OYHANTCABAL, Laura Mercedes. Disputed Eroticisms: a Dialogue between Heterosexual, BDSM, Polyamorous and Neopentecostal Erotica in Uruguay. Astrolabio [online]. 2023, n.31, pp.10-10. ISSN 1668-7515.  http://dx.doi.org/10.55441/1668.7515.n31.39206.

This work seeks to intertwine some findings from three anthropological investigations in Uruguay of which I have been a part: one addressed sexual negotiations and the strategies that women put into practice to manage the differences that occur in heterosexual encounters; another the meanings and experiences of the erotic in practitioners of free love and BDSM; the third, the models of sexuality and love that are being built and reaffirmed from neo-Pentecostal churches based on anti-gender discourses.

The purpose will be to build a dialogue between these investigations to visualize the different forms that eroticism adopts in these contexts, considering the practices and discourses of various social actors. In particular, the interest will be in identifying how eroticism can be useful to question or reaffirm the dominant sex-affective models, characterized by patriarchy, heterosexuality and monogamy as systems, and gender-sex binary and complementarity. The voices of the different actors will give an account of how these sexual-affective models are embodied, resisted, modified, dismantled, reconstructed or reaffirmed through their practices and discourses.

Palabras clave : eroticism; heterosexuality; polyamory; BDSM; neopentecostal churches.
