Описание: 1. Cross-cultural comparison of love concepts and their cultural connotations
Several types of love are to be distinguished for adequate cross-cultural comparison of love. Passion is a salient feature of romantic love, but not the only one. Romantic love engages strong affection and preoccupation with love, idealistic attitude toward a partner and relationship. Is romantic love universal across cultures? Some scholars once believed that romantic love is a Western concept that was not indigenously present in other cultures and was brought by Western civilizations. However, the research findings of recent decades convinced that romantic love - at least passionate love - is a universal phenomenon with its various occurrences in many cultures. Cross-culturally, conceptions of passionate love appear to be surprisingly similar, yet with evident culturally specific definitions of romantic love. Culture is what transforms passionate love into romantic love. Cultural values and traditional behaviors influence the expressions and experiences of love and transfer passionate love as primarily based on a sexual attraction into romantic love as idealized and culturally affected way of loving. Theoretical background and interdisciplinary approach to the concept of romantic love will be set up in this chapter.
2. Evolutional or cultural?
This chapter compares an evolutional approach to study of love with a cultural one. Evolutionary psychologists contend that passionate love is innate in human nature and is based on biological processes that are universal, applying to people of all cultures. Neuroscience provides strong evidence of this. Does culture still matter? Biology and culture interact generating a complex nature of love. Passion is universal and based on biological principles of sexual selection, while romance is culturally specific and based on historical and cultural traditions.
3. Love experiences and love expressions: Cross-cultural comparison
Multiple studies convince that love is a universal human emotion that can be experienced and expressed in multiple cultural forms. The world's cultures differ in several cross-culturally related concepts: collectivism or individualism, independence or interdependence, modernism or traditionalism, urbanism or ruralism, affluence or poverty. The studies show that these factors affect the cultural differences in experience and expression of romantic love. What about expressions of love? Does a passionate and energetic Latin lover love more intensely than a quiet and reserved Nordic lover? Or do they just express their emotions differently? American culture, for example, stresses the importance of verbal expression of love to another. However, straight expression of love is not always necessary because some things can be implicitly interpreted and understood without words. In Filipino families, for example, the verbal expression of love is much more reserved for special occasions. They do not find it essential to express love in overt ways because it can be construed as excessive and showy. The chapter will present a variety of research findings supporting the diverse expressions of love.
4. Cultural factors affecting romantic attraction, development, maintenance, and dissolution of love
This chapter will review cultural factors influencing interpersonal attraction (including personality, context, and values) and cultural mediators of attraction, development, maintenance, and dissolution of a romantic relationship (including issues of intimacy, fidelity/infidelity, poaching, and jealousy). How culture affects relations between love, sex, and marriage? Romantic love is the form of love that is most salient in public view. It has different subcategories; some of them are related to sexual love. Sexuality a

Описание: This edited collection takes a critical perspective on Norbert Elias’s theory of the "civilizing process," through historical essays and contemporary analysis from sociologists and cultural theorists. It focuses on changes in emotional regimes or styles and considers the intersection of emotions and social change, historically and contemporaneously. The book is set in the context of increasing interest among humanities and social science scholars in reconsidering the significance of emotion and affect in society, and the development of empirical research and theorizing around these subjects. Some have labeled this interest as an "affective turn" or a "turn to affect," which suggests a profound and wide-ranging reshaping of disciplines. Building upon complex theoretical models of emotions and social change, the chapters exemplify this shift in analysis of emotions and affect, and suggest different approaches to investigation which may help to shape the direction of sociological and historical thinking and research.
Popular interest in body image issues has grown dramatically in recent years, due to an emphasis on individual responsibility and self-determination in contemporary society as well as the seemingly limitless capacities of modern medicine; however body image as a separate field of academic inquiry is still relatively young. The contributors of Body Image and Identity in Contemporary Societies explore the complex social, political and aesthetic interconnections between body image and identity. It is an in-depth study that allows for new perspectives in the analysis of contemporary visual art and literature but also reflects on how these social constructs inform clinical treatment.
Sukhanova and Thomashoff bring together contributions from psychoanalysts, psychotherapists, psychiatrists and scholars in the fields of the social sciences and the humanities to explore representations of the body in literature and the arts across different times and cultures. The chapters analyse the social construction of the 'ideal' body in terms of beauty, gender, sexuality, race, ethnicity, class and disability, from a broadly psychoanalytic perspective, and traces the mechanisms which define the role of the physical appearance in the formation of identity and the assumption of social roles.
Body Image and Identity in Contemporary Societies' unique interdisciplinary outlook aims to bridge the current gap between clinical observations and research in semiotic theory. It will be of interest to psychoanalysts, psychotherapists, art therapists, art theorists, academics in the humanities and social sciences, and those interested in an interdisciplinary approach to the issues of body image and identity.
Ekaterina Sukhanova is University Director of Academic Program Review at the City University of New York USA. She serves as Scientific Secretary of the Section for Art and Psychiatry and the Section of Art and Psychiatry of the World Psychiatric Association. She is also engaged in interdisciplinary research on cultural constructs of mental health and illness and curates exhibits of art brut as a vehicle for fighting stigma.
Hans-Otto Thomashoff was born in Germany and lives in Vienna. He is a psychiatrist, psychoanalyst, art historian and author of fiction and non-fiction books. He has been curator of several art exhibitions highlighting the connection between the psyche and art as well as president of the section of Art and Psychiatry of the World Psychiatric Association and advisory committee member of the Sigmund Freud Foundation, Vienna.
