THE MEANING OF LOVING RELATIONS IN CONTEMPORANEITY

Abstract

Abstract: This article's objective is to understand the meaning of contemporaneity's loving relations. For that we will make a reflection on what it means to love in the present time, focusing on some transformations that have occurred in loving relations, emphasizing that the way these relations configure are closely tied with the social, cultural and subjective landscape of which they are part of. We will show that contemporaneity is characterized by a culture that privileges and maximizes pleasure, detachable relationships, fight against time, high competitiveness and high consumism. We will point out that contemporaneity has produced a subjectivity constructed on the lack of references, as well as evidence that these human relations are becoming more fragile as time passes, waiting that the deepening of this thematic can contribute to point out the roll of clinical psychologist in this context..
