        Bordering intimacy

        Postcolonial governance and the policing of family

        by Joe Turner

        Bordering intimacy explores the interconnected role of borders and dominant forms of family intimacy in the governance of postcolonial states. Combining a historical investigation with postcolonial, decolonial and black feminist theory, the book reveals how the border policies of the British and other European empires have been reinvented for the twenty-first century through appeals to protect and sustain 'family life' - appeals that serve to justify and obfuscate the continued organisation of racialised violence. The book examines the continuity of colonial rule in numerous areas of contemporary government, including family visa regimes, the policing of 'sham marriages', counterterror strategies, deprivation of citizenship, policing tactics and integration policy.

        Intimacy and mobility in an era of hardening borders

        Gender, reproduction, regulation

        by Haldis Haukanes, Frances Pine

        This book is a collection of articles by anthropologists and social scientists concerned with gendered labour, care, intimacy and sexuality, in relation to mobility and the hardening of borders in Europe. Interrogating the relation between physical, geopolitical borders and ideological, conceptual boundaries, it offers a range of vivid and original ethnographic case studies that will capture the imagination of anyone interested in gendered migration, policies of inclusion and exclusion, and regulation of reproduction and intimacy. The book presents ethnographic and phenomenological discussions of people's changing lives as they cross borders, how people transgress and reshape moral boundaries of proper gender and kinship behaviour, and moral economies of intimacy and sexuality. It also focuses on migrants' navigation of social and financial services in their destination countries, putting questions about rights and limitations on citizenship at the core.

        Die Liebesgeschichten

        by Hermann Hesse, Volker Michels, Volker Michels

        Ein großer Teil aller Erzählungen Hermann Hesses sind Liebesgeschichten und nahezu jedes zehnte seiner Gedichte ist ein Liebesgedicht. Die meisten der in diesem Band gesammelten Erzählungen, Märchen und Legenden – geschrieben in den Jahren 1900 bis 1924 – sind autobiographisch fundierte Erinnerungen aus der Jugend des Verfassers. Unter ihnen finden sich überraschende Entdeckungen aus den Anfangsjahren des Dichters, zum Beispiel der kleine, um die Jahrhundertwende entstandene Roman Der Dichter. Ein Buch der Sehnsucht, das sich im Nachlaß Hesses befand. Mit den chronologisch angeordneten 29 Texten – darunter Taedium vitae, Der Kavalier auf dem Eise, Heumond, Schön ist die Jugend, Hans Amstein und Piktors Verwandlungen – sind hier nun alle Geschichten Hermann Hesses über die Liebe in ihren unterschiedlichsten Facetten versammelt.

        Über die Liebe

        by Stendhal, Walter Hoyer, Walter Hoyer

        Als Stendhal die Liebe und ihre Geheimnisse ergründen wollte, war er selbst gerade unglücklich verliebt: die Mailänderin Mathilde Dembowskij erhörte ihn nicht. Sein großer Essay Über die Liebe zeigt seine innere Zerrissenheit und zeichnet sich durch die erstaunlichsten, subtilsten Beobachtungen und Betrachtungen aus.

        Affective intimacies

        by Marjo Kolehmainen, Kinneret Lahad, Annukka Lahti

        This volume provides a novel platform to re-evaluate the notion of open-ended intimacies through the lens of affect theories. Contributors address the embodied, affective and psychic, sensorial and embodied aspects of their ongoing intimate entanglements across various timely phenomena. This fascinating collection asks how the study of affect enables us to rethink intimacies, what affect theories can do to the prevailing notion of intimacy and how do they renew and enrich theories of intimacy in a manner which also considers its normative and violent forms. Lively and thought-provoking, this collection contributes to timely topics across the social sciences, representing multiple disciplines from gender studies, sociology and cultural studies to anthropology and queer studies. By so doing, it advances the value of interdisciplinary perspectives and creative methodologies to understanding affective intimacies.
