Abstract
DIAZ FREIRE, José Javier. Ortega on Love. A Dialogue with Victoria Ocampo. rev.estud.soc. [online]. 2022, n.80, pp.21-36. Epub Apr 25, 2022. ISSN 0123-885X. https://doi.org/10.7440/res80.2022.02.
In the inter-war period, Ortega y Gasset set out to construct a new modernity in which love disappeared. He established a close link between modernity and the regulation of amorous emotion, and between the latter and gender relations. The centrality of love in Ortega’s project of rectifying modernity explains the abundance of his writings on the subject, many of these addressed, somewhat veiled, to Victoria Ocampo. There are hardly any studies on Ortega’s writings on love and none at all from a gender perspective. This article is also in keeping with the growing interest in the topic of love in the field of gender studies.
Keywords : courtly love; emotions; gender; modernity; romantic love.
