The Transformation of Intimacy by Anthony Giddens (Farsi)

Description

"The Transformation of Intimacy: Sexuality, Love, and Eroticism in Modern Societies" by Anthony Giddens explores how personal relationships and intimacy have changed in modern societies. Giddens introduces the concepts of "plastic sexuality" and "pure relationships." Plastic sexuality is liberated from reproductive and social constraints, focusing on personal pleasure and sexual identity. Pure relationships are based on mutual satisfaction, emotional fulfillment, and equality, contrasting with traditional relationships built on duty and obligation. Giddens discusses the democratization of personal life, where individuals have more freedom to choose partners and define relationships. This shift fosters gender equality and reflexivity, with people continuously evaluating their relationships.
