| Description: |
As intimate lives become more public, and discussions of gender and sexuality more complex, there is a need to rethink how we engage with our own perceptions and identifications with respect to intimacy. This book explores whether our intimate desires are limited by social norms and expectations, and if so what we might be able to do about it. |
| Synopsis: |
To what extent are contemporary relationships shaped and limited by the social and legal discourses surrounding them? Are people becoming freer to live the lives they desire or are they manipulated subtly into these very desires? Might the insights gained through exploration of intimate partnerships, as they are currently being lived and negotiated, transform how we perceive gender, sexuality and intimacy? Do we need to think differently about how we come to be who we are, and thereby rethink how we relate to ourselves and others? These are just some of the questions that this book addresses in considering the narratives of trans people and their partners and in proposing 'the ethics of intimacy', or the rethinking of intimate selves in order to increase freedom from domination and governance. |
