Abstract

Sologamija je simbolno poročanje s samim seboj. Ta izraz posameznikove ljubezni in zavezanosti samemu sebi je čedalje bolj priljubljen predvsem med samskimi ženskami srednjih let, ki so velikokrat tarče singlizma, starizma in seksizma. Ali jim samsko življenje in specifično sologamija ponujata možnost osvoboditve od patriarhalnih družbenih norm, ali pa gre le za novo obliko mehanizmov nadzorovanja in podrejanja? V iskanju odgovora se opiram na temeljna teoretska dela s področja družboslovja. Sologamijo preučujem iz različnih zornih kotov in v njej prepoznavam prepletanje mnogoterih dominantnih ideologij, vrednot in norm. Spričo tega se posvečam predstavam o ljubezni, intimnih razmerjih in samskosti tako, da jih opazujem v spreminjajočem se družbenem, kulturnem in časovnem kontekstu »Zahodnih« družb. Pri obravnavi sodobne medosebne dinamike v partnerstvu in družbi posebno pozornost namenjam ideologijam čaščenja posameznika, avtonomije, svobode in izbire. Terapevtsko kulturo, narcizem in spektakularnost postavljam ob bok kritični obravnavi mehanizmov zatiranja in reproduciranja spolne neenakosti skozi heteronormativne predstave o sreči, času in življenjskih potekih, svoja dognanja o sologamiji pa argumentiram s sklicevanjem na že obstoječe intervjuje. Četudi pojavnost sologamije kaže na družbene neenakosti in kliče po tem, da se jih naslovi, ugotavljam, da je njen emancipatorni potencial na širši, družbeno-politični ravni zadušen pod težo individualističnega diskurza osebne rasti.

Secondary title:	Sologamy: case study of interpersonal relations and dominant ideologies in contemporary affluent societies
Secondary abstract:	Sologamy represents symbolic marriage with oneself. Such expression of individual's love and self-commitment is ever more popular especially among middle-aged single women, who are often targets of singlism, ageism, and sexism. Do single life and sologamy represent an escape from patriarchal social norms, or merely new forms of control and subordination? In the search for my answer, I lean on key works from the field of social sciences. Throughout, I approach sologamy from different angles and recognise the interconnectedness of various dominant ideologies, values, and norms. Specifically, I focus on the notions of love, intimate relations, and singlehood and consider them within their changing social, cultural and temporal context within »Western« societies. My analysis of contemporary partnerships and society is centred on the ideologies of exalting the individual, of autonomy, freedom, and choice. I explore therapeutic culture, narcissism, and spectacle alongside critical considerations of mechanisms of oppression and reproduction of gender inequality through heteronormative ideas of happiness, time, and life course, supporting my claims by referring to existing interviews with sologamous individuals. Although the occurrence of sologamy itself reflects social inequalities and calls for their recognition, I conclude that its potential for emancipation on the broader socio-political scale is suppressed by the strength of discourse on personal growth.
