Una exploración de la parentalidad en la Modernidad líquida

Abstract

While chemical contraception made "sex without reproduction" possible, new reproductive technologies facilitate "reproduction without sex", which at the same time enables a formidable range of apparently naturalized family configurations, in liquid modernity. We are currently assisting in the construction of links, roles and functions that move away from those traditional paradigms, which until the end of the 20th century seemed immutable.

In this research, the aim is to contribute –from a psychoanalytic perspective- to the exploration of those representations of parenting that take place in the context of liquid Modernity, based on the supply –and demand- of medically assisted reproduction.

In reference to the research that is currently carried out from the Graduate School of the NULaM (CyTMA2 2020 Call "New representations of parenting. From assisted reproduction in liquid modernity"), we present below, as the first progress report, its theoretical framework.
