The Tenacity of the Couple-Norm explores the ongoing strength and insidious grip of couple-normativity across changing landscapes of law, policy and everyday life in four contrasting national contexts: the UK, Bulgaria, Norway and Portugal.By investigating how the couple-norm is lived and experienced, how it has changed over time, and how it varies between places and social groups, this book provides a detailed analysis of changing intimate citizenship regimes in Europe, and makes a major intervention in understandings of the contemporary condition of personal life. The authors develop the feminist concept of 'intimate citizenship' and propose the new concept of 'intimate citizenship regime', offering a study of intimate citizenship regimes as normative systems that have been undergoing profound change in recent decades. Against the backdrop of processes of de-patriarchalization, liberalization, pluralization and homonormalization, the ongoing potency of the couple-norm becomes ever clearer.The authors provide an analysis of how the couple-form is institutionalized, supported and mandated by legal regulations, social policies and everyday practices, and how this serves to shape the intimate life choices and trajectories of those who seem to be living aslant to the conventional heterosexual cohabiting couple-form. Attending also to practices and moments that challenge couple-normativity, both consciously chosen and explicit, as well as circumstantial, subconscious and implicit, The Tenacity of the Couple-Norm makes an important contribution to literatures on citizenship, intimacy, family life, and social change in sociology, social policy, socio-legal studies, gender/sexuality/queer studies and psychosocial studies.

Généralement rapporté dans la littérature ethnologique aux particularités anatomiques des sexes masculin et féminin, le système numérique symbolique associant respectivement les nombres 3 et à l'homme et à la femme, qui prévaut dans la majeure partie de l'Ouest africain, est ici pensé dans des termes nouveaux et soumis à une analyse sociologique. À partir de matériaux recueillis dans la société bisa (Burkina Paso), l'auteur tente de dégager le sens et la fonction de ce symbolisme, en montrant la cohérence qu'il entretient avec les représentations de la personne (l'une part, et avec les espaces sociaux qui la définissent à travers les règles de résidence d'autre part). Cet article suggère en particulier que lu discours dont ce symbolisme est porteur tend à fonder les rapports sociaux de sexe et à légitimer la domination masculine. Sylvie FAINZANG, The Sexes and their Numbers. The Meaning and Function of 3 and 4 in a Burkinabe Society. - The author analyzes in sociological terms the widespread West-African tendency to associate the numbers 3 and with man and woman respectively, practice usually attributed to certain aspects of male and female anatomy An analysis of Bisa society (Burkina Faso) shows how the meaning and function of this symbolism are directly related to representations of the person on the one hand, and to social space as defined by residence rules on the other. The author suggests that the discourse implied by this symbolism serves to found social relations between the sexes and to legitimize male domination. Sylvie FAINZANG, Los Sexes y sus nombres. Sentido y función del 3 y et 4 en una sociedad burkinabesa. - El sistcma numérico y simbólico asociado respectivamente a los números 3 y 4 al hombre y la mujer, prevalece en la gran mayoria del Africa occidental y es generalmente relatado en la literatura etuológica a las particularidades del sexo masculino y femcnino Este sistema es pensado en este artículo en términos nuevos y sumetido a un análisís sociológico. A partir de material recogido en la sociedad bisa (Burkina Faso), el autor intenta despejar e1 sentido y la función de este simbolismo, mostrando la coherencia que ella contiene con las represeotaciones de la persona pur un lado, y con los espacios sociales que la definen a través de las reglas de residencia por otro lado. Este artículo demuestra en particular que cl discurso cuyo simbolismo es portador, tiende a fundar las relaciones sociales del sexo y a legitimizar la dominación masculina.

"Covering the historical, social, political, and cultural contexts, The Bloomsbury Research Handbook of Chinese Philosophy and Gender presents a comprehensive overview of the complexity of gender disparity in Chinese thought and culture. Divided into four main sections, an international group of experts in Chinese Studies write on Confucian, Daoist and Buddhist approaches to gender relations. Each section includes a general introduction, a set of authoritative articles written by leading scholars and comprehensive bibliographies, designed to provide the non-specialist with a practical and broad overview. Beginning with the Ancient and Medieval period before moving on to Modern and Contemporary approaches, specially commissioned chapters include Pre-Qin canonical texts, women in early Chinese ethics, the yin-yang gender dynamic and the Buddhist understanding of the conception of gender. Considering why the philosophy of women and gender dynamics in Chinese thought is rarely confronted, The Bloomsbury Research Handbook of Chinese Philosophy and Gender is a pioneering cross-disciplinary introduction to Chinese philosophy's intersection with gender studies. By bridging the fields of Chinese philosophy, religion, intellectual history, feminism, and gender studies, this cutting-edge volume fills a great need in the current literature on Chinese philosophy and provides student and scholars with an invaluable research resource to a growing field."--Bloomsbury Publishing.
