Discordance between discourse and empirical reality regarding prostitution

Abstract
Based on the available empirical evidence, the theoretical validity of the regulationist model of prostitution is questioned. The dissonance between research with broad samples and standardized tests, and the regulatory thesis supported by exceptions, presents the model with a contradiction that it tries to solve with strategies of legitimation, inside and outside the academic sphere. The lay social imaginary has, however, incorporated its discursive categories taken from the neoliberal logic of the free market, as shown in the study carried out with students and the general population. The discourse articulated around an idealized, individualistic, and depoliticized conception of freedom has successfully impregnated the imaginary of the university population. In the structure of the representation of prostitution, a "soft or benevolent" legitimation dimension emerges, not present in the general population. The need arises for greater attention to the training processes of lay social imaginaries disconnected from empirical reality, and the need to appropriate "cross-linked fields" of knowledge to address the framework of the prostitution phenomenon.
