Description
The Politics of Love explores the entanglement of emotions, social movements, and science in reconfiguring human and nonhuman relations.
As Darwin's evolutionary theory informed the development of sexual science and the sex reform movement between the 1890s and the 1920s, sex reformers emerged as a group of diverse and culturally influential professionals. This group included doctors, psychologists, artists, political activists, novelists, and academics, all sharing a profound commitment to changing the world by changing the practice of sex.
Sex reformers reinvented love as a scientific practice of sex that brought humans and nonhumans into the fold of early-twentieth-century racial, gender, and sexual politics.
Carla Christina Hustak illuminates how sex reformers' insistence that love can shift human and nonhuman relations is more than just a historical narrative—it's a moment in time interconnected with urgent contemporary concerns over the global implications of our emotional relationships to other humans, animals, the earth, and atmospheric and technological forces.
