Sophie K. Rosa explores in her book Radical Intimacy how, in her view, the capitalist system shapes our intimate lives, and what we could do about it. Through the topics of self-care, romance and sex, family, home, death and friendship, the writer looks at the histories and modern realities of these forms of intimacy, and considers what it might mean for things to be otherwise. From political sex scandals to climate justice, from Britney Spears to communes, from Black Lives Matter to alternatives to the nuclear family, Sophie K. Rosa interrogates common sense ideas about ‘the good life’. What might our desires look like in a better world? And how can care, connection and community support our struggles for liberation?An impassioned discussion about the alternative ways to form relationships and resist capitalism
