Course content:
The course will focus on the sociology of love and sexuality. It argues that love is a very good point of entry to analyze the key concept of modernity. It shows that some of the key phenomena of modernity – human rights and capitalism—took place within the sphere of the intimate and have profoundly transformed its meaning. The course examines the importance of the ideal of freedom and equality in changing gender relationships and the impact of capitalism in patterns of courtship.
