In this article, it is emphased the relational status of gender roles as expressed in the heart of the bohemia of Osorno city, around its fourth centenary, in 1958, especially in regard to prostitution. In addition, it links the development of bohemian activities with the economic context of those times, revealing his ambivalence but strong relationships.
