Entre o amor e dinheiro: as tramas cotidianas das transações econômicas

Abstract

This dissertation aims to understand how the intersection of money and love occurs in the context of intimacy, seeking to observe the possible consequences in the organization of the domestic budget, the division of household tasks, and power negotiations in relationships. In this way, the research proposes to understand the role of money in conjugality, that means, to identify how individuals perform their daily economic practices, and whether their actions intersect rationalities and emotions. For the materialization of this research, we use as theoretical contribution the economic sociology. Our data are results of a qualitative methodology, consisting of an interview with a therapist, the application of questionnaires with married persons or in a stable union, and finally a focus group with five women, seeking to understand the practices that involve the domestic budget, as well as the interweaving between money, emotions and calculations.
