a classical but fashionable part of sociological studies, namely the sociology of emotions. As the third in a series dealing with this challenging topic, the book is a valid proof for Moshe’s interest in how emotions develop and influence various aspects of people’s lives. In an era which “enables us to perceive different time dimensions simultaneously” (p. vii), the author aims at addressing the role of time in shaping both people’s ideas about romantic relationships and the relationships themselves. In this context, time is regarded as a major moderator influencing people’s subjective perceptions about the efficiency of their emotional investment (i.e., if a romantic relationship proves to be either a “temporal loss” or a “temporal profit”). Thus, in the attempt to unveil and better understand the psychological nature of romantic relationships, the author builds on the idea that human experiences are strongly linked to the notion of psychological time, which is responsible for the divide into past, present and future time frames. These three layers of time perspective or temporal orientation breed different types of romantic relationships; understanding temporality with reference to romantic relationships might contribute to more realistic representations about love and romance. The volume includes five chapters, structured in the form of five separate, yet interconnected sections. The first chapter, Temporal Orientation and Romantic Relationships, offers insights about people’s attitudes towards time. Specifically, the role of this chapter is to set the background for the following ones, dealing with how temporal orientations (i.e., present, past or future) shape the magnitude and direction of romantic relationships. The second chapter, Romantic Relationships and Love in the “Here-and-Now”, mainly refers to the present temporal orientation, which is often described as hedonism. People experiencing this type of romantic relationship are those seeking to “maximize pleasure for their own benefit” (p. 17). However, due to high technological advance and the evolution of virtual romantic relationships, the “here-and-now” characteristic of romance is seriously questionable since it might determine unrealistic and inconvenient relationships. The third chapter, Romantic Relationships and Love in the “There-and-Then”, offers a comprehensive understanding of how references to both past and present have an impact on how people perceive their romantic relationships. Unlike the “here-and-now” perspective, the “there-and-then” one is more realRomanian Journal of Communication and Public Relations vol. 19, no 2 (41) / July 2017, 43-44 ISSN: 1454-8100/ E-ISSN: 2344-5440

评论“暂时性的爱。临时性与浪漫关系》，作者：Mira Moshe，纽约，Nova Science出版社，2016年

社会学研究的经典但时尚的部分，即情感社会学。作为涉及这一挑战性主题的系列文章中的第三本，这本书是摩西对情绪如何发展并影响人们生活各个方面的兴趣的有效证明。在一个“使我们能够同时感知不同的时间维度”的时代（第vii页），作者旨在探讨时间在塑造人们关于浪漫关系的观念和关系本身方面的作用。在这种情况下，时间被认为是影响人们对情感投资效率的主观理解的主要调节者（即，浪漫关系被证明是“暂时的损失”还是“暂时的利润”）。因此，为了揭示和更好地理解浪漫关系的心理本质，作者基于这样的思想，即人类经验与心理时间的概念紧密相关，心理时间是造成过去，现在和未来时间框架划分的原因。这三层时间透视或时间取向孕育了不同类型的浪漫关系。参照浪漫关系理解时间性可能有助于更真实地表达关于爱情和浪漫的表象。该卷包括五章，以五个独立但相互联系的部分的形式构成。第一章“时间取向和浪漫关系”提供有关人们对时间态度的见解。具体而言，本章的作用是为以下内容设置背景，以处理时间方向（即当前，过去或未来）塑造恋爱关系的大小和方向。第二章，“这里和现在”中的浪漫关系和爱情，主要是指当前的时间取向，通常被称为享乐主义。经历这种浪漫关系的人们是那些试图“为自己的利益最大化享乐”（第17页）的人。然而，由于高科技的发展和虚拟浪漫关系的发展，浪漫的“从此到现在”的特征受到严重质疑，因为它可能会确定不现实和不便的关系。第三章，“从那以后”中的浪漫关系和爱情，全面理解了对过去和现在的提及如何影响人们对浪漫关系的看法。与“从现在到现在”的观点不同，“从那里到现在”的观点更为真实。19，No 2（41）/ 2017年7月，43-44 ISSN：1454-8100 / E-ISSN：2344-5440
