Description
In "Desire/Love," Lauren Berlant offers a sharp, critical examination of the complex relationship between desire and love in contemporary culture. Berlant interrogates the conventional notions of romantic love, exploring how they are constructed, idealized, and often destabilized within personal relationships and societal expectations. She challenges the sentimental education that teaches individuals to view love as a redemptive and transformative force, arguing instead that love frequently operates through structures of fantasy, attachment, and power that can lead to disappointment, dependency, and emotional impasse. Through her incisive and accessible prose, Berlant draws on a wide range of cultural texts—literature, film, and social theory—to reveal how desire and love are deeply entangled with broader social forces, including gender norms, capitalist ideologies, and political structures. She questions the cultural investment in romantic love as a universal human experience and suggests that our attachments are often driven by desires that are contradictory, unresolved, and shaped by fantasy. "Desire/Love" is part of Berlant’s broader project of understanding intimacy and affect in modern life, making this book a concise yet profound reflection on the complexities of human attachment and emotional life in the twenty-first century.
