A diversidade e a desigualdade no poliamor entre mudanças e paradigmas

Abstract

This thesis aims to investigate gender inequalities in polyamorous unions. As a starting point, it is identified that the forms of union and constitution of families have changed over time, and it is possible to observe that the standards and paradigms once affirmed can no longer resist the reality experienced. Transversally, the conservative definition of the concept of family is questioned, considering that it lacks an extension of its understanding, in order to encompassand recognize the various forms of love experienced by subjects in contemporary times. Just as it is intended to deal with changes, there is also a need to discuss their consequences, because, despite this new configuration of relationships, some persistence can also accompany them, such as gender inequality. Therefore, topics such as free relationships, monogamy, polyamory and families will be discussed, addressing issues about the subjects, considering that we are dealing with an element of healthy relevance to society in its entirety that are the old and new forms of relationships and relationships that cause the formation of families. The search, therefore, is for the (de)construction of standards and critical reflection on what has been culturally imposed and reproduced by generations, bringing to light the questioning about the need to debate these great transformations that involve people's intimacy.
