Monogamia e amor romântico: construções históricas e suas repercussões na sociedade

Abstract

This academic work aims to delve into the analysis of the intersection between monogamy and the ideal of romantic love in social relationships, meticulously investigating how these ideals permeate the culture and everyday life of individuals. The research seeks to unveil the origins and foundations of monogamous relationships and romantic love, as well as examine their significant impacts on contemporary Western society. Monogamy is addressed as a social construct that exerts a significant influence on emotional and sexual relationships, delineating norms and expectations that shape human behavior. Simultaneously, romantic love is recognized as a human invention that establishes standards for seeking completeness and happiness through romantic bonds. In this context, the research aims to clarify how these ideals are internalized and reproduced by individuals in their personal and social relationships. A case study is conducted, focusing on the singer Luisa Sonza, who recently brought these issues to the forefront through her music and personal life. The analysis of this specific case serves as a concrete example of ongoing discussions about monogamy and romantic love in contemporary society. Furthermore, the work highlights the emergence and increasing visibility of alternative relationships, such as non-monogamy, which challenges traditional paradigms of exclusive commitment. Non-monogamy is explored as an alternative that questions conventional relationship structures and creates space for a diversity of emotional and sexual experiences. The conclusions of this study are based on extensive bibliographic research. These academic resources provide a solid foundation for the discussion and substantiation of the addressed theme, ensuring the robustness of the presented conclusions
