individualised processes of relationship
change. Reinventing Couples will be of interest to students and
scholars across a range of disciplines including sociology, social
work and social policy.
