«Mucho más que dos»1 o la pareja como red Amor gay en producciones culturales argentinas contemporáneas. (Spanish)

«More than two» or couple as a network Gay love in contemporary Argentinean cultural productions. (English)

Couples are usually thought as a mere conformation of free choice of two individuals that love each other. In that analytical scheme, the relationship is a bond between two individuals. In this paper I propose a conceptual alternative when I conceive couples as a network, in which other people take part. From an analysis of love stories among men that appeared in contemporary Argentinean cultural productions, I consider the ways in which other people conform couple narratives, both to gather the partners or take them apart. Focusing on how mothers and fathers, sisters and brothers, daughters and sons, friends and third parties participate in the assembling of love stories among men allows me to examine meanings about gay love.

Se suele pensar que las parejas se conforman a partir de la libre elección de dos personas que se aman. En dicho esquema, el vínculo se teje entre esos dos individuos. En este trabajo propongo un desplazamiento conceptual, al concebir a la pareja como una red, en la que participan otras personas. A partir del análisis de historias de amor entre varones que aparecieron en producciones culturales argentinas contemporáneas, recupero las formas en que otras personas se insertan en las tramas de las parejas tanto sea para unirlas como para separarlas. Al detenernos en los modos en que madres y padres, hermanas y hermanos, hijas e hijos, amigas y amigos y terceras y terceros en discordia forman parte de las historias de amor entre varones, se desprenden sentidos en torno al amor gay.
