LGBTQ+ Intimacies in Southern Europe

This Open Access book argues that Southern European countries offer valuable, though historically overlooked, knowledge regarding intimate citizenship. Guided by the fundamental sociological question of how change takes place and, concomitantly, how law and social policy adjust to and/or shape the practices and expectations of individuals in the sphere of intimacy, this edited volume explores partnering, parenting and friendship issues from the perspective of lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans and queer people in Italy, Portugal and Spain. Chapters offer a cross-national understanding of the relationship between everyday practices of intimacy amongst LGBTQ people and national legal, political and policy contexts in terms of the recognition of otherwise ‘intimate strangers’. The book contributes to further theoretical and policy debates about citizenship, care and choice, as well as, more broadly, sexuality, welfare, health and justice. This book will be of interest to scholars across Gender and Feminist Studies as well as Citizenship Studies, Law, Policy, and Politics.

Creative Families

This edited collection brings together two strands of current discussions in gender research through the concept of creativity. First, it addresses creativity in the context of the family, by exploring changing and newly emergent family forms and ways of creating and maintaining intimate relationships. Creativity here is understood not as just “newness or originality,” but as that which, in the words of Eisler and Montouri (2007), “supports, nurtures, and actualizes life by increasing the number of choices open to individuals and communities.” One aim of this book, therefore, is to investigate the social, collaborative, and creative interactions in contemporary family and kin formati...

La monogamia ha un ruolo centrale nella storia occidentale, ed è intorno a questa che si sono sviluppati concetti portanti come amore, relazioni, famiglia. Questo libro riflette proprio su come molti dei meccanismi che pensiamo legati all’amore non siano altro che forme imposte, non determinate liberamente e tuttavia intimamente radicate nella società e in ciascun individuo. Capiamo così che intorno alla monogamia si sono formati anche i nostri concetti di Stato, di nazione, di identità, tutti rapporti fondati, in scala più o meno grande, sull'esclusività, sul possesso e sulle gerarchie. Ma non è tutto: alla critica del pensiero monogamo l'autrice, con lunga esperienza nell'attivismo poliamoroso, non risparmia una profonda critica diretta proprio al poliamore: un approccio che, nella prospettiva di questo libro, non riesce ancora a evitare di riprodurre forme di pensiero monogamo. Vasallo, facendo breccia in uno dei pilastri più solidi di tutta la storia occidentale, ci mostra le possibilità di un approccio diverso per un mondo diverso, per una radicale rivoluzione nelle relazioni, che siano erotiche, familiari o comunitarie.

Del amor puede hablarse de muchas formas, y probablemente no hay ninguna que alcance a explicarlo por entero. En este libro, Mireia Sallarès hace una tentativa de aproximación, una investigación, a este concepto para desvelar su realidad poliédrica y su eventual poder subversivo. En él no encontraremos teoría. El amor se halla en las relaciones con los otros, puede expresarse tanto en el hecho de confeccionar un diccionario tanto como en el de organizar turnos de comedor; tiene una geografía y una ideología; es esencialmente nómada y en muchas ocasiones actúa como fuerza primordial. El amor, la verdad y el trabajo han vertebrado la «Trilogía de los conceptos basura», a la que Mireia Sallarès ha dedicado los últimos años. Este ensayo es solo un modo de desplegarla.

Discussions of French 'identity' have frequently emphasised the importance of a highly centralised Republican model inherited from the Revolution. In reality, however, France also has a rich heritage of diversity that has often found expression in contingent sub-cultures marked by marginalisation and otherness - whether social, religious, gendered, sexual, linguistic or ethnic. This range of sub-cultures and variety of ways of thinking the 'other' underlines the fact that 'norms' can only exist by the concomitant existence of difference(s). The essays in this collection, which derive from the conference 'Alienation and Alterity: Otherness in Modern and Contemporary Francophone Contexts', held at the University of Exeter in September 2007, explore various aspects of this diversity in French and Francophone literature, culture, and cinema from the nineteenth to the twenty-first century. The contributions demonstrate that while alienation (from a cultural 'norm' and also from oneself) can certainly be painful and problematic, it is also a privileged position which allows the 'étranger' to consider the world and his/her relationship to it in an 'other' way.

De l'amor se'n pot parlar de moltes maneres, i possiblement no n'hi ha cap que abasti tota la seva magnitud. En aquest llibre, Mireia Sallarès fa un exercici d'aproximació, una investigació sobre aquest concepte per desvetllar-ne la realitat polièdrica i el potencial subversiu. No hi trobarem teoria. L'amor és en les relacions amb els altres, pot expressar-se en el fet de confeccionar un diccionari o de muntar torns de menjador; té una geografia i una ideologia; és essencialment nòmada i actua com a força primordial. L'amor, la veritat i el treball han vertebrat la "Trilogia dels conceptes deixalla" a la qual Mireia Sallarès ha dedicat els darrers anys, i aquest assaig és només una possibilitat de desplegar-la.
