More copies of this ISBN:The Bonds of Love: Psychoanalysis, Feminism, & the Problem of Dominationby Jessica Benjamin
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Why do people submit to authority and derive pleasure even others have over them? What is the appeal of domination and submission, and why are they so prevalent in erotic life? Why is it so difficult for men and women to meet as equals? Why, indeed, do hey continue to recapitulate the positions of master and slave? <BR>In The Bonds of Love, noted feminist theorist and psychoanalyst Jessica Benjamin explains why we accept and perpetuate relationships of domination and submission. She reveals that domination is a complex psychological process which ensnares both parties in bonds of complicity, and shows how it underlies our family life, our social institutions, and especially our sexual relations, in spite of our conscious commitment to equality and freedom. Review:"A clear, closely argued study of power and desire, which succeeds in making psychic life a social reality." Richard Sennett, author of The Fall of Public Man "An important book...an amazingly lucid account of the way power all too often becomes intertwined with gender." Ethel Person, New York Times Book Review "Many of us have long admired Jessica Benjamin's intricate rethinking of social theory and psychoanalytic theory. The Bonds of Love gives us Benjamin at her best, and psychoanalytic social theory at its best, as she demonstrates brilliantly the complex intertwining of familial, gender, and social domination."
