Lidando com a violência: a construção e transmissão de repertórios de segurança entre prostitutas

Abstract

In this work I discuss the multiple forms of violence that prostitutes are subjected to in different workplaces in the city of Belo Horizonte; and the different repertoires of techniques they develop to deal with it. These safety repertoires represent a fundamental part of their professional knowledge and are usually created and transmitted during sex work. This knowledge, its use and its sharing among prostitution women varies according to their place of work. This dissertation is an investigation of how the knowledge related to the safety of street prostitutes, nightclubs and the zonas of Belo Horizonte are created, used and transmitted
