Abstract(s)
A vanlife remete-nos para um estilo de vida emergente de nómadas que optam por
viver em carrinhas transformadas em casas. Este fenómeno tem vindo a ganhar cada vez mais
proeminência, com milhões de partilhas sobre o tema nas redes sociais. Vários são os fatores
que levam os vanlifers a escolher este estilo de vida, entre eles os altos preços de habitação e
a vontade de viver uma vida mais simples, renunciando a valores como o consumismo e o
capitalismo, e abraçando outros como a liberdade, o minimalismo e a sustentabilidade.
Apesar deste movimento ter vindo a ganhar cada vez mais seguidores, pouco se sabe acerca
das consequências psicológicas deste novo estilo de vida. Assim, esta dissertação propôs-se a
explorar as experiências psicológicas dos vanlifers, revelando-se um estudo pioneiro nesta
área. Foram distribuídos questionários a várias pessoas que vivem e viajam nas suas
carrinhas. Um total de 30 participantes (23 mulheres e 7 homens entre os 23-77 anos)
responderam a três perguntas de resposta aberta. Foi realizada uma análise temática de forma
a interpretar os dados, emergindo 3 temas e 13 sub-temas no que toca a transformações
sentidas pelos vanlifers. Entre as áreas mais afetadas encontram-se (1) a relação consigo
mesmo, (2) a relação com os outros, e (3) a relação com o mundo e a natureza.
ABSTRACT: Vanlife refers to an emerging lifestyle of nomads who choose to live in vans converted into homes. This phenomenon has been gaining increasing prominence, with millions of shares on the topic on social networks. Various factors lead vanlifers to choose this lifestyle, including high housing prices and the desire to live a simpler life, renouncing values such as consumerism and capitalism, and embracing others like freedom, minimalism, and sustainability. Despite this movement gaining more and more impact, little is known about the psychological consequences of this new lifestyle. Therefore, this dissertation aimed to explore the psychological experiences of vanlifers, proving to be a pioneering study in this area. Questionnaires were distributed to several people who live and travel in their vans. A total of 30 participants (23 women and 7 men, aged 23-77) answered three open-ended questions. A thematic analysis was carried out to interpret the data, with 3 main themes and 13 sub-themes emerging regarding the transformations felt by vanlifers. The most affected areas are (1) the relationship with oneself, (2) the relationship with others, and (3) the relationship with the world and nature.
