BOOK - Our radical loves

Greedily sought after, fantasized, desired against all odds, romantic spaces have always been presented as the absolute finality of what one can expect from a relationship with the other. The injunction to the couple and the social pressure that surrounds it dictate the way we live with others ... and with ourselves. Considered in our society as the fast track to happiness, amorous love is still too little questioned, too little rethought, especially through the prism of social and feminist advances in recent years. And if one willingly casts a tender eye on these spaces of love, they are also fertile grounds for the reproduction of patterns of patriarchal domination. Is loving love the only one that matters? Are heterosexual couples and feminism compatible? What is the weight of social or racial inequalities on the couple? What does our way of being with others mean about us? How can we build our intimate relationships by following the principles of fairness, which have not yet been acquired in the society in which we operate? These are all questions that the authors of the book ask themselves. Whether they are activists, authors, social workers or content creators, they are all feminists and engaged in a process of deconstruction of the place that love in love can have in our society. company. They thus deliver tender, incisive and radical reflections, offering us another vision of love, towards oneself and towards others: love as a militant, emancipatory act, and already synonymous with revolution.
