De maneira mais específica, a pesquisa procura discutir quais variáveis sociodemográficas seriam importantes para o perfil das mulheres unidas que são provedoras e a maneira como a participação de mulheres e homens unidos no provimento doméstico é afetada pelo modo como se inserem (ou não) no mercado de trabalho. O tempo gasto no trabalho remunerado e nos afazeres domésticos constitui também ponto importante de estudo, já que permite analisar o gasto total de tempo dos indivíduos em um e em outro e como isso pode ou não influenciar a participação no provimento doméstico. Outro objetivo específico da tese foi buscar também analisar a trajetória profissional e familiar do casal, como as mulheres se tornaram provedora e como isso afeta a organização doméstica. Tentou-se entender se o fato de as mulheres unidas serem provedoras ou não alterou de alguma maneira o tempo gasto nos afazeres domésticos e a participação dos parceiros nesses afazeres. Para cumprir tais objetivos, a pesquisa foi realizada em duas etapas: uma, quantitativa, através da análise dos dados das PNADs de 2001 a 2009 para o Estado de São Paulo urbano, e outra, qualitativa, baseada em 42 entrevistas com mulheres unidas. Dessas, nove com não provedoras, 14 com provedoras complementares e 19 com provedoras principais, todas da Região Metropolitana de Campinas. A principal contribuição deste trabalho é mostrar que a participação feminina no provimento doméstico no Estado de São Paulo urbano é algo consolidado e teve um aumento constante no decorrer da década. Outro ponto importante do trabalho foi verificar que homens e mulheres unidos estão inseridos de maneiras diferentes no mercado de trabalho e isso reflete em suas participações no provimento doméstico. Enquanto a grande maioria desses homens é provedor principal, a maioria das mulheres é provedora complementar. Por outro lado, a participação no provimento doméstico não diminui a jornada doméstica de trabalho feminino, fazendo com que as mulheres provedoras ainda tenham muita dificuldade em articular o trabalho remunerado com os afazeres domésticos. Contudo, o mesmo não acontece para os homens. Entre as mulheres que são provedoras principais há um agravante extra, por mais que participar do mercado de trabalho seja importante para que elas adquiram independência quanto à administração do seu dinheiro, a sobrecarga de trabalho ainda é muito grande. Para elas, assumir parte principal ou o total do provimento doméstico se transforma em uma experiência negativa, já que em sua percepção, tal situação desobriga os homens de assumirem suas responsabilidades familiares, tanto no que diz respeito ao provimento doméstico quanto a uma maior participação nas trabalhas domésticas / Abstract: In the context of the analysis about the relation between family dynamics and the increasing participation and retention of women in the labor market, this research aims to study the participation of women in union (married or in a consensual union) in household providing. More specifically, the research discusses which sociodemographic variables would be important for the profile of these women in union who are household providers and how the way women and men in union are inserted (or not) in the labor market. The time spent in paid employment and household chores is also an important point of this research, since it allows analyzing the total time men and women together spend and how it may or may not influence their participation in household providing. The data for the analysis of the professional and familiar career of the couple and the household organization are also important to the household providing analysis and were considered. To accomplish these goals, the research was conducted in two stages: quantitative, through the analysis of data from the PNAD from 2001 to 2009 for the State of São Paulo, and qualitative, based on interviews made with 42 women in union, of which nine were non-providers, 14 were complementary providers and 19 were primary providers. All these women were from the Metropolitan Region of Campinas, SP, Brazil. The main contribution of this research is to show that female participation in household providing in the State of São Paulo is something consolidated and had a steady increase during the decade. Another important point of this research was that men and women that are living together in a stable relationship are placed differently in the labor market and this is reflected in their participation in household providing. While the vast majority of these men are the main providers, most women are complementary providers. Moreover, the participation in household providing does not reduce women's workload and the female providers end up having a hard time articulating paid employment with domestic chores. However, the same is not true for men. Among women who are primary providers there is an aggravating point, even though being in the labor market is important for them to gain independence in the management of their money, the workload is still too large. For these women, taking the main part or the total of the household providing becomes a negative experience, since, in their perception, it frees men of assuming their familiar responsibilities in household providing and in their part of the housework / Doutorado / Demografia / Doutor em Demografia

Resumo: Esta tese busca expandir a etnografia realizada em meios digitais com homens que procuravam encontros sexuais e afetivos fora do casamento, utilizando-se para tal de sites especializados que prometiam "sigilo" e "segurança", além de "aventura" e "emoção". Naquela pesquisa, concentrei-me no site canadense Ashley Madison. Tratava-se de pesquisa que buscava pensar as conjugalidades contemporâneas, mas que derivou em discussões sobre sexualiade e desejos, às quais se somaram às negociações no campo das relações de gênero, as quais se davam em cenário marcado pela incitação à aventura e ao consumo de emoções, levando-me a prestar atenção à constituição das masculinidades contemporâneas frente a estas demandas. A esta nova chave de entrada, somou-se o alargamento do uso de aplicativos para smartphones como recurso de inserção no competitivo mercado dos afetos. Busquei, então, na presente pesquisa compreender como homens adultos, que se entendem como heterossexuais, pertencentes à classe média e médica baixa, têm negociado sexo e amor com suas potenciais parcerias e lidado com as relações de gênero que atravessam esses contatos no presente como, nessas intermediações digitais performam, atualizam e tencionam modelos de masculinidades. Assim, o principal objetivo desta tese foi compreender como esses recursos comunicacionais têm incidido na forma desses homens, nascidos entre 1955 e 1985, compreenderem e atualizarem a própria masculinidade, regido pela lógica do consumo romântico, na esfera do capitalismo afetivo, quando são incitados a mobilizar formas de se relacionar específicas, nem sempre coerentes com aquelas que aprenderam nos meios analógicos. Entre achados deste trabalho está a confirmação de teses que mostraram a transposição, para o campo dos afetos, de vocalubário emprestado do mundo do trabalho precarizado e do consumo intensificado...

