| Synopsis: |
This book builds a fresh perspective on therapeutic narratives of intimate life, based on unprecedented empirical research on self-help books in the UK, the USA and Mexico. Exploring narratives of love, intimacy and marriage across a range of self-help literature, Therapeutic Narratives in Popular Culture reconstructs self-help as a transnational cultural phenomenon, charting the production, circulation, and consumption of self-help books at the international level and analysing transnational flows of therapeutic discourses. With close attention to the cultural and political significance of self-help narratives in relation to the persistent hegemony of neoliberal discourses of personal life in the Western world, this volume provides, for the first time, a rigorous analysis of self-help as a transnational cultural phenomenon. Contributing to debates about therapeutic culture, in part by exploring some of its so-far widely under-researched facets, such as Christian religious-conservative self-help, Therapeutic Narratives in Popular Culture offers significant points of departure from established scholarly narratives about therapeutic culture and the individualisation and fragmentation of intimate life. As such, it will appeal to scholars of cultural studies and the sociology of gender, sexuality, families and personal life. |
