Dinâmicas afetivo-semióticas em relacionamentos amorosos-sexuais perpassados por violência

Abstract

This study aims to investigate how women who experience romantic-sexual relationships affected by violence and the meanings constructed from this experience. This is a narrative, qualitative, and ideographic study. Three women were interviewed about their romantic-sexual experiences, two in heteronormative relationships and one in a homosexual relationship. The results demonstrated the complexity of experiences of violence and the semiotic coexistence between the signs of love and abuse. Furthermore, it was established that violence is not an isolated event, but an ongoing process that directly impacts the process of self-regulation of the self and the sense of identity of abused women. The study was supported by Semiotic Cultural Psychology, offering new theoretical paths for approaching the phenomenon studied, producing theoretical models guided by the concepts of micro-ruptures, semiotic-pendulum movement, and simultaneous body.