In that survey. I focused on the Canadian website Ashley Madison. It was a research that sough to think about contemporary conjugalities, but that led to discussions on sexuality and desires, to which were added the negotiations in the field of gender relations, in a scenario market by incitement to adventure and consumption of emotions, leading me to pay attention to the constitution of contemporary masculinities in the face of the demands. To this new key of entry, it was added the enlarged use of applications for smartphones as a resource of insertion in the competitive market of the affections. Therefore, I sough to undestand how heterosexual adult men belonging to the middle and lower middle class have been negotiating sex and love with their potential partners, how they have been dealing with gender relations that cross these contacts in the present, and how, in these digital intermediations, they perform, update and tension models of masculinities. Thus, the main objective of this dissertation was to understand how these communicational resources have influenced the form in which these men, born between 1995, understand and perform their own maculinity, ruled by the logic of romantic consumption, in the sphere of affective capitalism, when they are incited to mobilize specific ways of relationg, not always coherent with those learned in analogic media. Among the findings of this work there is the confirmation of previous reseachers that showed the transposition of vocabulary borrowed from the world of precarious work and intensified consumption to the field of affection. The romantic utopia of the hereosexual pair is confronted with the incitement to... (Complete abstract electronic access below)

Thesis (PhD)--Stellenbosch University, 2014. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Current mainstream theories of intimacy were derived from studies with primarily White, middle class participants living in developed countries. However, as social contexts shape people’s definitions, meanings and behaviours, it cannot be assumed that mainstream intimacy conceptualisations would apply to other populations. Studies of intimacy should be located in its social and historical context. Previous South African studies of Black and Coloured couples mainly emphasised HIV/Aids, interpartner violence and gender inequality, and neglected to investigate positive aspects of intimate lives of poorer communities. A lack of such context-specific data on how South African men and women construct and experience intimate relationships hinders appropriate and effective interventions. This study addressed this research gap by exploring intimacy experiences of long-term heterosexual adult Coloured couples living in a low-income semi-rural community. The objective of this qualitative study was to gain an understanding of how the participant couples expressed and experienced intimacy. The participants were 15 couples (i.e. 30 participants), between the ages of 23 and 66 years, who had been married or living together for a minimum period of two years. Qualitative semi-structured interviews were conducted to explore: (i) how couples understand intimacy, and (ii) how intimacy is expressed and experienced in committed adult heterosexual relationships. Theoretically, this study was informed by social constructionism and interviews were analysed using Braun and Clarke’s thematic analysis method. The following themes were identified: (i) closeness means being together, (ii) sex and intimacy (iii) closeness in talking (iv) expressions and experiences of intimacy/closeness through acts of care, (v) alcohol disrupts closeness (vi) family of origin and the constructions of intimacy; and (vii) community constructions and norms. Although much of the international literature suggests that mutual self-disclosure is the foundation for intimacy, self-disclosure did not feature prominently in the narratives of this study’s narratives. Closeness was expressed through sharing in practical and tangible ways. Gender was pertinent to these couples’ experiences and gender roles were fundamental to their intimacy perceptions and behaviours. Despite some contestations of hegemonic masculinity and femininity constructions, most of the participants did not demonstrate an active awareness or resistance regarding learned gender roles. They did not seem to consider these gender roles as problematic, limited or limiting, nor did they indicate alternative gender ideas. This was attributed partly to poverty and low education levels, which constrain people’s access to alternative gender perspectives. Religion and community influences also play an important role in their understanding of their role as partner. Although Christianity endorses traditional gender ideas, the participants themselves felt that their religious beliefs and practices facilitated intimate experiences, and prevented alcohol abuse and domestic violence. In conclusion, implications for policy and practice in terms of gender inequality and alcohol abuse are discussed, as are the limitations of the study. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Huidige hoofstroom teorieë van intimiteit is afgelei van studies met hoofsaaklik Wit, middelklas-deelnemers. Aangesien sosiale konteks mense se definisies, betekenis en gedrag met betrekking tot intimiteit vorm, kan dit egter nie aanvaar word dat die hoofstroom konseptualisering van intimiteit ook van toepassing sal wees op ander bevolkingsgroepe nie. Studies van intimiteit moet geleë wees in die sosiale en historiese konteks. 