To the content:
Love is often glorified as the highest ideal. But what, when that ideal is more of a social construct than a universal truth? In this book, Nora Kellner deconstructs the romantic concept of love and shows it, how closely it is intertwined with capitalism and patriarchy. What does that mean for people?, who live outside these norms, for aromantic and asexual people? Which forms of relationships are systematically devalued? And what could alternatives look like?? Of romantic friendships, From queer platonic relationships to self-determined aloneness, this book opens up new perspectives on closeness, intimacy, Belonging and asks the crucial question: What utopias become possible, if we think about love differently?
