Amores Bárbaros: El Poliamor y el Asedio a la Monogamia Patriarcal by Abelardo Barra Ruatta is a philosophical exploration of non-traditional romantic relationships, particularly polyamory, and their challenge to the dominant norms of monogamy and patriarchal structures. The author argues against the naturalization of heterosexual monogamy, presenting it as a construct imposed by societal powers. The book aims to critique the hegemony of traditional sexual norms and advocate for the liberation of sexual and romantic practices from restrictive societal constructs. Targeted at readers interested in social theory, sexuality, and philosophy, the book promotes the idea of relational anarchy and communal affection as alternatives to monogamous relationships. Through a critical lens, it examines how the constructs of family and private property perpetuate control over personal freedom and desire. |