'n Gebrek aan sodanige konteks-spesifieke data oor hoe verskillende groepe Suid-Afrikaanse mans en vroue intieme verhoudings verstaan en beleef, kan toepaslike en effektiewe verhouding ingrypings belemmer. Verder het vorige Suid Afrikaanse studies oor Swart en Kleurling paartjies hoofsaaklik gefokus op HIV/VIGS, paartjie geweld en geslags ongelykhede en het nagelaat om positiewe aspekte van die intieme lewe van paartjies in arm gemeenskappe te ondersoek. Hierdie studiehet hierdie navorsing leemte aangespreek deur te verken hoe hoe langtermyn, heteroseksuele, volwasse paartjies in 'n lae-inkomste semi-landelike gemeenskap intimiteit verstaan, beleef en uitdruk. Die deelnemers was 15 paartjies (d.w.s 30 deelnemers), tussen die ouderdomme van 23 en 66 jaar, wat getroud was of saamgewoon het vir 'n tydperk van ten minste twee jaar. Kwalitatiewe semi-gestruktureerde onderhoude is gevoer om die volgende te verken: (i) hoe paartjies intimiteit verstaan, en (ii) hoe intimiteit betoon en ervaar word in toegewyde volwasse heteroseksuele verhoudings. Die studie is teoreties geskoei op sosiale konstruktiwisme en onderhoude is ontleed met behulp Braun en Clarke se tematiese analise metode. Die volgende temas is geïdentifiseer uit die onderhoude: (i) nabyheid beteken om saam te wees, (ii) seks en intimiteit, (iii) nabyheid deur gesels (iv) uitdrukkings en ervarings van intimiteit deur dade van sorg, (v) alkohol ontwrig saamwees, (vi) die invloed van die familie van oorsprong op die konstruksie van intimiteit, (vii) gemeenskap konstruksies en norme. Alhoewel die internasionale literatuur aandui dat wedersydse selfonthulling die grondslag vir intimiteit vorm, het self-onthulling nie prominent in die deelnemers se vertellings voorgekom nie. Nabyheid is eerder beleef en betoon deur praktiese en tasbare dade en gebare. Geslagsrolle was fundamenteel in paartjies se belewing en uitvoering van intimiteit. Ten spyte daarvan dat sommige individuele deelnemers hegemoniese geslagsrolle bevraagteken het, het die meerderheid deelnemers nie ‘n aktiewe bewustheid of weerstand getoon rakende geleerde geslagsrolle nie. Hulle het skynbaar nie hierdie geslagsrolle as problematies, of beperkend gesien nie. Hulle het ook nie aangedui dat hulle alternatiewe geslagsrol idees het nie. Dit word gedeeltelik toegeskryf aan armoede en lae vlakke van onderrig wat mense se toegang tot alternatiewe geslagsrolle en perspektiewe beperk Godsdiens en gemeenskap invloede speel ook 'n belangrike rol in hul begrip van hul rol as lewensmaat. Alhoewel Christenskap tradisionele geslag idees onderskryf, het die deelnemers gevoel dat hulle godsdienstige oortuigings en praktyke intieme ervarings fasiliteer, asook die misbruik van alkohol en huishoudelike geweld verhoed. Dit impliseer dat godsdiens bydra by tot die skepping en instandhouding van manlikheid en vroulikheid idees in hierdie gemeenskap. Ten slotte, is implikasies vir beleid en praktyk in terme van geslagsongelykheid en alkoholmisbruik bespreek, asook die beperkinge van die studie.

This purpose of this study was to combine two bodies of literature on relationships, attachment and violence. Given the impact of men's physical aggression and emotional abuse on women, it is likely that these behaviors would also affect attachment. A model proposing that women's attachment style mediated and moderated the relationship between partners' physical and emotional abuse and the stability of women's relationships was tested. Archival data were used from two waves of interviews with a sample of lowincome, ethnically diverse community women. Most (89%) of the initial 835 participants of Project HOW: Health Outcomes of Women completed at least one additional interview providing information on the status of their initial relationships. Of these women, 39% were African American, 30% were Euro-American, and 31% were Mexican American. The effects of men's psychological abuse and physical violence on women's attachment style were tested with regression analyses. The interrelationships between partners' abuse, attachment and relational stability were tested with SEM. Attachment style was expected to moderate the associations among variables and mediate the impact of partners' negative behavior on relational stability. In regression analyses, partners' psychological abuse predicted avoidant and anxious, but not secure attachment ratings. Violence, although significant, explained less variance than psychological abuse for insecure attachment ratings. SEM indicated Physical Aggression was not a significant predictor of Attachment Rating in any group. Moderation was not found. There were no differences between attachment groups. Therefore, attachment was tested in the sample as a mediator. As in analyses for each group, the path from Physical Aggression to Attachment Rating was not significant. In the final model, Emotional Abuse predicted Physical Aggression and Attachment Rating mediated the effect of Emotional Abuse on Relational Stability. Specifically, Emotional Abuse increased (insecure) Attachment Rating, which decreased Relational Stability. Overall, previous research in the violence literature was extended by showing that emotional abuse affected attachment, rather than the reverse.
