TITLE:

Domestic Workers as Subjects of History: Resistance and Knowledge forged in Border Struggles

PAGES: 150

SUBÁREA: Outras Sociologias Específicas
SUMMARY:

From the domestic workers' struggles for recognition and equal rights emerge actions of resistance and epistemic disobedience that show the strategic role of this labor force for the maintenance of human life. In response to the social hierarchies that surround them, whether by their location in the field of social reproduction or by class, gender, and race codifications, domestic workers elaborate knowledge that rehabilitates them as subjects of history. The class movement or organization, as they claim, counts on several supports, partnerships, and articulations with organizations and social movements; however, what gives a basis to the reading of the world and to political action is the reality in which they live, the ground they walk on, and the knowledge they collectively elaborate. For the purposes of this research, I seek to understand how these elements are enunciated in the speeches of Creuza Maria de Oliveira, a leader who has been at the head of the National Federation of Domestic Workers (Fenatrad); currently she is the president of the Union of Domestic Workers in the State of Bahia (Sindoméstico/BA). The objective is to investigate the construction of her thought, umbilically linked to her trajectory as a black woman, domestic worker since childhood, and her combative posture as spokesperson for the category. The material is put in conversation with theoretical contributions that problematize the expropriation of the capacities of feminine and/or racialized bodies inscribed in the institutional division between economic production and reproduction, precisely the place from where both the contradictions of the capitalist system and the potential sources of transformation, the so-called "frontier struggles," emerge. Besides the conversations with my interlocutor, initiated in the first quarter of 2021, and the bibliographical survey that goes back to the beginning of the formal organization of the movement in the 1930s, the research procedures encompass field records resulting from the follow-up of meetings and national congresses, comprised in the period from March 2021 to November 2022 and in which representatives of the unions of Bahia and Fenatrad had seats.
