Routledge Love, Heterosexuality and Society - Sociology Book

Explore the complex social dynamics of sexuality with Love, Heterosexuality and Society: Sociological Perspectives on Love and Heterosexuality. Published by Routledge as part of the Routledge Advances in Sociology series, this volume addresses the often unnamed and unexplored practices of heterosexuality. While heterosexuality remains a socially normative force, it is frequently treated as a silent set of identities that lacks deep academic investigation. This research monograph provides a fresh agenda for studying how heterosexuality functions within modern society. By presenting an empirical study on the construction, negotiation, and enactment of heterosexual sexuality, the text offers deep insights into how these identities are formed. Using detailed interview data, the book examines the ways individuals navigate and perform their sexuality in real-world contexts. It is an essential resource for students, researchers, and academics interested in the social construction of human sexuality and the sociological frameworks that define our understanding of identity.
