O invisível salta aos olhos: emoções dolorosas e a vida afetiva das universitárias

Abstract

The current work seeks analysing the affectionate-sexual trajectory of the female university students, with the intent of pursuing how women at this age of youth signify their affectionate relationships with the opposite sex. Our objective is to theorize about the presence of hurtful emotions (guilt, fear, shame, hate, humilition, etc.) as an indicative of conflict and gender inequality. Through etnographic work, we seek to have Uberlândia’s Federal University as our analysis lab, applying Bourdieu’s theoretical tools — habitus, cultural capital, field and suffering/symbolic violence — to the reality in question. To accomplish the semi-structered narrative interviews, we prefered female students that actively are members of academic entities of different graduations, such as Academy Center and Directory, Academic Athletic Associations, University Bands and Student Republics.
