Abstract

The family institution in the capitalist system acts as a violent environment, especially for individuals who deviate from sexuality and gender norms, because conservative bourgeois values are reproduced in interpersonal and social relationships. This article critically analyzes the family in a monogamous and neoliberal context. It observes assimilation as a tactic of late capitalism to docilize potentially anti-systemic groups, based on the assumption that monogamy is a colonial structure governed by patriarchy and heterocisnorm.
