| Sumario: | This article aims to describe how the love of a poor and pregnant woman, Célia, was built and sustained for Tonico, a poor man, who she was not sure if he was a rapist but is the father of her son. Tonico met Célia in a “samba” in the Rio de Janeiro, while he was serving time in a semi-open prison. And it was about the crime he allegedly committed that he lied to her the most. Aiming to explain that lying is directly related to the production of the loving bond, I will first discuss some notions of love and then mobilize the one that seems closest to my data to discuss the notion of vulnerability, as well as that of lying and its effects. I describe the subjective costs of trying to love and believe in a fiancé who seems to lie all the time, aiming to suggest that love and lying are linked to the production of vulnerability. I argue that there is a link between love, lies and vulnerability, which, incited and marked by prison, produces a family in a specific way. |
