%X Generally</span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">,</span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\"> men
and women bind themselves driven by what they name love. Creative and identity</span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">-</span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">renewing exaltation, </span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">a </span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">revolutionary force</span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\"> that</span><span style=\"font-family:&quot;\"><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\"> suddenly </span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">makes the insipidness of one¡¯s life visible, love
is a profound emotion. The transition from love to loving, from love as pure
emotion to active love in a</span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\"> relationship, marks the difference between
yesterday¡¯s lovers and today¡¯s lovers, over time and </span></span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">in </span><span style=\"font-family:&quot;\"><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">societies, highlighting the social form of intimacy.
What, then, is the ¡°form¡± of contemporary love? Do the risks that characterize
to</span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">day¡¯s intimate life mean that love has now
become emptied of meaning</span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">, sucked into the semantic code of a ¡°light¡±
and ¡°inconsistent¡± love, as Bauman seems to want? Or is there another
interpretative possibility, on the line that runs from Luhmann to Giddens up to
Beck? Paradoxically, is it perhaps that love seems to have no meaning because
it has ¡°too much¡± meaning? In the framework of the relationship between </span><i><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">Systems Theory</span></i><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\"> and </span><i><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">Intimacy Sociology</span></i><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">, the paper addresses these questions, revisiting
to this purpose</span></span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">,</span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\"> the
morphogenesis of love in the transition from solidarity without choice to
solidarity without consent.
