Abstract

This article is about men and women´s affective experiences, specifically, about the extramarital relations as they are lived in the rural community called Terceira Margem, located in the state of Minas Gerais, Brasil. Denominated “affairs”, those relationships have implications not just on conjugal life but also on the wider dynamics of family and parenthood. To the extent that the “affairs” are related to the experiences of men and women, this work is about gender, field on which this work pretends make a contribution. The purpose here is to reconstruct the web of relationships and his rearrangements motivated by the “affairs”. From the analytic perspective adopted here, “affairs”, say not only about marriage and love but as well about passion, decontrol, gossip and avoidance.
