MORCILLO, Santiago. Family jewels: Secrets, gender and money in the affective and family bonds of women who perform commercial sex. Apunt. investig. CECYP [online]. 2017, n.29, pp.48-67. ISSN 1851-9814.

This article addresses the link between prostitution and secrecy within the context of the afective and family relationships of women who perform commercial sex. The sexual market is currently a morally questioned area, which almost always operates in clandestinity and illegality. Secrecy is a key to understand the experiences of women who are engaged in sex trade as it is present in their daily lives and often represents the main tactic to avoid stigmatization. Sexuality and money constitute, inside and outside the sexual market, two spheres where the circulation of information is usually jealously regulated, that means, fertile felds for secrets. The family - an institution that controls and manages sexualities and money- constitutes an strategic point to read the discourses of women engaged in commercial sex. Based on the feldwork carried out in three Argentine cities (San Juan, Buenos Aires and Rosario) and an incipient virtual ethnography, the aim of this article is to understand how these women face the complexities of afective and family ties from a position marked by the "whore stigma" and a displacement of legitimate women's roles.

Palavras-chave : Secret; family; afections; prostitution.
