Description
Undoing Monogamy: A Radical Exploration of Human Nature Angela Willey challenges conventional notions of monogamy in this interdisciplinary exploration of its politics and materiality. By examining colonial sexual science, the biology of monogamous voles, polyamory, and the work of key feminist thinkers, Willey forces us to reconsider our assumptions about human nature and the concept of coupling. Willey's approach is rooted in queer feminist desires for new modes of conceptualization and belonging. She refuses to offer a simplistic alternative to monogamy, instead demanding a critical reorientation towards the monogamy question across disciplines. This book offers a nuanced understanding of the complex relationships between science, culture, and human nature. By challenging dominant narratives about human nature, Willey's work opens up new possibilities for thinking about our relationships and our place in the world.
