Definition

  • This entry presents the changing conceptual and social frameworks within which relations of love must now be conceptualized in conditions of cosmopolitanism and globalization. It also explains the emergence of the novel social phenomena of “long-distance love” and “world family” and sets the tasks of social sciences vis-à-vis these novel social relations of intimacy.
