Abstract

The text translated here is part of the first academic book published in English on consensual non-monogamies, which marked a turning point in the prestige and visibility of academic production on this topic. Since then, debates around the subversive potential – or lack thereof – of consensual non-monogamies have intensified, especially in the aftermath of the approval of same-gender marriage in several countries. In certain ways, Eleanor Wilkinson's text summarizes, anticipates, and maps out what remain, to this day, as the major axes of political discussion about false dichotomies, ways of building community, projects of resistance against capitalism, and even the importance of considering urgent environmental concerns. Despite being published in 2010, it seems more relevant now than it was then. I hope this translation can make this paradigmatic work accessible to a much larger audience. – Daniel Cardoso.
