Reviews

This is a beautifully and eloquently written volume about love and its vicissitudes, particularly as they relate to practices of care and the psychosocial challenges underpinning them. Building on concrete examples that span across a range of spatial, temporal and institutional contexts, the volume offers a truly transdisciplinary account of love, care and their interrelationship. An essential reading for anyone interested in a more capacious and politically ambitious understanding of love and care. * Andreas Chatzidakis, Professor of Marketing and Consumer Culture, Royal Holloway University of London, UK, and member of The Care Collective * As an interdisciplinary study of the emotion 'love', this book offers a rich survey that enables its readers to understand the social, historical, cultural, psychological conditions that surround and shape this emotion as well as this practice. Putting love and care side by side, it provides intriguing analysis of the artistic and literary representations of love. * Mine Özyurt Kiliç, Professor of English Language and Literature, Social Sciences University of Ankara, Turkey * This authoritative edited collection puts the issue of our times – the politics of care – in conversation with a concept that has been criminally under-addressed in social theory – love. In doing so, it makes a wide-ranging set of original interventions across different methodological, disciplinary and transnational contexts. Essays extend across topics as diverse as representations of Indian marriage cultures to the place of love in Brazilian elderly care work. Love and the Politics of Care is set to become an important contribution in this increasingly urgent field of enquiry. * Jamie Hakim, Lecturer in Culture, Media and Creative Industries, King’s College London, UK, and member of The Care Collective * Love and the Politics of Care: Methods, Pedagogies, Institutions presents an interesting and unique set of works that sets a place for love, in all its guises, at the table of humanity. It will undoubtedly appeal to readers who have an interdisciplinary interest in how love and care is personally and professionally represented and situated in the experiences of people’s everyday lives around the globe. * Jools Page, Senior Lecturer, School of Education, University of Brighton, UK *
