Beschreibung
This book approaches non-monogamy and mononormativity with a cultural studies sensibility. Drawing on interviews with people in non-monogamous relationships as well as media and political discourse, legal case studies, blogs and self-help texts, it explores how intimate cultures emerge within specific contexts. The way mononormativity appears in contemporary Australian intimate culture is used as an occasion to explore how intimate practices are situated: local institutions, discourses and cultural dynamics shape the way people think about, experience and practice intimate relationships.
