Abstract(s)
O presente estudo buscou caracterizar a vivência da paternidade em Portugal na atualidade, nos seus aspectos mais subjetivos. Tal conhecimento se faz útil, para clarificarmos a singularidade dessa experiência entre os homens e podermos contribuir para acelerar as mudanças de estereótipos sociais e culturais. Trata-se de um estudo qualitativo, onde foram realizadas entrevistas semiestruturadas com oito homens portugueses, entre os 38 e os 45 anos, casados ou em união de fato com uma mulher, com um/a filho/a entre 3 e 10 anos de idade. A análise dos dados foi desenvolvida com o método de Análise Temática. A partir dos resultados apresentados, pode-se visualizar mudanças no exercício e vivência da paternidade na atualidade em Portugal. Essas mudanças se referem principalmente ao lugar ocupado pelo pai nos cuidados e no desenvolvimento da criança. Dentro da amostra estudada, os pais ocupam o lugar de cuidadores, sem deixar de serem provedores. Ou seja, pais e mães ocupam lugares próximos no exercício da parentalidade, como cuidadores e provedores, dividindo esses papéis, que outrora, socialmente e culturalmente eram rigorosamente separados. Com isso, aspectos relacionados a vivência individual da paternidade, a relação e os cuidados com a criança, o papel da mãe, a relação coparental, a gestão familiar e a conciliação com as carreiras de ambos, pai e mãe, desenvolvem-se em uma dinâmica e contexto de desconstrução de estereótipos de gênero.
The purpose of the current study was to characterize the experience of fatherhood in Portugal today, in its subjective aspects. This knowledge is useful to clarify the uniqueness of this experience among men, and to contribute to accelerating changes in social and cultural stereotypes. This is a qualitative study, with semi-structured interviews realized with eight Portuguese men, between 38 and 45 years old, married or in common-law marriage with a woman, with a child between 3 and 10 years old. Data analysis was developed using the Thematic Analysis method. From the results obtained, it is possible to visualize changes in the exercise and experience of fatherhood today in Portugal. These changes highlight the role played by the father in the child's care and development. Within the studied sample, parents occupy the role of caregivers, without ceasing to be providers. In other words, fathers and mothers occupy close places in the exercise of parenting, as caregivers and providers, sharing these roles, which in the past, socially and culturally were strictly separated. With this, aspects related to the individual experience of fatherhood, the relationship and care with the child, the role of the mother, the coparental relationship, family management and reconciliation with the careers of both father and mother, develop in a dynamics and context of deconstruction of gender stereotypes.
