Everyday Friendships

Intimacy as Freedom in a Complex World

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book conceptualises the lived experience of intimacy in a world in which the terms and conditions of love and friendship are increasingly unclear. It shows that the analysis of the 'small world' of dyads can give important clues about society and its gendered makeup.
