Victor Karandashev: Cultural Typologies of Love, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

This timely volume offers an integrative approach and a culturally diverse view of love conceptions, experiences, and expressions, building on both individual and cultural typologies of love. It comprehensively presents cultural and cross-cultural studies on how culture affects love, and offers a systematic description of types and cultural models of love. The comprehensive reviews of methodology and findings provide a solid empirical basis for the creation of formal typologies.

Cultural conceptions of love and methods for their research
Multiple perspectives in the studies of love across world cultures
