“…The second approach involves a wholehearted embrace of any and all interpretations and manifestations of love. Here, love can be a condition as well as an emotion (or rather: a range of emotions -from passion to desire and lust, including jealousy, anxiety and rage), perhaps even a syndrome (de Sousa, 2015), as well as a source of energy and power (Jónasdóttir, 2011). In the project at hand, I am tempted to follow the second path, aiming to make each instance of 'media love' I find explicit as I move along.…”

“…For sure, this is not just a naive celebration of media love, as the media professionals' passion for the work in part contributes to their exploitation, and people's problematic media use can sometimes lead to addiction or disorder. Yet I do use 'wonder' as an adjective for love deliberately, because I acknowledge the increasingly significant, transformative, creative and altogether powerful role love plays in life, both at the particular level of the individual, when we consider society and its institutions, and more generally when imagining the future of humanity (Jónasdóttir, 2011;Ilouz, 2012;Ferry, 2013). As the lyrics of a famous song from 1965, written by American lyricist Hal David, go: "What the world needs now Is love, sweet love.…”

“…These discourses show the ways that women are tasked with being the container for the emotions of others in both public and private spaces. Gendered analyses of emotional and/ or affective labor are often coextensive with feminist accounts of the exploitation of women's "love labor," "love power," and "sex-affective production" in patriarchal societies (Jónasdóttir 1994;Lynch 2007;Lynch, Baker, and Lyons 2009;Ferguson 2018;Jónasdóttir 2018). Socialist and Marxist feminist scholars in particular have traced the burdensome, disempowering character of women's work of sustaining intimate loving relationships between themselves and men (Ferguson 1989;Bartky 1990;Weeks 2007;Ferguson 2018).…”

Hermeneutic Labor: The Gendered Burden of Interpretation in Intimate Relationships between Women and Men

In recent years, feminist scholarship on emotional labor has proliferated. I identify a related but distinct form of care labor, hermeneutic labor. Hermeneutic labor is the burdensome activity of: understanding and coherently expressing one's own feelings, desires, intentions, and motivations; discerning those of others; and inventing solutions for relational issues arising from interpersonal tensions. I argue that hermeneutic labor disproportionately falls on women's shoulders in heteropatriarchal societies, especially in intimate relationships between women and men. I also suggest that some of the gendered burdens of emotional labor that feminist scholars point out would better be described as hermeneutic labor. Drawing on feminist philosophy as well as findings from social psychology and sociology, I argue that the exploitation of women's hermeneutic labor is a pervasive element of what Sandra Bartky calls the “micropolitics” of intimate relationships. The widespread expectation that women are relationship-maintenance experts, as well as the prevalence of a gendered demand-withdraw pattern of communication, leads an exploitative situation to appear natural or even desirable, even as it leads to women's dissatisfaction. This situation may be considered misogynistic in Kate Manne's sense, where misogyny is a property of social environments rather than a worldview.

“…Anna orðar það svo að ástarhagkerfið sé smaettuð mynd af heiminum þar sem konur megi hafa áhrif en ekki völd, og réttindi sem manneskjur en ekki sem konur. 13 Kenning hennar er sú að til að ná framförum í átt til kynjajafnréttis verði að rannsaka ástarsamskipti kynjanna ekki síður, og jafnvel frekar, en efnahagsleg og félagsleg samskipti þeirra þar sem það samskiptamynstur sem hefur yfirhöndina í dag gangi út á að konur gefi körlum ástarkraft sinn af fúsum og frjálsum vilja og þar með nýtist hann ekki þeim sjálfum. 14 Á ástarmarkaðnum, þar sem karlar og konur maetast til að skiptast á ást og velja sér maka, kemur í ljós að konur gefa meira en þaer fá og taka ábyrgð á samskiptunum, hvort sem þaer eru gerendur eða ekki.…”

Í greininni er fjallað um hugmyndina um rómantíska ást eins og hún birtist í vestrænni menningu frá því á fyrri hluta tuttugustu aldar og til okkar daga. Spurt er hvort þróun hennar tengist auknu pólitísku og félagslegu valdi kvenna á tuttugustu öld og þeirri röskun sem í kjölfarið varð á valdajafnvægi kynjanna. Hugmyndin um vald rómantískrar ástar er rótgróin í menningu vestrænna samfélaga þar sem hún hefur lengi verið táknmynd frelsis en er í dag notuð til að markaðssetja og selja varning, vörumerki og hugmyndafræði. Rómantísk ást er einnig mikilvægur drifkraftur kynjakerfisins. Þar gengur ástarkraftur kaupum og sölum á markaðstorgi þar sem hallar mjög á annað kynið. Í greininni er sjónum beint að ýmsu dægurefni sem setur ástina og einkum hlutverk kvenna í forgrunn, þar á meðal kvikmyndum og sjónvarpsefni. Efnið er greint með aðferðum orðræðugreiningar og stuðst við kenningar Evu Illouz um hagræn áhrif markaðssetningar á rómantískri ást í ljósi kenninga Horkheimer og Adorno um menningariðnaðinn. Einnig eru tengsl slíkrar markaðssetningar við kenningar Önnu Guðrúnar Jónasdóttur um ástarkraftinn könnuð.
