Ciudad Solidaria y No Monogamia:

reevaluando la finitud y los vínculos afectivos

Resumen

In this article we deal with monogamy as a normative conditioning of desires and affections within the kinship structure, marriages and family relationships, which add symbolic and material values in the way as contemporary society is constituted. We will indicate that these aspects are also associated with material and emotional bonds of attachment and the fear of finitude. Our objective is to reflect on the ways in which monogamy establishes the ideological bases for the constitution of material and urban culture in the appearance and discourses related to the architecture of cities in their constant search for the privilege of exclusivity. We are organized methodologically through ethnographic inspiration and the methods of theoretical review and non-participant observation to analyse the promise of exclusivity and uniqueness in the urban space of Erechim (RS, Brazil). At the end, to counter the constitution of monogamy in material and urban culture in its constant search for the privilege of exclusivity, we argue the possibility of more solidary and detached experiences in the contemporary city based on the greater prominence of non-monogamous bonds and affections.
