Abstract

Many authors have explored the relationship between technology and intimacy in 21st Latin American literature, and have pointed out legal, political, and affective dilemmas in relation to the freedom of subjects, the control of their intimacy, and the systems that monitor them. Kentukis poses the image of global connection through a network of intimacies in which the subjects observe and are observed. On the basis of these global connections, I propose that the exhibition of intimacy allows us to consider it as a collective phenomenon and insert it in the discussion on civil rights.
