| Title | Pimps or boyfriends? The negotiation of intimacy and economic transfer by Hungarian sex workers in the Kurfuerstenstrasse |
| Summary | The aim of this ethnographic research is to investigate the negotiation of intimacy and economic transfer by Hungarian sex workers in the relationship with their pimp or boyfriend. I focus on the role of the Hungarian male third parties in Kurfürstenstraße in the life of sex workers and look at the trajectory of these intimate ties from the sex workers’ perspective. I describe various patterns of the relationship and analyze the complexity of social ties in the migrant community of Hungarian sex workers and pimps in the outdoor prostitution area. Based on the analysis of the mingling of intimacy and economic transfer in these relationships I reconceptualize the figure of the pimp. |
