Resumo: | The present investigation, has the purpose to analyze the vulnerabilities that affect middle class families, pursuing the comprehension of the dimensions related to economical crisis, income and family breakdown, social disqualification and social suffering.This work was based, as one of the main theoretical axes of research, in Serge Paugam's essay on the new poverty. Based on this concept as representation and analytical category, a proposal was made to re-read the concept of social disqualification faced to the challenges of the middle class in the face of the contemporary economic crisis.This empirical research adopts a qualitative approach and is based on twenty interviews of middle-class citizens who experience or experienced social disqualification. The interviews have the principle of maximum heterogeneity. To apply coding and categorization, it was used MAXQDA software for the analysis of qualitative data.This research suggests we are facing citizens who deviate from the attributes pointed out by the literature to the middle class, as a result of the trajectories of downward social mobility or stagnant upward mobility caused by the processes of economic and social vulnerability to which they were subjected.All the interviewees suffered from processes of downward social mobility or dynamics of stagnant ascensional mobility, and that a large part of the citizens do not seek for social services, mobilizing support networks and family solidarity instead. |

Este trabalho baseou-se, como um dos principais eixos teo?ricos de pesquisa, no ensaio de Serge Paugam sobre a nova pobreza. Partindo deste conceito como representac?a?o e categoria anali?tica, elaborou-se uma proposta de releitura do conceito de desqualificac?a?o social perante os desafios da classe me?dia face a? crise econo?mica contempora?nea. A pesquisa adotou uma estratégia de cariz qualitativo, com base em entrevistas a cidadãos de classe média que experienciaram no presente e passado recentes processos de desqualificação social, tendo sido reunido um corpus de vinte entrevistas com base no princípio da máxima heterogeneidade. No que se refere à codificação e categorização utilizou-se o software MAXQDA para a análise de dados qualitativos.Os dados recolhidos indiciam que estamos perante cidadãos que se afastam dos atributos apontados pela literatura à classe média, em consequência das trajetórias de mobilidade social descendente ou mobilidade ascensional estagnada provocadas pelos processos de vulnerabilização económica e social a que foram submetidos. Esta investigação permitiu ainda concluir que todos os entrevistados sofreram processos de mobilidade social descendente ou exposição a dinâmicas de mobilidade ascensional estagnada, evidenciando-se que uma grande parte dos cidadãos não recorre aos serviços de apoio e ação social, mobilizando preferencialmente as redes de apoio e solidariedade familiar.Ludomedia2021-07-08info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttps://doi.org/10.36367/ntqr.9.2021.21-33https://doi.org/10.36367/ntqr.9.2021.21-33New Trends in Qualitative Research; Vol. 9 (2021): Qualitative Research in Social Sciences: Advances and Challenges; 21-33New Trends in Qualitative Research; Vol. 9 (2021): Investigación cualitativa en ciencias sociales: avances y desafíos; 21-33New Trends in Qualitative Research; Vol. 9 (2021): Investigação Qualitativa em Ciências Sociais: avanços e desafios; 21-332184-777010.36367/ntqr.9.2021reponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAPporhttps://publi.ludomedia.org/index.php/ntqr/article/view/345https://publi.ludomedia.org/index.php/ntqr/article/view/345/348Catarina Vieira da SilvaFrancisco Brancoinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2023-08-13T09:13:00Zoai:ojs.publi.ludomedia.org:article/345Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-19T15:48:09.275617Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse |
