This project aims to examine the notion of the couple in the era of marriage equality. It is generally thought that couple longevity is an incontestable good socially, psychologically, and economically. The advent of same-sex marriage in Australia provides the occasion to reconsider why it is that general cultural benefits are thought to devolve from coupled intimacy alone. Rather than dismiss the value of marriage, either straight or gay, this project looks at an archive of contemporary representations in which the couple form presents as a public good, not a private good. This anthropological study tests the supposed connection between intimate companionship and collective thriving.

本项目旨在探讨婚姻平等时代的夫妻观念。人们普遍认为，夫妻长寿对于社会、心理和经济来说都是无可争议的好事。澳大利亚同性婚姻的出现提供了一个机会，让我们重新思考为什么普遍的文化利益被认为仅仅来自于夫妻的亲密关系。该项目并没有忽视婚姻的价值，无论是异性恋还是同性婚姻，而是着眼于当代表现档案，其中夫妻形式呈现为公共利益，而不是私人利益。这项人类学研究测试了亲密陪伴与集体繁荣之间的假设联系。
