Georg Simmel once said that the opposite of love isn’t hate, but indifference. While cultural sociologist Eva Illouz’s new book might help us understand what Simmel meant, the publisher’s blurb suggests more materialist insights: “This book does to love what Marx did to commodities: it shows that it is shaped by social relations and institutions and that it circulates in a marketplace of unequal actors.”

yet I still want to hear more about the banner .Simmel and faoishn.As a critique of Simmel and the binary nature of high concept of duality, could explore pop mags such as People's feature who wore it better or the television segment celebrity or streetwalker? with Joan Rivers, et al (Kelly Osborne, and I can't think who else). I just think your banner shows one side of Simmel's point the high end side but of popular faoishn.
