Abstract

This research aims to contribute to the social science literature on love, takingpolyamory as an interface. To this end, we consider love as a sociallymanufactured and its praxis comes from cultural environments. Thus, due to an increasing consumption ofinformation related to polyamory, through applications, websites, newspapers, etc. We seekobjective how the beliefs that underlie polyamory are manufactured and how theseinteract with the hegemonic designs of romantic love and the monogamous couple
