Our colleague the postdoctoral fellow Lena Gunnarsson has co-authored with Adriana Garcá-Andrade and Anna G. Jónasdóttir the bok Feminism and the Power of Love: Interdisciplinary Interventions, see here:
“Feminism and the Power of Love is a crucial addition to the rapidly expanding field of Love Studies.Too few books tackle the problematic status of 'love' in feminist theory, but even fewer address the central theme of this book, namely the tension between two indisputable facts: love plays and replays sex and gender relationships of power; but it is also a vital source of human enhancement and energy. Understanding this tension through a variety of disciplines and methodological lenses, this book represents an important advance of feminist theory”. Professor Eva Illouz, author of Why Love Hurts
“Politics, economy, revolution, history: what's love got to do with these? Everything, or so the provocative essays collected in Feminism and the Power of Love claim. Whether you find love a distinctly patriarchal invention or a necessary affect for utopian transformations, the conversations arrayed here will convince you of the value of love studies for contemporary feminist theory”. Professor Robyn Wiegman, Duke University
