The Tenacity of the Couple-Norm explores the ongoing strength and insidious grip of
couple-normativity across changing landscapes of law, policy and everyday life in
four contrasting national contexts: the UK, Bulgaria, Norway and Portugal.By investigating
how the couple-norm is lived and experienced, how it has changed over time, and how
it varies between places and social groups, this book provides a detailed analysis
of changing intimate citizenship regimes in Europe, and makes a major intervention
in understandings of the contemporary condition of personal life. The authors develop
the feminist concept of 'intimate citizenship' and propose the new concept of 'intimate
citizenship regime', offering a study of intimate citizenship regimes as normative
systems that have been undergoing profound change in recent decades. Against the backdrop
of processes of de-patriarchalization, liberalization, pluralization and homonormalization,
the ongoing potency of the couple-norm becomes ever clearer.The authors provide an
analysis of how the couple-form is institutionalized, supported and mandated by legal
regulations, social policies and everyday practices, and how this serves to shape
the intimate life choices and trajectories of those who seem to be living aslant to
the conventional heterosexual cohabiting couple-form. Attending also to practices
and moments that challenge couple-normativity, both consciously chosen and explicit,
as well as circumstantial, subconscious and implicit, The Tenacity of the Couple-Norm
makes an important contribution to literatures on citizenship, intimacy, family life,
and social change in sociology, social policy, socio-legal studies, gender/sexuality/queer
studies and psychosocial studies
