Inside the American Couple
One of the most fundamental human urges is to form a pair. Despite many tendencies that threaten traditional marriage and even make committed cohabitation problematic, very few people live through adulthood without at least one lengthy relationship, and up to ninety percent of Americans marry at least once in their lives. This pioneering volume draws attention to issues that question the unspoken traditional practices underlying coupling in America. In it, some of today's most innovative feminist scholars consider the dramatic changes couples have experienced over the past fifty years, such as the proliferation of divorce, the increase in ethnically-mixed relationships, the preponderance of ...

Inside the American Couple
"By interrogating rather than accepting traditional platitudes about our need to be coupled, this vital and original collection both broadens our understanding of what constitutes a couple and deepens our appreciation for the human needs that coupling meets."—Michael S.

Reassuring and enlightening, Inside the American Couple is essential reading for anyone concerned with joining in partnership and love with another human being."—Rebecca Walker, author of Black, White and Jewish: Autobiography of a Shifting Self

These short impressions give us the sights, smells, sounds, and tastes of m...

Denunciare per scegliere
È possibile parlare di autonomia nelle relazioni sentimentali nella Sicilia del tardo Medioevo? Questa è la prima ricerca sul tema del matrimonio e delle relazioni illecite nella diocesi catanese tra fine Trecento e fine Cinquecento, considerata in prospettiva comparativa sia con altre zone dell’isola, sia con aree esterne ad essa. Lo studio del contesto siciliano arricchisce il dibattito storiografico sulla formazione della coppia e sui legami tra affetti, comportamenti sessuali e politiche di controllo promosse dalle autorità ecclesiastiche e laiche. Scelte frustrate e compiute, paure e denunce, strategie di disciplinamento e rifiuti costituiscono il groviglio che qui si dipana. L’a...
