Resumo(s)
O trabalho sexual é um tópico, por vezes, esquecido dentro dos debates filosóficos
e políticos. No entanto, é um tema envolvido em várias questões. Questões estas que se
debruçam sobre o corpo, o trabalho, a moral, o sexo e a sexualidade. Debruçarmo-nos
sobre o trabalho sexual permite-nos refletir sobre estes aspetos, como estes afetam os
mecanismos de governação dos indivíduos e que efeitos isto provoca na nossa
consciência, individual e social, do que é o “normal”.
O objetivo final desta dissertação será procurar uma resposta à pergunta: “Serão
os tabus e os estigmas associados ao trabalho sexual politicamente legítimos?”. Para tal,
será necessário desenvolver, privilegiando a perspetiva da biopolítica, uma análise dos
mecanismos de regulação que se aplicam especificamente ao trabalho e ao sexo dos
indivíduos. A questão da “sexopolítica” será explorada, em particular, para compreender,
de modo mais aprofundado, a relação entre a regulação dos corpos e o sexo. Por último,
recorremos a um exemplo, o da prostituição, para explorar em concreto a abordagem
exposta.
Será possível concluir a viabilidade do trabalho sexual, ao compreender as
semelhanças com os restantes trabalhos físicos, o que nos permitirá explorar políticas que
garantam a dignidade, a autonomia e os direitos deste grupo de trabalhadores, que são
estigmatizados e marginalizados.
Sexual labour is a topic, sometimes, forgotten in philosophical and political debates. However, it is a theme surrounded by various questions. Such questions dwell about the body, labour, morals, sex and sexuality, thus, allowing us to reflect on these aspects, how they affect the governance mechanisms of individuals, and which effects this provokes on our individual and social conscience of what is “normal”. The final objective of this dissertation is to seek an answer to the question: “Are the taboos and the stigmas associated with sexual labour politically legitimate?”. To achieve this end, it will be necessary to develop (while privileging the standpoint of biopolitics) an analysis of the mechanisms of regulation that are applied specifically to the work and sex of the individuals. The question of “sexopolitics” will be explored, in particular, to understand, in a more profound manner, the relation between the bodies and the sex. Lastly, we turn to an example, prostitution, to explore in a precise scenario the discussed theory. It will be possible to conclude the viability of sexual labour, when comprehending its similarities with the remaining physical labours. This will allow us to explore politics that ensure the dignity, the autonomy and the rights of this group of workers, who are stigmatized and marginalized.
