They Call It Love : The Politics of Emotional Life

They Call It Love investigates the work that makes a haven in a heartless world, examining who performs this labour, how it is organised, and how it might change. Drawing on the thought of the feminist movement Wages for Housework, Gotby demonstrates that emotion is a key element in the reproduction of society and its norms. Addressing the problem of love's labour requires nothing less than a radical restructuring of society.Author: Gotby, Alva,author Contributors: Gotby, Alva,author Binding: paperback Number Of Pages: 192 Publication Date: Release Date: Languages: English,Published,English,Original Language,Englis Published/Release Date: 6 Feb 2024 Format: Paperback / softback Publisher/Studio/Brand: Verso Books Author/Director/Artist: Alva Gotby Dimension (cm): 197x129x13 mm Package Dimension (cm): 32x332x240 mm Item Weight (g): 1050 Package Weight (g): 170
