The political and social feminist theory has identified libidinal economy as one of the most fundamental sources of social opression based on gender. It was probably Carole Pateman who first offered a modern genealogy of that oppression, going back to social contract theories and the liberal notion of consent. Paradoxically, by the time in which Pateman offered her sexual contract theory, the marriage institution was on crisis, as it would be demonstrated by the sociologist Eva Illouz. Nowadays, marriage coexists with new forms of sexoaffective filiation that are not less oppressive. Historically feminism has been pessimistic regarding the possibility of thinking non oppressive ways of affective, cisheterosexual relations. Nonetheless, we arguewould like to propose that the idea of “affective responsibility”, which has recently been very popular in Argentina, is presented as a way of reaction to oppression. To the extent of giving more specificity to this notion, we will lean on Sara Ahmed and Judith Butler’s work 1 Trafficking 1 United Nations 1 Women 1 antropología feminista 1 care 1 cineastas argentinas 1 criminología 1 cuidados 1 dependence 1 dependencia 1 derecho 1
