ABSTRACT
This essay tries to draw attention to how in practice love is a source of collective actions. Love is understood as an interstitial practice that belies the alleged character of the totality of the regime of truth of a society normalized in immediate enjoyment through consumption, and whose central axes are the banalization of the good, the politics of perversion, and the logic of waste.
Through an empirical investigation based on a virtual ethnography, the chapter tries to make evident how hundreds of collective actions, especially in Latin America, are performed based on a shared energy configured around the proximity and communality that produce and propitiate filial love. Based on this, we try to show how research on love allows us to understand the current processes of social structuring and also reflect on the construction of other futures.
