Featherstone, M. (1998). Love and eroticism: An introduction. Theory, culture & society, 15(3-4), 1-18.

This substantial collection of chapters presented in this volume investigates the contentious nature of love and eroticism, focusing on how erotic bodily pleasures have become crucial to modern consumer culture. It examines the spatial dimension of erotic life through considerations of Bohemian love, the gay city, and the ways in which the urban landscape and everyday life have become sexualized – issues that have become central to the emergence of ‘queer’ as a new form of gender politics and broader questions of sexual citizenship.

This book draws on the work of feminists, sociologists, and cultural theorists to provide a comprehensive and accessible collection of modern contributions to discussions on sexuality, love, and eroticism.
