Love is a dominant theme in Western popular culture. It has become
central to the meaning of everyday life, propagated through the
media and the market. Being in love has become idealised. With the
demise of institutional religion in the West, romantic love has
become the dominant form of inner-worldly salvation. In Foucault's
terms, it has become a key component in the 'arts of existence' and
the care of self. In this highly accessible introduction to love of
all kinds, Tom Inglis gives a clear, concise picture of how love
shapes, and is shaped by, society. How is romantic love linked to
capitalism? What is the difference between romantic love and
loving? How is love connected to separation, loss and grief? Inglis
addresses all these questions, and looks at how today's changing
circumstances - globalisation, mobile lives and a new rugged
individualism - have changed our perceptions of love and
relationships. Love is an engaging, thoughtful introduction to the
subject for students, academics and general readers alike.
