Description
Summary:The article, which opens the thematic section on the sociology of intimate couples, offers a theoretical and research program for the studies of intimate life. Its core is the conceptualization of intimate relations as different forms of closeness, love and care embedded in everyday practices. An intimate couple is presented in a relational, not normative, intersectional and processual approach. The article consists of two parts. The first explains why the category of intimate couple is useful in partially replacing and partially complementing such categories as family, individual, and household. The second part focuses on benefits the theory of social practice brings to the research on intimate couples, with the emphasis on silent and habitual knowledge, carnality and emotionality, materiality, symbolism and the context of practices. The presented theoretical and research program that synthesizes the trends from several sociological areas, both practical and theoretical, has been elaborated on the basis of a number of research projects undertaken in Poland.
