Abstract

The Theory of Love: Ideals, Limits, Futures explores stories about intimate life as a resource for creating bonds beyond heterosexual coupledom. The book offers a variety of ethical and imaginative frames through which to understand changing definitions of love, intimacy, and interdependency in the context of struggles for marriage equality and the increasing recognition of post-nuclear forms of kinship and care. In committing to these arrangements, it pushes beyond the false choice between a politics of collective action and the celebration of deeply personal and incommunicable pleasures. Exploring the vicissitudes of love across contemporary philosophy, politics, film, new media, and literature, The Theory of Love: Ideals, Limits, Futures argues for a post-sentimental understanding of the worlds that love is capable of making.
