description Starting from the correlation highlighted by feminist theory between love and the heterosexist structure of relationships, this essay looks at the attempts to reinvent love initiated by two French writers of the 1970s, Hélène Cixous and Monique Wittig. To this end, the paper approaches the question of love in the work of Cixous and Wittig in terms of exchange, which it breaks down into three aspects. The first aspect concerns the libidinal question, insofar as love involves a relationship with the other that implies desire as an overflow. The second aspect considers the love relationship from an ethical angle, questioning the status of the love partner as otherness and difference. The third and final aspect looks at the consequences for the political economy of relationships of a resignification of love exchange based on a new approach to the act of giving.
