In this chapter, we shifted our focus from individual bodies to entire societies and the market forces that shape them, starting with a keynote on love, labor and the invention of dating in the 20th Century. A documentary case study will structure discussions around love at the global scale: How is love shaped by complexifying global societies? How does it intersect with large-scale phenomena of borders, migration, sexism, racism, class and social justice? Which narrative forms, media and technologies can help us understand and tell the stories of global love?
