Abstract

Like being, love is said in many ways. There are different grammars of love, and different phenomenologies of love experience. The threads that bind the grammars of love are also complex, and even when they are said in the unspoken words of erotic ecstasy or in the silence that accompanies the mourning due to the loss of the beloved object, they are always stretched towards their own saying, towards a possible narration. Purifying or amending these grammars is not an easy task, but recognising that many of them conceal the presence - sometimes not even so hidden - of male or patriarchal domination, it is at least desirable to provide a deconstruction.
