| Sumario: | This article aims to analyze the tensions and disputes between polyamorists and RLis – Relações Livres (Free Relationships), the two main non-monogamous identities in Brazil, responsible for the rise of militancy around the legitimation of sexual-affective multiplicity in the years 2000-2010. What distinctions and hierarchies are mobilized from their interactions? Is it possible and desirable for them to consolidate an identity politics that subtracts or disguises their differences in favor of the “non-monogamy” category? The research was conducted on websites and groups in social media dedicated to the theme, in addition to in-depth interviews and participation in non-monogamous events. Even if they see themselves as allies in the struggle against compulsory monogamy, RLis and polyamorists disputed hegemony and control of the non-monogamous movement, diverging around the principles that should guide affective-sexual relationships. |
