ABSTRACT
This introduction presents an overview of the key concepts discussed in the subsequent chapters of this book. The book outlines a conceptualization of filial love that, as an interstitial practice, becomes a denial of the politics of sensibilities as part of a political economy of morality as a closed whole. It shows how thousands of mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers, cousins, uncles, sons and daughters form collective actions that are registered in a conflictual network and that provide the contents of the political economy of morality sustained by said networks. The book aims to make evident how love, as an interstitial practice, produces a set of collective practices and how, through a mapping of these practices, it is possible to observe the connection between the politics of sensibilities and social conflict. It analyzes some of the most important collective practices that emerge from the analysis of filial love.
