"Love and the Politics of Care articulates the concept of love as a new and significant field of interest in studies of the emotions across the arts, social sciences, and humanities. Addressing love within social structures and institutions, such as marriage, education, prison, and the family, among others, this volume explores where those institutional structures inhibit loving practices and what it would take to restore love to such spaces. Talking about love across the humanities and social sciences - including literary studies, sociology, psychology, philosophy, and gender studies - provides a further impetus for renewed investigation of a history of ideas that often encloses itself with the confines of Western philosophy. This interdisciplinary exploration of what love means in the 21st century across five continents incorporates academic writing and original creative work from established and emerging scholars around the globe. The volume looks at the past, present, and future in search of inspiration for transforming and re-charting the pathways of love, seeking a more diverse and emancipatory model of social life."--
