The Politics of Love

My work examines technologies developed as relational substitutes. While this is celebrated as some as progress it is the result of relational violence that gives rise to a global attachment crisis. Given the choice that capitalism provides, many are opting out of relationships. 

My work examines this crisis in human attachment with each other, towards non-human animals and the environment and the perpetuation of “property relations” – the desire to turn everything into property.

As I argue in my new book Sex Robots: The End of Love, property relations includes every economic, political, ethical and cultural system where people and things are interchangeable. Property relations could not exist without the relational violence between people that permits it to exist and thrive producing the Politics of Dissociation.

If we want to develop a different future there is only one option built on I-you attachment.

The only chance we have as a human species before we destroy each other, the lives of animals and the environment and this is to build the Politics of Love.
