OLIVEIRA ROTONDANO, Ricardo. Between monogamy and polyamory: the family´s future in Brazil. Rev. Fac. Der. [online]. 2018, n.44, pp.244-275. ISSN 0797-8316.  https://doi.org/10.22187/rfd2018n44a10.

The traditional western family model, wich for centuries has been the only valid form of affective coexistence in society, has its conceptions of universal moral legitimacy opposed by postmodern presuppositions. The philosophical-social transformations that took place in contemporary western society highlight the challenge to ancient supposedly universal dogmas, such as the compulsory monogamous form of loving coexistence. In this context, new models of family organization and affectivity emerge, all of them valid and legitimate according to a pluralistic and intercultural order that values diversity and difference. In the meantime, polyamor relations gain increasing prominence, emerging as sociocultural practices that challenge the historical supremacy of the monogamous family entity in the West.

Palavras-chave : polyamory; monogamy; family; postmodernity.
