Beskrivning
Across thirteen chapters, this collection examines how love takes place. Ranging from the classical to the contemporary, the artistic to the political, the human to the ecological, the contributors consider how love makes, unmakes, and remakes selves, communities and worlds. Resisting the urge to purify love, alive to love’s turbulence, they address the strange new attachments and alliances love makes possible and those it blights and prohibits. To love, to be loved, to speak of love, is a threat as much as it is a promise: the promise and threat of being undone by love. Love and catastrophe are not opposed but entwined.At the heart of the collection is a surprising thesis: that love is always an experiment with distances, with intervals, with spacing. An education in love, an education by love, is a geography lesson.

He is the co-editor, with David Bissell and Mitch Rose, of Negative Geographies: Exploring the Politics of Limits (2021, University of Nebraska Press) and with Ben Anderson, of Taking-Place: Geography and Non-Representational Theories (2010, Routledge). Anna J. Secor is Professor of Human Geography at Durham University. As a cultural, political and feminist geographer, she has written on questions of space, difference, affect, religion and ideology. She is co-author, with Ben Anderson, of The Politics of Feeling: Populism, Progressivism, Liberalism (2025, Goldsmiths University Press), and co-editor of The Routledge Handbook of Cultural Geography (2026), A Place More Void (2021, University of Nebraska Press) and The Wiley Blackwell Companion to Political Geography (2015). Mikko Joronen is Associate Professor of Regional Studies at Tampere University, Finland. His research focuses widely on political geography and geographical theory, particularly at the intersection of ontology, politics, and space. His publications explore various entanglements of power, colonialism, and the materiality of violence, especially in the context of Palestine, with a particular focus on atmospheric violence, bodily vulnerability, and the tempos and temporalities of (de)colonial politics.

Recensioner i media

This timely and intellectually daring collection rethinks love in all its ambivalence—at once destructive and redemptive, intimate and world-making. Refusing easy definitions, it traces love through catastrophe, vulnerability, and political possibility, offering urgent and provocative insights into the affective, political, and planetary conditions of the present.
