Abstract

Monogamy, as a cultural imperative, permeates the entire legal architecture of the State and, at the same time, exceeds it, saturating social relations in ways that are not always obvious. Based on this intuition, this work focuses, geographically, on Brazil and, temporarily, on the context opened by the covid-19 pandemic, with the aim of defending the hypothesis that monogamy has been reinforced as an organizing principle of the field of sexuality and kinship relations during the pandemic episode. With this, this paper intends to contribute, in addition, to the understanding of the ways in which pandemic norms of exception settle in the social body, thus becoming a constitutive part of public order.
