This book unveils the concept of social love as a kind of "Karst River" that flows through the history of sociology, reassessing it as a form criticism by people in everyday life. Adopting an interdisciplinary perspective, this book offers both theoretical and empirical reflections on social love. It shows that love is not only central to the human experience, but that it can also help to interpret and intervene in social problems such as climate change, poverty, xenophobia, and the (post-)Covid crisis, recognizing people as actors in social change. It explores the idea of love as a key element in the promotion of solidarity and recognition in today’s plural and unequal societies. Based on empirical research on social love conducted through both qualitative and quantitative methods, especially in Europe and Latin America, this book explores the social dimension of love. Providing overviews on key questions and studies on current issues, the book is essential reference and resource for researchers, students, social workers, and professionals in social sciences, social philosophy, anthropology, social psychology, sociology of emotions and postmodern literature.

Sensibilities and Emotion on Trans-Globalisation Era

The Pandemic, the wars, the crisis of political institutions, and the expansion of the intensive use of social networks have impacted the elaboration of phantoms and fantasies that emerge from the modifications of the politics of the bodies and politics of emotions: today—what more than never?—the sensibilities are changing on a global scale.Emotions and politics of sensibilities registered in the current process of colonization of the inner planet imply the urgency of relieving the forms that its impacts acquire in the daily life of a global scale that becomes trans-globalization.Trans-globalization is characterized by the modification of three basic features of the structuring processes on a planetary scale: (a) the unnoticed acceptance of the global extension of the banalization of the good, the politics of perversion, and the logic of waste; (b) the return of the question/tension/paradox of sovereignty as a physical device for international mediation of virtual transnational commodification; and (c) the acceleration of the so-called energy transition.

Measuring the Unmeasurable

Social Love in Citizens and Institutions Across the Globe

This book argues that love is not just a fleeting emotion, but rather an action that can bring tangible benefits to people. Its practical approach to love reveals a public dimension that makes love important in a co-governance perspective, as it contributes to citizens’ well-being and institutional guidance.Rooted in the debate of how well-being can be operationalized by integrating classic indicators of progress and wealth with other relational dimensions, this book proposes a new measurement: The World Love Index, a transnational secondary data analysis, measures how much people from different countries care for others and the world. In the current post-pandemic context, marked by conflicts and identity issues, the proposed new index aims to signal the transition toward a new social ecology. It can be considered a complementary of alternative measure to the GDP.The book provides the theoretical framework supporting the usage of the World Love Index and it presents the Index’s results, focusing on the tole of citizens and institutions, and analyzing methods, social capital, and policies such as migration and welfare policies. The volume also identifies open challenges for a more supportive and inclusive world.
