Undoubtedly Romantic love has come to saturate our culture and is
often considered to be a, or even the, major existential goal of
our lives, capable of providing us with both our sense of worth and
way of being in the world. The Radicalism of Romantic Love
interrogates the purported radicalism of Romantic love from
philosophical, cultural and psychoanalytic perspectives, exploring
whether it is a subversive force capable of breaking down
entrenched social, political and cultural norms and structures, or
whether, in spite of its role in the fight against certain
barriers, it is in fact a highly conservative impulse. Exploring
both the grounds for the central place of Romantic love in
contemporary lives and the meaning, extent and nature of its
supposed radicalism, this volume considers love from a variety of
theoretical perspectives, with attention to matters of gender,
sexuality, class and ethnicity. With authors examining a range of
questions, including the role of love in the same-sex marriage
debate, polyamory and the notion of love as a political force, The
Radicalism of Romantic Love illuminates a fundamental but
perplexing aspect of our contemporary lives and will appeal to
scholars across the social sciences and humanities with interests
in the emotions and love as a social and political phenomenon.
