RESUMO:

In this thesis I discuss the role of prostitution in the contemporary city, which is embeded in the society of control of capitalism, from the analysis of the Red Light District, in the Center of Amsterdam. The research was based on an ethnographic fieldwork, carried out between 2017 and 2018, whose collected data were crossed and articulated to the existing knoledge on the theme. From the analysis of policies regarding prostitution, I seek to highlight the historical presence of prostitution in the Red Light District, arguing that despite changes, ruptures, advances and setbacks, sex work helped to shape this area in terms of both urban morphology and the international image of the city. Next, I present an overview of this neighborhood and its main features, addressing other important issues in the area that helped shape it as it is nowadays. In 2007, Plan 1012 was launched under the justification that it would be necessary to fight crime in the neighborhood, clean it up and return it to the population. However, the analysis shows that its main objective was to enable private investments and improve the city's image, with an evident focus on tourism. The actions undertaken in the context of this plan have significantly changed the geography of prostitution and local dynamics, being an important milestone for prostitution in the city. Then, I make an analysis of the daily life of the prostitutes who work at the windows, how they deal with the demands imposed by the regulation, their tactics and their daily strategies to perform their work. Furthermore, I tension the issue of gender in the Red Light District, since there are no male sex workers at the windows. Finally, I point out the important role that the Internet has played in the context of prostitution, expanding the possibilities of work, in addition to changing the relationship between the city and those involved in prostitution.
