In this article, we're going to identify and analyse interpretive repertoires of the youngers on their speeches about love. From a social constructionist and gender perspective, we perform an analysis of the speech, in concrete of the interpretative repertoires that appear in the program Boys and Girls issued on the YouTube platform in Spain. The analysis of the used repertories by the participants of the program-youngers in ages understood between 14 and 19 years old-has allowed to identify the preference by the use of romantic love repertoire, manifested by the use of figures of speech and characteristic strategies, repertoire guide about suitable ways of feeling, producer and supporter of discriminatory practices that situate the sexualized feminism subordinate to the masculine, encouraging and allowing this inequality between men and women.
Resumen. Bauman acuñó el término modernidad líquida para conceptualizar y visibilizar la nueva manera de relacionarnos y vincularnos interpersonalmente. En el trabajo que aquí presentamos hemos querido analizar esta transición, mediante análisis del discurso, en concreto de repertorios interpretativos del programa de adolescentes para la búsqueda del amor Chicos y Chicas de YouTube, identificando las características que conforman el repertorio del amor líquido tanto en sus elementos teóricos como retóricos. El análisis que hemos llevado a cabo nos ha permitido identificar a su vez el conflicto, convivencia, complementación y fusión entre el amor romántico y el líquido, produciéndose así un fenómeno al que hemos denominado Consumo Romántico. Desde el análisis de género, tanto las prácticas románticas como las líquidas suponen una subordinación y objetivización de lo femenino frente a lo masculino. En ambas prácticas las mujeres son desprovistas de su capacidad de agencia, y se las presenta como entes a la espera de ser conquistadas en el amor romántico, y consumidas en el amor líquido.

Bauman coin the term liquid modernity to conceptualize and visualize the new form that we use to implicate and link us interpersonally. In this article we have wanted to analyze this transition, by means of discourse analysis, in concrete of the interpretative repertories of the searching love program Boys and Girls issued on the YouTube platform, identifying the characteristics that make up the liquid love repertoire, in both cases, theoretical and rhetorical elements. The analysis we have carried out, has allowed to identify the conflict, coexistence, complementation and fusion between the romantic and liquid love, creating a phenomenon that we have named "Romantic Consumption". Likewise, from gender analysis, both romantic and liquid practices involve a subordination and objectification of the feminine before the masculine. In both practices, women are unprovided of their agency capacity, and they are presented as objects waiting to be conquered in romantic love, and consumed in liquid love.
Romantic love promotes and lays the foundation for the development of hegemonic affective sex relationships, guiding the normative ways of feeling and experiencing love. This way of conceiving love is an intrinsic part of women's subordination, and it entails a greater tolerance for situations of violence in sex-affective relationships in which the exercise of asymmetric power relations between men and women is legitimized. With the current advent of the postmodern stage, a wide variety of dissident (non-heterosexual) sexual orientations with heterosexual hegemony have been given greater visibility and legitimacy, and new ways of relating to sex affectively have emerged initially opposed to traditional romantic discourse, the fundamental pillar of monogamy. The aim of the present work was to study whether these different ways of linking us and understanding affective sex relations marked a significant difference with respect to the heterosexual monogamous hegemonic model in the assumption of the mythified ideas of romantic love. Therefore, we studied the relationship between sex, sexual orientation, and the type of sex-affective relationship (monogamous or non-monogamous by consensus) in the assumption of the myths of romantic love. For this purpose, an instrument that showed appropriate psychometric properties was created, and a cross-sectional study was carried out with a sample of 1,235 people who completed a self-administered online questionnaire. The results indicated that there were no significant differences according to sex, but there were differences in sexual orientation and type of relationship. It may be concluded that a person, regardless of sex, heterosexual or homosexual, monogamous or who has never had affective sex relations, will have a significantly greater probability of assuming the myths of romantic love than a person with a sexual orientation other than heterosexual or homosexual and who is in a non-monogamous consensual relationship.
El modelo de masculinidad deseable asociado al fenómeno de la seducción ha sido constituido de forma generalizada en base a presupuestos evolucionistas y biologicistas. Desde una perspectiva socio construccionista y de género analizamos el proceso de construcción de la masculinidad que se reproduce en el manual de seducción «Apocalipsex: los 10 mandamientos de la seducción», mediante la herramienta analítica Grounded Theory. Del análisis concluimos que este manual, respaldándose en estudios de corte biologicista y evolucionista; construye y reproduce como deseable un modelo de masculinidad cuyas pautas de seducción tienen lugar a partir de la virilidad, la actividad sexual, el poder, la dominación, la autoridad, la actividad, la agencia, el riesgo, la presencia, la protección, la insensibilidad y la racionalidad. Asimismo, se trata de forma despectiva a los hombres que no encajan en este modelo, y a las mujeres se las reduce y presenta como objetos sexuados que representan y dotan de masculinidad a los hombres.
Las experiencias liminales tienen lugar durante situaciones significativas de transición, paso o disrupción donde, lo que hasta entonces era dado por sentado, queda en suspensión. En este trabajo, hemos re analizado y re articulado la experiencia de diecinueve varones durante su adolescencia (Uribe, 2018), centrándonos en las expresiones y marcadores socio-psico-orgánico-físicos que hacen referencia a los fenómenos de la adolescencia y la masculinidad como experiencias liminales. Del análisis concluimos que la masculinidad es vivida como una experiencia liminal que se inicia, influye y disemina sus mandatos patriarcales en la etapa adolescente, subvierte el proceso de transición de la niñez a la adultez, y hace emerger un proceso liminal permanente que trasciende el paso no sólo de niño a adulto, sino de niño a hombre, hacia una experiencia eternizada en la cual se es hombre y no hombre al mismo tiempo, debiendo poner a prueba su virilidad de manera constante.
