About the Book

Mapping Intimacies: Relations, Exchanges, Affects explores the shifting terrain of intimate life through diverse contemporary studies, asking what is 'exchanged' in relating, what and who is made 'intimate' and how can intimacy be re-mapped, personally and politically? The book engages with a range of issues such as polyamory, sex work, trans partnerships, domestic violence, older LGB caring practices, class distinctions and inequalities, donor conception, STI transmission, women-only spaces, same-sex recognition and migrant families from across the globe including Cambodia, Italy, Portugal, the UK and the Caribbean. It queries, celebrates and critiques the boundaries of current theorizing and offers insights into the nuances of everyday affect, emotion and exchange.

Review :
"Offering a journey through different forms of intimacy, this book offers a great read for understanding the arrival and future for the queer citizen. Detailing how the publicity of privacy is lived via polyromanticism, homonationalism, violence, friendships and domesticity and class, this collection of intimate lives offer rare glimpses into relations not usually seen, known or understood." - Beverley Skeggs, Professor of Sociology, Goldsmiths University of London, UK
