Paper short abstract:

We have been educated to think and feel monogamous way. Our body responds to emotions associated with it. What happens when we propose to feel different? How do you end up spinning the discourse and practice of polyamory? How our body feels when faces polyamory

Paper long abstract:

The polyamory is an alternative within the range of non-monogamy. One decides for a project other than the mainstream relationship that not only questions the parameters of relationships, but invites to feel different. It implies a transformation of corporeal affections (embodiedaffects). A liminal process.(Stenner, 2008)

The discussion use data from the Catalan Polyamory group to exemplify in Original theoretical discussions. The research takes an ethnographic and narrative approach to highlights the affective and emotional transformations involved in emergent subjectivities and uncertain polyamorous. Taking a relational and process-centered ontology of A.N. Whitehead, polyamory could be conceived as the emergent property of a semiotic-uncertain materials ordering constituting an ethical and aesthetical configuration. Being polyamorous constitutes a movement to a liminal space with a different "composition of an affective relationship" (Brown & Stenner, 2001: 9)

We propose the use of metaphors as analytical tool for the study of liminality by its binding between two different logics (ZoltánKövecses, 2000); logics that allow us to see a kind of snapshot of a hotspot. A liminal hotspot, defined as an ocassion of transition, ambivalence and stress adress will be through a metaphor: The monster.
