Summary: This paper aims to understand the meaning of the expression “making life better” in an industrialized region of Vale do Ave, considering the changes during the 1960s-1970s in Portugal and in the long term. It addresses, particularly, the expectations of improvement in living conditions that this expression condenses, conveying ideas about the future, against a past in which life “didn’t run forward”, and a life in which one has “always worked” to “keep earning a living”. It is argued that the “work” implied in this expression reflects a tension between the need to “making a living” and the aspirations towards a “good life”, articulating economy, value and time.

Considera, particularmente, as expectativas de melhoria das condições de vida que esta expressão condensa, traduzindo ideias de futuro, perante um passado onde a vida “não corria para a frente”, e na qual se “trabalhou sempre” para “ir ganhando a vida”. Argumenta-se que o “trabalho” implicado nesta expressão reflete uma tensão entre a necessidade de “ganhar a vida” e as aspirações a uma “vida boa”, articulando economia, valor e tempo.Instituto de Ciências Sociais da Universidade de Lisboa2022-12-30info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttps://doi.org/10.31447/AS00032573.2022245.08https://doi.org/10.31447/AS00032573.2022245.08Análise Social; Vol. 57 N.º 245 (2022); 796-8232182-29990003-2573reponame:Repositórios Científicos de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (RCAAP)instname:FCCN, serviços digitais da FCT – Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologiainstacron:RCAAPporhttps://revistas.rcaap.pt/analisesocial/article/view/29587https://revistas.rcaap.pt/analisesocial/article/view/29587/21118Direitos de Autor (c) 2022 Análise Socialinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessRei, Mariana2024-03-23T05:36:38Zoai:ojs.revistas.rcaap.pt:article/29587Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireinfo@rcaap.ptopendoar:https://opendoar.ac.uk/repository/71602025-05-28T10:51:29.083495Repositórios Científicos de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (RCAAP) - FCCN, serviços digitais da FCT – Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologiafalse
