Consuming the Romantic Utopia

Love and the Cultural Contradictions of Capitalism

Eva Illouz

SOCIETY & SOCIAL SCIENCES
43
A study of American love in the twentieth century that unravels the mass of images that define our ideas of love and romance, revealing that the experience of 'true' love is deeply embedded in the experience of consumer capitalism. It studies how individual conceptions of love overlap with the world of cliches and images.
