“…The aim of gender history as intersecting with labour history is, in addition to uncovering neglected stories, to question established concepts, definitions and periodisation, by mapping the range of gendered experiences and gender-driven socio-economic developments. This includes unsettling the very definitions of work, and, crucially, undoing the dichotomies of private/public spheres and waged/unwaged labour on which much traditional labour history and activism was built (Sarti, Bellavitis and Martini 2018). Gendered histories have aimed to propose new, more encompassing and more historically precise definitions of work, including revised periodisations and the consideration of different actors, practices and places of work.…”

This introduction to the special issue ‘Gender and Work in Twentieth-Century Italy’ draws on key strands of historical scholarship on gender and work, including women workers’ experiences, labour market discrimination, domestic work, the impact of gender norms, and ideas of masculinity and femininity on work identities. It traces the development of feminist influence within this scholarship, from making women workers’ experiences visible to challenging essentialist notions of gender identities. Drawing on post-structuralist and intersectional perspectives, particularly influenced by Joan Wallach Scott and Judith Butler, the scholarship on which this special issue is based understands gender as a system of power signified through language and social constructions, and builds on the critique of the dichotomies and essentialisations of traditional labour history, proposing a systemic and structural approach to understanding gendered experiences of work. By exploring the intersections of gender, work and power, this collection offers insights into wider European developments and challenges established historical concepts and narratives. It highlights the importance of understanding gender dynamics in shaping labour relations and social structures, ultimately contributing to a more nuanced understanding of labour and power dynamics in twentieth-century Italy and beyond.

“…Work is a polysemic term describing a particular social organization where someone performs tasks, acts, or actions. It is associated with exhaustion (e.g., labor primarily means "toil"), and the performed task generally involves retributions (Sarti et al, 2018). Therefore, because people are assigned to perform tasks in a stricter and more normative context, they are generally less outgoing and demonstrative than in other situations.…”

BackgroundAccording to the Big Five theory, personality can be classified into five traits (i.e., extraversion, neuroticism, conscientious-ness, agreeableness, and openness), and past research showed that situations impact personality. In the present study, (1) we measured which of these five personality traits changed according to different situations and (2) tested whether the across-situation variability (ASV; i.e., a continuous variable showing how much people change their personality traits ac-cording to situations) was significantly connected with specific personality domains, revealing a potential marker of person-ality disturbance.Participants and procedureWe recruited 80 participants (40 women) to complete the five situation-version (family, work, friends, romantic partner, and hobbies/leisure) of the Big Five Inventory to measure whether personality traits significantly changed across these situa-tions. In addition, we ran a network analysis to reveal how the ASV is related to personality traits.ResultsThe findings showed that all traits significantly changed across the situations, except openness, which remained stable. The network analysis revealed that the ASV variable was especially connected with conscientiousness (in romantic partner and family situations).ConclusionsMost personality traits were flexible, showing how important it is to consider the role of situations in the study of personal-ity. Openness appeared to be particularly stable and understanding its nature represents a challenge for future studies. Final-ly, the network analysis demonstrated that the ASV shows specific connections with conscientiousness and might be a potential psychopathology marker.

“…Estos desarrollos teóricos se centraron en cuestionar la exclusión del trabajo doméstico del dominio económico, llamando la atención sobre la histórica asimilación entre trabajo y trabajo remunerado y abriendo así el espacio para la consideración de todas las formas de trabajo (Delfino, 2012;Federici, 2018;Pérez Orozco, 2014). A su vez, han documentado los modos en que lo que es considerado -o no-trabajo no es estático, sino que cambia de una sociedad a otra y de un contexto histórico a otro (Sarti et al, 2018).…”

La ciencia como objeto de conocimiento ha sido una preocupación central de las ciencias sociales desde las primeras décadas del siglo xx. Sin embargo, el mismo objeto no resulta estático ni invariable sino que fue transformado a lo largo del tiempo. En las últimas décadas, el abordaje innovador de los estudios de género ha ganado considerable lugar en los estudios sociales de la ciencia. Si bien algunos de ellos han prestado atención a las relaciones del campo profesional con el ámbito familiar y han indagado los modos en que los factores estructurales del curso de vida juegan un papel importante en las carreras de investigación, aún son escasos los aportes teóricos y empíricos que piensen a la ciencia como trabajo productivo altamente articulado con la reproducción social. Aunque este eje de investigación es incipiente en los estudios sociales de la ciencia, se encuentra consolidado dentro de las ciencias sociales de la mano de los estudios del trabajo y la economía feminista. Enmarcándonos en estos tres campos, el presente escrito procura realizar una revisión de la literatura existente y una aproximación conceptual para la comprensión del trabajo científico y sus articulaciones con el trabajo de reproducción tomando al género como categoría de análisis. El escrito se encuentra organizado en cinco partes: en el primer apartado realizaremos un recorrido sobre las críticas al concepto de trabajo heredado de la modernidad y nos enfocaremos en pensar la ciencia como trabajo; en el segundo apartado abordaremos los procesos de reproducción social en clave de articulación con el trabajo productivo; en el tercero repasaremos los estudios de género y ciencia; en el cuarto realizaremos una aproximación sobre la forma en que opera esta propuesta conceptual para el estudio empírico; finalmente, presentaremos una sistematización de lo abordado a lo largo del escrito.
