Abstract(s)
O aumento da utilização de tecnologias em relações interpessoais, tem mostrado o surgimento de novas formas de relacionamento, trazendo novos impactos às relações de intimidade. A presente dissertação visa analisar de que forma as tecnologias afetam as relações de intimidade, e se destacam para exercer poder e perpetuar relações abusivas. Esta pesquisa de cariz exploratória, adotou uma metodologia qualitativa, onde se analisaram vinte processos-crime de violência doméstica, registados no ano de 2023, envolvendo o uso de tecnologias de comunicação, nos quais a ocorrência se localizava geograficamente no distrito do Porto, em áreas de ação da Guarda Nacional Republicana. Recorreu-se a um instrumento de registo, que categoriza variáveis sociodemográficas, tecnologias envolvidas, motivações de uso, tipos de violência, papel das tecnologias e seus impactos, articulado com a análise das declarações forenses das vítimas e ofensores. O estudo revela que as tecnologias são frequentemente utilizadas como ferramentas de controlo, vigilância, assédio e ameaça nas relações de intimidade. As vítimas, maioritariamente do género feminino, sofrem violência psicológica, acompanhada de violência física e financeira. O estudo aborda o uso de abusivo de tecnologias em relações íntimas, marcado por ciúme, ameaças e vigilância, o que agrava o desequilíbrio de poder. Tal leva em muitos casos à intervenção judicial, a qual se mostra crucial para terminar essas relações, especialmente através de decisões como a proibição de contactos por meios tecnológicos, evidenciando o papel central da justiça na proteção das relações de intimidade.
The increased use of technologies in interpersonal relationships has come to show the emergence of new forms of relationships, bringing new impacts to intimate relationships. This dissertation aims to analyse how technologies affect intimate relationships, and how they stand out to exert power and perpetuate abusive relationships. This exploratory research adopted a qualitative method, where twenty criminal cases of domestic violence were analysed, registered in the year 2023, involving the use of communication technologies, in which the occurrence was geographically located in the Porto district, in areas of action of the Guarda Nacional Republicana. A registration instrument was used, which categorizes sociodemographic variables, technologies involved, motivations for use, types of violence, role of technologies and their impacts, articulated with the analysis of forensic statements from victims and offenders. The study reveals that technologies are often used as tools of control, surveillance, harassment and threat in intimate relationships. The victims, mostly female, suffer psychological violence, accompanied by physical and financial violence. The study addresses the abusive use of technologies in intimate relationships, marked by jealousy, threats and surveillance, which aggravates the power imbalance. Oftentimes, this leads to judicial intervention, which is crucial to ending these relationships, especially through decisions such as prohibiting contact via technological means, highlighting the central role of justice in protecting intimate relationships.
