Edited by Ruth Fine, Yosef Kaplan, Shimrit Peled and Yoav Rinon. Zwölf Beiträge, alle in englischer Sprache, befassen sich mit dem Begriff des Eros auf Grundlage eines breiten Spektrums historischer, literarischer und kultureller Perspektiven. Ein besonderer Schwerpunkt liegt auf den historischen Aspekten des Eros, seiner zeitlichen Einordnung und Kontextualisierung. Die Beiträge gliedern sich in fünf Kapitel: Theorizing Eros; From Classic to Modern: Eros in European Literature; Eros in Pre-Modern Iberian Society and Culture; Eros in Modern Jewish Community in Palestine; Eros in Contemporary Culture. Eines der wesentlichen Ziele der Publikation ist es, sowohl die Macht als auch die problematischen Aspekte des Eros sowie seinen Beitrag zur Gründung von Familien und Gemeinschaften zu erfassen. Die textbasierten und theoretischen Annäherungen an das Konzept des Eros und die vielfältigen in diesem Zusammenhang erschlossenen Themen reflektieren die unterschiedlichen wissenschaftlichen Disziplinen sowie die interdisziplinäre Herangehensweise der Autoren.
