Abstract:Partindo de um fenômeno cada vez mais comum na União Europeia-a presença de trabalhadoras domésticas migrantes não-legalizadas nas afluentes casas europeias-, Encarnación Gutiérrez-Rodríguez, professora de Estudos Transculturais da Universidade de Manchester, explora a interface entre trabalho doméstico, política migratória, feminização do trabalho, colonialidade do poder, trabalho afetivo e ética decolonial.

“…As for the non‐recognition of domestic work as what the author has termed ‘affective work’, Bernardino‐Costa (2012) goes further, situating the discussion about domestic work in a scope that goes beyond the exclusively Brazilian dynamics. The author locates the effects of coloniality from a perspective in which Brazilians live in a context that sustains the pattern of power that operates within that coloniality, as they are in the Global South but not in the unrecognized and hyperbolic ‘America’: … when we find that the foundation of economic, racial and gender inequalities is the pattern of power based on the coloniality of power, which (in)forms a social imaginary about the nations of the European Union, the political struggle cannot be bounded by issues such as wage improvement.…”

This article proposes a debate about the situation of Brazilian housemaids in the context of the COVID‐19 pandemic to expand the discussion on this scenario and link it structurally to racism and the history of colonialism, from the perspective of its successful project of establishing racial inequalities and relegating Black women to the most vulnerable conditions. As staying at home is not a choice for these women, the suppression of the right to life reflects how the necropolitics against Black Brazilians operates. In Brazil, the naturalization of this form of violence finds great support in a mixture of affection and inequality relationships, in a context in which domestic workers, specifically housemaids, figure as the memory of Black mothers, that is, the enslaved women of the colonial period, coming from the African diaspora. This memory is associated with the whiteness naturalization of the subordinate status of Black women.

“…Contrapondo-se a esta visão romântica, alguns estudos historiográficos e sociológicos indicam que o cuidado desenvolveu-se e desenvolve-se sob fortes tensões e conflitos, em cenários nos quais de misturam vínculos de afeto, exploração e violência (Bernardino-Costa, 2012;Machado, 2012;Souza, 2012), e com desfechos quase sempre desfavoráveis às trabalhadoras.…”

Este artigo tem por intento observar como a raça, enquanto categoria social, constituise como eixo articulador da organização social do trabalho doméstico e de cuidado no Brasil. Iniciamos o texto com a retomada de discussões sobre a Divisão Sexual do Trabalho, tendo em conta a produção dos estudos feministas e de gênero que se ocupam da temática. Dando prosseguimento, procuramos apreender a associação simbólica das mulheres negras ao servir e ao cuidar em uma narrativa largamente aceita sobre a identidade nacional. Adiante, fazemos uma apresentação de dados sobre a associação das mulheres negras ao trabalho doméstico. Finalmente, nos debruçamos sobre reflexões, conexões e caminhos interpretativos possíveis.
AbstractThis article aims to observe race -understood as a social category -as an axes along of which domestic labor and the work of care are structured in Brazil. First, we resume the recent debate on Sexual Division of Labor, taking into account feminist and gender studies and propositions. Next, we seek to grasp the symbolic association of black women to servitude and care work in a widely accepted narrative about national identity. Following, we present data on the association of black women to domestic labor. Finally, we present some considerations, connections and possible interpretive paths.Palavras-chave: cuidado; trabalho doméstico; gênero; raça; mulheres negras.
“…A primazia da familiaridade e da proximidade entre brancos e negros -que caracterizam a descrição freyriana das relações sociais brasileiras e que teriam sido forjadas na casagrande -emerge mediante a supressão da complexidade das relações pessoais entre os sujeitos da família branca patriarcal e os escravos domésticos, sobretudo com as escravas domésticas. Contrapondo-se a esta visão romântica, alguns estudos historiográficos e sociológicos indicam que o cuidado desenvolveu-se e desenvolve-se sob fortes tensões e conflitos, em cenários nos quais de misturam vínculos de afeto, exploração e violência (Bernardino-Costa, 2012;Machado, 2012;Souza, 2012), e com desfechos quase sempre desfavoráveis às trabalhadoras.…”
