In \u003cem\u003eLove’s Refraction\u003c\/em\u003e, Jillian Deri explores the distinctive question of how and why polyamorists – people who practice consensual non-monogamy – manage jealousy. Her focus is on the polyamorist concept of “compersion” – taking pleasure in a lover’s other romantic and sexual encounters.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eBy discussing the experiences of queer, lesbian, and bisexual polyamorous women, Deri highlights the social and structural context that surrounds jealousy. Her analysis, making use of the sociology of emotion and feminist intersectionality theory, shows how polyamory challenges traditional emotional and sexual norms.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eClear and concise, \u003cem\u003eLove’s Refraction\u003c\/em\u003e speaks to both the academic and the polyamorous community. Deri lets her interviewees speak for themselves, linking academic theory and personal experiences in a sophisticated, engaging, and accessible way.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eAcknowledgments \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1 But Don’t You Get Jealous?\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e2 Polyagony: An Exploration of Jealousy\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e3 If You Move to the Rainforest, You’ve Got No Right to Complain about the Rain: From Polyagony to\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e4 Once You Say, “I’m Poly,” It Kind of Eliminates the Need for the Feminist Part: Gender, Jealousy, and Polyamory\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e5 Jealousy Can Be Hot if You Flip It: Working and Playing with Power\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e6 Polyamory’s Legacy: Concluding Remarks\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eWorks Cited\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eIndex\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"University of Toronto Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52520895349016,"sku":"9781442628694","price":19.39,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/loves-refraction-jealousy-and-compersion-in-queer-womens-polyamorous-relationships-paperback-softback-9781442628694","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
