Why does love matter? Love and Society discusses the meaning and importance of love for contemporary society. Love is not only an emotion that occurs in our intimate relationships; it is a special emotion that allows us to relate to each other in a lasting fashion, to create out of our individual pasts a shared past, which enables us to project a shared future. Bringing together the idea of Simmel’s second order forms with theories of love, this insightful volume shows that the answer to why love is so central to society can be found in the social transformation of the last two centuries. It also explains how we can build our strongest social bonds on the fragility of an emotions thanks to the creation of "special moments" (love rituals) and "intimate stories" (love myths) that are central to the weaving of lasting social bonds. Going to the cinema, reading a book together or sharing songs are forms of weaving bonds of love and part of the cycle of love. But love is not only shared between two people; the desire and the search for love is something we share with almost all members of society. With rich empirical data, an analysis of love’s transformation in modernity, and a critical engagement with classical and contemporary theorists, this book provides a lively discussion on the meaning and importance of love for today’s society. It will be of interest to undergraduate and postgraduate students and postdoctoral researchers who are interested in fields such as Sociology of Emotions, Sociological Theory and Sociology of Morality.

Building upon the ideas of Illouz (Illouz, 2017b) this practice led research project encompasses a survey of readers and writers of romance fiction which supports the contribution to knowledge. Included in this thesis are textual analyses of romance fiction exploring engagement with feminism and feminist issues. The creative component is a self-reflexive and reflective futuristic science fiction novel, which explores gender and feminism by deliberately applying the motif of romance fiction as a conceptual 'bridge' between the present and the past. The degree to which feminism--the discussion of feminist ideals and issues--has been taken up in romance fiction demonstrates and explains how romance fiction has become increasingly feminist. It is not just the feminist movement itself but upheaval in society caused by changes in the 1970s, 1980s and 1990s which created a 'perfect storm in marriage and family life' (Coontz, 2005, p. 282). Selective aspects of feminism have been co-opted by Western governments and capitalism combined with a cultural focus on love in Western society. Feminism through these vectors promulgates notions of feminist equality in relation to education, employment and how both can increase purchasing power and participation in the economy (McRobbie, 2004, p. 14). Feminism since the 1970s has been part of the romance writers' and readers' habitus. Romance fiction has absorbed and reflected facets of the feminist movement surrounding the depiction of the heroine, her situation in the world and even the perspectives of the hero. This incorporation includes gender politics, the economics of romantic relationships; and changing social views of love, marriage, sex and gender roles. Moreover, these works of fiction written mostly by women for women become culturally valuable historical documents (Auchmuty, 1999, pp. x-xi). This research argues that the ideas of 'romance' and 'feminism' are cojoined twins, providing the habitus for romance writers and their readers.

The central problem, she argues, is that people do not face a single culture, but a diverse one with multiple perspectives and competing experts. American culture speaks of love that is perfect and instantaneous and yet also talks of the constant need to improve relationships. Talk of Love shows how people navigate between these discordant messages and learn to live with these contradictions."--BOOK JACKET.

Meeting a gorgeous guy in a rideshare headed to Lollapalooza is not how Mari expected her Chicago summer to start. She doesn't believe in dating...but TJ may just change her mind. Can an electric, weekend romance turn into more than just a summer fling? When Mari hails a Ryde to a music festival, the last thing she expects is for the car to pick up a gorgeous guy along the way. Mari doesn't believe in dating—it can only end with a broken heart. Besides, she's only staying at her dad's house in Chicago for the weekend. How close can you get to a guy in three days? TJ wants to study art in college, but his family's expectations cast a long shadow over his dreams. When he meets Mari in the back of a rideshare, he feels alive for the first time in a long time. Mari and TJ enter the festival together and share an electric moment but get separated in a crowd with seemingly no way to find each other. When fate reunites them (with a little help from a viral hashtag), they'll have to decide: was it love at first sight, or the start of nothing more than a weekend fling?

Seminar paper from the year 2005 in the subject Sociology - Gender Studies, grade: 2,5, Zeppelin University Friedrichshafen (Departement Cultural & Communication Management), course: Introduction to Cultural Science, 7 entries in the bibliography, language: English, abstract: Love is nothing, but without love everything is nothing. What is this feeling, what makes the hardest men cry, and women get crazy? Mostly love is considered as something unexplainable. Let us try to change that. Maybe you would think: Hey, how unromantic does he has to be, to think that he could explain love? Let me say this: I trust in love and I am assured certainly able to say that I am really romantic. To write about love, you need a childlike believe in love, but on the other hand an emotionless perspective about it. This paper is not eligible for explaining every secret, characteristic or anomaly of love and romance, it wants to give a survey about what love is and on what love depends. The theory based upon the arguments of Berger and Luckmann, that reality is socially constructed by society1, whic h seems to me to be really close to reality, not in all points, but in a lot of. In respect of this theory an unexplainable thing like love could not exist. So let us try to make love explainable, because otherwise a beautiful thing like love could not exist. And even if it is only in a theory this would be a pity, wouldn't it?
