This volume was first published by Inter-Disciplinary Press in 2015. This volume presents interdisciplinary explorations aiming to understand the interaction and interconnection between the concepts of love and gender. Throughout the chapters, the reader can pursue various representations of gender and love and explore how their meanings are produced in different periods and geographies. These representations produce embodied individuals and shared meanings in which gender and love mutually construct each other. As you will see in the following chapters, what we set out to understand, most of the time, was not individual relationships but the relations of power. Thus, these essays show how gender and love are represented in various discourses; produced in knowledge - in philosophy, psychology, literature and popular culture; and regulated by the discursive practices and disciplinary techniques of different societies.
