This article aims to discuss the ways in the contemporary life has behaved in the face of technologies that facilitate affective relationships. We use critical theoretical perspectives on the use of digital technologies to supply and validate the understanding of affective interactions carried out in cyberspace. The concepts of sociation, metropolis, liquid love, among others, help us to think about contemporary affective relationships both from the perspective of subjectivity and the mercantile of matter. The central argument of the text focuses on the fact that we are subjected to the use of relationship applications and that these technologies can shape our daily lives, our subjectivities, our wills and desires as conscious beings, in the direction of exchanging material affection for being online.
KEYWORDS: Subjectivity; Affectivity; Hyperconnectivity; Relationship Apps.
