Abstract
Con este trabajo se ha pretendido realizar una aproximación a cómo es el cortejo, la preparación para el cortejo, el amor y la relación de pareja en un grupo de mujeres y hombres jóvenes pertenecientes a Comas, distrito popular de Lima Norte. El área concreta de estudio corresponde a La Balanza, un barrio pobre situado en los cerros, en la “parte alta”, la de menor nivel socioeconómico y estatus del distrito. La investigación está basada en un trabajo de campo realizado de forma discontinua entre los años 2010 y 2012. Para su desarrollo fueron claves la observación participante y las entrevistas en profundidad realizadas a 26 jóvenes -13 mujeres y 13 hombres- de entre 18 y 30 años de edad, y a 6 adultos -2 mujeres y 4 hombres- de entre 36 y 51 años. Estos adultos, habituados a relacionarse con jóvenes, se seleccionaron como informantes complementarios, con el fin de contar con más puntos de vista que fortalecieran los datos obtenidos a través de los jóvenes. Entre los jóvenes de Comas predomina un cortejo que ha sido denominado “común” o “clásico”. Se caracteriza por perseguir la formación de la pareja y por ser el hombre quien figura como la parte más activa. Los jóvenes anhelan que este cortejo perdure a lo largo de toda la relación porque ofrece cosas como el factor sorpresa, las expectativas, los detalles o el cuidado. El cortejo necesita un proceso previo de selección, un primer encuentro, que suele ocurrir en cualquier espacio de Comas. Se distinguen lugares estratégicos y lugares inesperados para el cortejo. Los amigos facilitan el proceso del cortejo por medio de presentaciones y proporcionando cierta seguridad en un contexto considerado inseguro. Para conseguir pareja, los jóvenes prefieren un cortejo lento, con varios pasos a seguir; uno de los más notorios es la declaración de amor o la petición de formar pareja. La duración del cortejo se asocia a la duración de la pareja. Paralelo a este, surge un “nuevo cortejo” mucho más rápido, con relaciones sexuales sin que medie un espacio de tiempo, en el cual la mujer puede aparecer como parte activa...
The main purpose of this research is to recognize the courtship, its knowledge, love and relationship among a group of young men and women living in Comas, a working-class neighborhood in the northern area of Lima. The specific study area is called La Balanza, a poor neighborhood located among the “upper area” of the hills, with the lowest socioeconomic status and level. This research is based in an intermittent field work made between the years 2010 and 2012. To carry out this research, observation and detailed interviews to 26 young people (13 women and 13 men) among 18 and 30 years old, and to 6 adults (2 women and 4 men) among 36 and 51 years old, were really important. Those adults, who are used to interact with young people, were selected as complementary informants in order to get more points of view strengthening the data obtained from the young people. Among the young people in Comas prevails a courtship called “usual” or “classic”. It is defined by the pursuit of couple training and men having the more active role in the relationship. Young men desire this courtship to live on during the whole relationship because they offer elements as surprise, expectation, details or care. Courtship needs a previous process of selection, a first meeting that can be anywhere inside Comas. Strategic and unexpected places are differentiated for courtship. Friends may help in the courtship process through introductions and giving certain security among a context considered insecure. Young men prefer a slow courtship in order to have a partner; it may have a lot of steps to follow: the most commonly noted is the declaration of love or the request to be a couple. The length of courtship is associated with the length of the couple...
