Romantic Codes
Romantic Codes uncovers the hidden languages of love used throughout history, revealing how individuals expressed affection and desire while navigating societal constraints. It explores how coded communication, a form of subterfuge, became essential, particularly during periods like the Victorian era with its strict social etiquette. The book examines diverse forms of these codes, such as floriography (the language of flowers) and secret messages embedded in art, illustrating the lengths people went to convey their feelings. The study of romantic codes isn't merely a historical exploration; it's about understanding human connection. These codes offer a unique perspective on the social and emotional lives of people from the past. Beginning with the psychological underpinnings of coded communication, the book progresses chronologically, exploring various historical periods and geographical regions. Each section analyzes specific examples, their meanings, and social contexts, enriching our understanding of cultural history and language arts.

Love & Eroticism
This major collection explores the contested nature of love and eroticism, examining the ways in which erotic bodily pleasures have become central to contemporary consumer culture. It investigates the spatial dimension of erotic life through considerations of Bohemian love, the gay city and the ways in which the urban landscape and everyday life have become sexualized - issues which have become central to the emergence of `queer′ as a new form of gender politics and more general questions of sexual citizenship. Drawing on the work of feminists, sociologists and cultural theorists, this book contains a wide-ranging and accessible set of contributions to contemporary debates on sexuality, love and eroticism. Love & Eroticism is simultaneously published as volume 15, issue 3-4 of Theory, Culture & Society.
