The cultural imperative of monogamy has been a major concern of multiple traditions of struggle and critical thinking that are not always in harmony with each other. The various Marxisms, anarchist and socialist feminists, lesbian feminism, queer and decolonial studies, indigenous epistemologies, among other lines of thought and political militancy, have found in the criticism of the monogamous organization of affect, sexual relations and kinship ties an unexpected meeting point.
Taking this complexity into account, this thematic issue aims to reflect on the new regulations and the challenges to - and against – the norm of monogamy. Far from trying to define the “proper” space for reflection on this topic, we hope to build bridges between various academic disciplines and, at the same time, between practices and communities that are usually not in dialogue.
