| Love as an emotion is embedded in daily life: the work to make and renew love’s meanings in our day to day existence, not least in how it takes place through women’s reproductive labour in the care economy. The exchanges entailed in love are often perceived as inconsequential, as romantic love is associated with the feminine. One of the strengths of feminist research has been to admit and encourage freedom to write within subjective positions and therefore validate subjectivities, the relational and affective. The acknowledgement of the legitimacy of the dimension of feeling, including love, is an important consideration against the empiricist tradition which has tended to ignore and negate the subjective as unscientific and therefore, irrelevant. As a consequence the dominant practices of research on gender and HIV/AIDS in Africa have been linked with a narrow dehumanising preoccupation with control and surveillance, which, as Bhana argues, have repercussions for the lives of the subjects of research in Africa who are portrayed as powerless, without history or context and, worse unknown to love. This issue seeks to contribute to deepening and building the body of knowledge on love, gender, sexuality and power across the sexual spectrum. Writers in this issue question how women and men understand, practise, negotiate and strategise within and around love.
