PATES, Giuliana. Reading Practices and Gender Politicization: How do Young Argentinean Women Read Romantic Novels. Rev. interdiscip. estud. género Col. Méx. [online]. 2023, vol.9, e1056.  Epub 26-Ene-2024. ISSN 2395-9185.  https://doi.org/10.24201/reg.v9i1.1056.

How is love narrated and read in the context of the politicization and youthization of the feminist movement? How do young women appropriate the cultural matrices of love and sexual affectivity? This article will analyze the links between the experiences of gender activism among young Argentinian women and how they read young adult novels with love themes. It also examines the continuities and ruptures in the narrative of romantic love in young American adult literature, how these novels are incorporated into Argentina’s publishing market and the multiple appropriations made by a group of readers living in the metropolitan area of Buenos Aires. It is a qualitative and descriptive investigation based on observations in literary events, a survey of editorial catalogues, analyses of novels, and interviews with young women. Finally, this paper is a contribution to the fields of cultural sociology, book and publishing studies, and gender studies.

Palabras llave : youth; activism; love; sexual-affectivity; reading; publishing market.
