Raising to the challenge of how to grasp such forms of inequalities
that are mediated affectively, Affective Inequalities in Intimate
Relationships focuses on subtle inequalities that are shaped in
everyday affective encounters. It also seeks to bridge a gap
between affect theory and empirical social research by providing
ideas and inspiration of how to work with affect in research
practice. Presenting cutting-edge empirical studies on affect and
intimate relationships, the collection - introduces alternative and
novel ways of conceptualizing the workings of affect in intimate
relationships - provides tools for tackling the subtle ways in
which affectivity connects with power relations in intimate
relations - develops innovative methodologies that provide better
access to affect as an embodied experience A fascinating
contribution to the interdisciplinary field of affect studies,
Affective Inequalities in Intimate Relationships will appeal to
advanced undergraduates and postgraduates interested in fields such
as gender studies, queer studies and cultural studies.

This volume provides a novel platform to re-evaluate the notion of
open-ended intimacies through the lens of affect theories.
Contributors address the embodied, affective and psychic, sensorial
and embodied aspects of their ongoing intimate entanglements across
various timely phenomena. This fascinating collection asks how the
study of affect enables us to rethink intimacies, what affect
theories can do to the prevailing notion of intimacy and how they
renew and enrich theories of intimacy in a manner which also
considers its normative and violent forms. This collection brings
together a selection of original chapters which invite readers to
rethink such concepts as care, closeness and connectivity through
the notion of affective intimacies. Based on rigorous research, it
offers novel insights on a variety of themes from austerity culture
to online discussions on regretting motherhood, from anti-ableist
notions of health to teletherapies in the era of COVID-19, and from
queer intimacies to critiques of empathy. Lively and
thought-provoking, this collection contributes to timely topics
across the social sciences, representing multiple disciplines from
gender studies, sociology and cultural studies to anthropology and
queer studies. By so doing, it advances the value of
interdisciplinary perspectives and creative methodologies for
understanding affective intimacies. -- .
Using a cross-cultural perspective, The Everyday Makings of
Heteronormativity: Cross-Cultural Explorations of Sex, Gender, and
Sexuality examines the conceptual formulation of heteronormativity
and highlights the mundane operations of its construction in
diverse contexts. Heterosexual culture simultaneously
institutionalizes its narrations and normalcies, operating in a way
that preserves its own coherency. Heteronormativity gains its
privileges and coherency through public operations and the
mutuality of the public and private spheres. The contributors to
this edited collection examine this coherency and privilege and
explore in ethnographic detail the operations and making of
heteronormative devices: material, affective, narrative, spatial,
and bodily. This book is recommended for students and scholars of
anthropology, sociology, and gender and sexuality studies.
With a cross-cultural perspective, the essays in The Everyday
Makings of Heteronormativity examine the consistent constructing of
heteronormativity as a way to contribute to the conceptual
formulation of the term, bring forward the mundane operations of it
in diverse contexts, and establish heteronormativity as the focus
of an ethnographic lens. Heterosexual culture simultaneously
institutionalizes its narrations and normalcies, so that it
operates in a way towards preserving its own coherency.
Heteronormativity gains its privileges and coherency through public
operations, and the mutuality of public and private. The chapters
in this volume examine this coherency and privilege, to explore in
ethnographic detail the operations and making of heteronormative
devices: material, affective, narrative, spatial and bodily.
