Love for a feminist dictionary. The love of feminism and modest interventions

Abstract

Love has been an extremely important issue for feminist reflection, central to think about the articulations of oppression, the possibilities of change and the ontological imaginations of how to re-found relationships with others. We propose a journey through different feminist thinkers on the concept of love, both in its normative articulation, as well as in its limits to forge another politics of gender relations and the possibility, in many occasions, of finally abandoning it. The structure of the text is presented as a possible entry to a feminist dictionary that we imagine for feminist thought. We find it central to be able to account for the tensions, recoveries, abandonments and reformulations of love in this short list, in order to think how our feminist political imagination is articulated in the possibility of another world of relations with others.
