Abstract
CUBELLS SERRA, Jenny and CALSAMIGLIA MADURGA, Andrea. Romantic love's repertoire and the conditions of possibility of violence against women. Univ. Psychol. [online]. 2015, vol.14, n.spe5, pp.1681-1694. ISSN 1657-9267. https://doi.org/10.11144/Javeriana.upsy14-5.rarc.
The present article analyzes the relationship between the interpretative repertoire of romantic love and gender violence. We conducted eight life stories with young people between 25 and 35 years old (3 boys and 5 girls), focused on their relationships. We have resorted to discourse analysis, specifically the analysis of interpretative repertoires. This approach has allowed us to identify, characterize and analyze the interpretative repertoire of romantic love. The results show how romantic love's interpretative repertoire guides to appropriate ways of feeling, helping heterosexual, romantic, monogamous and long lasting relationships that are the basis for patriarchy, generating the conditions of possibility for the emergence and maintenance of gender violence.
Keywords : gender violence; interpretative repertories; metaphors; romantic love.
