NUNEZ SANDOVAL, Karla Jhoana. A Brief Analysis of the Construction of Love in Women's Body Through Habitus. A Glimpse to Consider a Feminist Ethics. Valenciana [online]. 2023, vol.16, n.31, pp.271-301.  Epub Apr 28, 2023. ISSN 2007-2538.  https://doi.org/10.15174/rv.v15i31.698.

This article is intended to give account of how the habit operates in women's bodies, particularly regarding the heterosexual-patriarchal love relationship from an existential-phenomenological perspective, we will take into consideration the thought of Simone de Beauvoir and Jean Paul Sartre. In this way, we will be able to explain what we mean by body by reflecting on Pierre Bordieau’s concept of habitus, to point out the patriarchal symbolic order within the sex-affective loving relationships from a phenomenological perspective. As for the approach to the idea of love, we will make a historical journey from the development of Marcela Lagarde in her book Claves feministas en la negociación del amor, as well as her concept of captivity. Finally, we will give some notes on Graciela Hierro's ethics of pleasure as a conclusion.
