An Exchange of Ghosts

Abstract

This article aims to investigate the discursive logic of love, and to , analyze how love is distinguished from falling in love through gender difference. What does it mean to reinvent, to rethink relationships starting from the assumption that heterosexuality is a construction (J. Butler), a contract (M. Wittig), a social obligation (A. Rich)? Is it really possible to get out of the patriarchal logic that touches every relationship?
