This unit examines the representation and practices of intimate relations focusing especially on the intersection between intimacy and the constructions of gender. Divided into three sections, the unit will examine theories of love and friendship, contemporary cultural representations of love, desire and friendship (especially in film and literature), and the ethics and politics of erotics. It will question the division between erotic love and Platonic love, examine the new technologies of erotics, and discuss the implications for gender and sexuality.
This unit is available as a designated 'Advanced' unit for students who are already enrolled in the BA (Advanced) degree program.
