Sociologický ústav AV ČR, v.v.i., katedra sociologie Institutu sociologických studií FSV UK a Fakulta humanitních studií UK si Vás dovolují pozvat na podzimní cyklus Čtvrtečních sociologických seminářů.

Recent decades have seen enormous change within the intimate citizenship regimes of European societies, as processes of individualization, de-familialization, gender equalization and hetero-normalization have transformed the legal and policy frameworks governing intimate life. However, against this backdrop, the tenacity and ubiquity of the couple-norm have become increasingly apparent. Drawing on a cross-national study of intimate citizenship in four European countries, this talk offers an anatomy of the couple-norm, opening it up for scrutiny and offering a theorization of its psychosocial workings. 

Sasha Roseneil is Professor of Interdisciplinary Social Science in the Institute for Advanced Studies, and the Dean of the Faculty of Social and Historical Sciences, at University College London. She is also a group analyst and psychoanalytic psychotherapist. The main focus of her research and psychoanalytic practice is in understanding change, and resistance to change. In particular, her research has focused on transformations in gender, sexuality, subjectivity, and intimate life, and on how social movements and collective action produce social, cultural and political change.

The seminar is part of the Private, Civil, and Public SEXUALITIES: XI. International Academic Conference. The visit of prof. Roseneil is financed by the project “Parental desires and intentions of lesbian, gay and bisexual men and women” supported by the Czech Science Foundation (GAČR; No. 18-07456S).
