Abstract

PALOMINO FORERO, Jorge Alberto. Between romance of "doggy bitches" and disenchantment: a look at the loving relationships among young people in Bogota. Nómadas [online]. 2012, n.36, pp.213-223. ISSN 0121-7550.

The article presents the tensions generated in romantic life among young people in Bogota, as a new way of subjectivity that emerges through the so-called figure of the doggy - bitch. The text explores how the seduction performances done by this subject, destabilize the notion of legitimate partner through romantic love, giving way to other modes of comprehending love and sexuality. However, it is concluded that the ideal of romantic love remains a strong ally for the capitalist system reproduction process.

Keywords : romantic love; sexuality; youth; couples; subjectivity.
