Title
The End Of Love: A Sociology Of Negative Relations
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
Western Culture Has Endlessly Represented The Ways In Which Love Miraculously Erupts In Peoples Lives, The Mythical Moment In Which One Knows Someone Is Destined For Us, The Feverish Waiting For A Phone Call Or An Email, The Thrill That Runs Down Our Spine At The Mere Thought Of Him Or Her. Yet, A Culture That Has So Much To Say About Love Is Virtually Silent On The No Less Mysterious Moments When We Avoid Falling In Love, Where We Fall Out Of Love, When The One Who Kept Us Awake At Night Now Leaves Us Indifferent, Or When We Hurry Away From Those Who Excited Us A Few Months Or Even A Few Hours Before.In The End Of Love, Eva Illouz Documents The Multifarious Ways In Which Relationships End. She Argues That If Modern Love Was Once Marked By The Freedom To Enter Sexual And Emotional Bonds According To Ones Will And Choice, Contemporary Love Has Now Become Characterized By Practices Of Nonchoice, The Freedom To Withdraw From Relationships. Illouz Dubs This Process By Which Relationships Fade, Evaporate, Dissolve, And Break Down Unloving. While Sociology Has Classically Focused On The Formation Of Social Bonds, The End Of Love Makes A Powerful Case For Studying Why And How Social Bonds Collapse And Dissolve.Particularly Striking Is The Role That Capitalism Plays In Practices Of Nonchoice And Unloving. The Unmaking Of Social Bonds, She Argues, Is Connected To Contemporary Capitalism Which Is Characterized By Practices Of Noncommitment And Nonchoice, Practices That Enable The Quick Withdrawal From A Transaction And The Quick Realignment Of Prices And The Breaking Of Loyalties. Unloving And Nonchoice Have In Turn A Profound Impact On Society And Economics As They Explain Why People May Be Having Fewer Children, Increasingly Living Alone, And Having Less Sex.The End Of Love Presents A Profound And Original Analysis Of The Effects Of Capitalism And Consumer Culture On Personal Relationships And Of What The Dissolution Of Personal Relationships Means For Capitalism.
