Afectividade e sexualidade no contexto escolar: um estudo de caso com as raparigas da Escola Secundaria da Maganja da Costa-Zambézia

Abstract

Sexuality, being a characteristic of individuals, has been analyzed taking into account the perspective according to which the meanings that structure affective relationships and practices sexual are provided by the culture. This work analyzes the extent to which the different categories created in a group's imagination are articulated in the construction of girls' affective and sexual relationships. Thus, from the content analysis of the speeches produced by the different interviewees, I illustrate two categories being that of “lived” and that of “child”. These categories, built within the group, taking into account the primacy of sexual and life experience on the part of girls in the choice of sexual partners. The preliminary results presented in this study allow to notice that the choices of sexual partners are guided by the valorization of one social status and neglect of the other, incorporated in two categories. The category "lived" incorporates values ​​that for the participants of this research bring advantages in relation to the category "child" that illustrates individuals with little or no sexual experience and without the capacity to sustain a sexual affective relationship.
