Trabajo de cuidado: mercantilización y desvalorización
(Universidad Icesi, 2019-08-01) Pineda D., Javier A.
Based on the conceptual turn of care that has taken place in the last decade in Latin America, this article presents, for the Colombian case, the increasing commodification of care activities and argues that this process has not only been highly feminized but has also led to new forms of devaluation of care and women’s work. In general, this process is evidenced in the domestic service of paid care in family and, specifically, in the work of institutionalized care of the elderly, based on both quantitative and qualitative sources.
Transporte, capital temporal y género
(Universidad Icesi, 2019-08-01) Amaya Castro, Juan M.
This text analyzes the ways in which a group of female workers in the city of Bogotá are part of a set of specific spatio-temporal dynamics, giving their experience in public transportation. The basis for these dynamics lies on the conception of time as a value, as an essential investment that shapes the rest of the aspects related to the lives of these women. Time, then, revolves around two centers of gravity: work – in its various forms – and transportation. These centers of gravity are nodes in the organization of their daily lives. However, commuting undertakes this role because of its own indeterminacy. It is neither a spatio-temporal context that is part of work, even if it is necessary for this purpose, nor it is “leisure-time”. This indeterminacy leads us to the question of what role does labor law play in these dynamics; if it is not working time, nor leisure-time, then… whose time is it?
Trayectorias de mujeres en el hip-hop: reproducción de la vida en itinerarios de trabajo artístico
(Universidad Icesi, 2019-08-01) Pinzón Díaz, Fabian Esteban
The reality of the right to work of popular artists challenges the traditional frameworks of labor law. Based on life stories as a source of knowledge, we review the work itineraries of two hip-hop popular artists. We present the complexity of their careers and the different relationships they build in different social circles. In these spaces, we find different forms of accumulation of capital and knowledge and the development of collective strategies for the reproduction of life that respond to social protection necessities. In the light of these women experiences, the article discusses the precarious working conditions offered to artists through entrepreneurial initiatives promoted by the State and international cooperation.
“Yo me defiendo”: entendiendo la informalidad laboral a partir del trabajo de las mujeres mototaxistas en Barranquilla, Colombia
(Universidad Icesi, 2019-08-01) Castro, María Victoria
Through the lens of the subjective experience of women who drive moto-taxis in Barranquilla, Colombia, this article explores the interaction between labor informality, precarious working conditions, and gender. Based on the information obtained from in-depth interviews, ethnographic observation, and focus groups, the article questions the usual approaches to city, gender, and labor informality to the extent that they do not represent properly the subjective experiences of the workers, they flatten the analysis of the differential consequences for women in this type of work, and they produce images of insecurity and instability that are not necessarily perceived by these women.
