The subject of my study is female prostitution in nightclubs. Based on the results of anethnographic research conducted in Italy, the phenomenon is described, highlightingcertain aspects: roles and organizational structures, relational dynamics, emotionallabor, prostitute/client interactions, communication codes and gender differences.The main findings of my research are: a) there are specific subcultures within thephenomenon of prostitution; b) the subculture of prostitution has important connectionswith and elements of integration into the dominant culture; c) nightclubsare heterotopies (Foucault) that, depending on the time period and culture, becomeplaces of cultural innovation and experimentation or, on the contrary, places of conservationand reaction to the emancipation of women. The picture that emerges isthat of a complex and varied phenomenon which quickly transforms and adaptsitself to market needs, maintaining, however, a clear cultural horizon of reference.
