Produção e reprodução, casa e trabalho

Based on an analysis of the relation between home and work, and the meaning of this relation for care practices, the article develops a critique of Betty Friedan arguments in the book The feminine mystique, taken as an ironic continuation of the Marxist project of reducing the emancipation of women to getting a job outside the home. Assuming an opposition between care and work, love and money, certain feminists have turned their back on domestic work. However the organized movement of household workers, which campaigns for legal recognition of their work, has underlined the interconnection between social reproduction and production. At the same time, theorists have questioned the work ethic based on a productivist paradigm of social life.Com base na análise da relação entre casa e trabalho, e do significado dessa relação para a prática do cuidado, o artigo desenvolve uma crítica aos argumentos de Betty Friedan no livro A mística feminina, entendido como uma irônica continuidade do projeto marxista de reduzir a emancipação das mulheres à obtenção de um emprego fora de casa. Assumindo uma oposição entre cuidado e trabalho, amor e dinheiro, certas feministas renegaram o trabalho doméstico. Entretanto, o movimento organizado das trabalhadoras em domicílio, que luta pelo reconhecimento legal de seu trabalho, tem sublinhado a interconexão entre reprodução social e produção; ao mesmo tempo, teóricos têm questionado a ética do trabalho assentada num paradigma produtivista da vida social

De las mujeres al género y más allá: las entretejidas trayectorias de la historia de las mujeres y los estudios feministas

En la década de 1980 los Estudios de las mujeres o con perspectiva de género y la historia de las mujeres o con perspectiva de género parecían estar más cercanos de lo que subsiguientemente han devenido. Aquí, me pregunto, ¿pueden los Estudios de las mujeres o con perspectiva de género o feministas ser historizados y puede la historia ser teorizada por la teoría queer y feminista de un modo que ilumine el pasado en sus propios términos y no meramente hable del presente o del futuro? Considero las prácticas de citado y subcampos a la luz de tendencias intelectuales más amplias, especialmente el trabajo del feminismo negro. Al explorar esta pregunta, me vuelvo hacia cómo cada campo piensa acerca del tiempo y el archivo, términos que funcionan como analíticos para iluminar interrogantes sobre poder y autoridad, identidad y agencia, pero desplegados por investigadorxs feministas interdisciplinarixs de formas que no son siempre legibles para historiadorxs tradicionales. Concluyo tanto con finales de reconciliación y alternativa a la luz de los ataques sobre ambos campos.In the 1980s Women’s/Gender/Studies and Women’s/Gender/History seemed closer to each other than they subsequently have become. Here I ask, Can Women’s/Gender/Feminist Studies be historicized and can history be theorized by queer and feminist theory in ways that illuminates the past on its own terms and not merely speak to the present or the future? I consider citational practices and subfields in light of larger intellectual trends, especially work in Black feminism. Exploring this question, I turn to how each field thinks about time and the archive, terms that function as analytics to illuminate questions of power and authority, identity and agency, but deployed by interdisciplinary feminist scholars in ways not always legible to traditional historians. I end with both reconciliation and alternative endings in light of attacks on both fields

‘Indispensable to All Working Women and to Mothers in the Home.’ Global Labor Standards and the Quest for Social Justice, 1919-2019

The binary productive and reproductive labor –what the International Labour Organization (ILO) has called work and family responsibilities– cordoned off care from employment. Until the 2000s, paid care work mostly stood outside of ILO deliberations, while unpaid family care became a concern as a means to enhance labor force participation and thus reinforce the valuing of care as a special kind of activity. This analysis traces the construction of the woman worker under global labor standards by focusing on ‘All Working Women’ and ‘Mothers in the Home’ to complicate feminist discussions of equality

Mercado Laboral en las Instituciones del Gobierno Central de El Salvador y su Capacidad de Inserción a Graduados de Relaciones Internacionales de la Universidad de El Salvador en el periodo 2010-2017.

La investigación se basa en conocer sobre el mercado laboral dentro de las Instituciones Públicas del Gobierno de El Salvador y la capacidad de inserción que éstas tienen al absorber a los profesionales graduados de la carrera de Relaciones Internacionales específicamente de la Universidad de El Salvador. Para ello, la investigación se divide en III Capítulos, en el Capítulo I se plasma la historia de cómo la Universidad de El Salvador introdujo la carrera de Relaciones Internacionales en su oferta académica; además, se expone en qué consiste la disciplina de Relaciones Internacionales y el papel que está juga dentro del Sistema Internacional, los Actores Internacionales que son parte fundamental en el objeto de estudio de la disciplina de RR.II., se da a conocer la formación académica que el profesional recibió durante los cinco años de formación y el perfil profesional adquirido. El Capítulo II aborda la metodología con la cual será tratada la investigación y el nivel de estudio que se usó, de la misma forma el espacio muestral donde se abordó la temática, que son las 25 Instituciones del Gobierno Central según la división que hace el Ministerio de Hacienda y los profesionales graduados en el periodo 2010 –2017, se aborda el nuevo desarrollismo que es la teoría económica que plantea la transformación de la estructura productiva de países subdesarrollados. Se profundiza en el conocimiento de las 25 Instituciones y el análisis de las entrevistas para luego contrastar con la realidad de los profesionales de RR.II. En el capítulo III se describen limitantes, los obstáculos con los que se enfrentan los profesionales de RR.II en su inserción laboral en las Instituciones; además, se plantean recomendaciones y conclusiones que podrían ayudar para darle un nuevo giro a la carrera de RR.II en las UES

The Seventh Data Release of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey

This paper describes the Seventh Data Release of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS), marking the completion of the original goals of the SDSS and the end of the phase known as SDSS-II. It includes 11663 deg^2 of imaging data, with most of the roughly 2000 deg^2 increment over the previous data release lying in regions of low Galactic latitude. The catalog contains five-band photometry for 357 million distinct objects. The survey also includes repeat photometry over 250 deg^2 along the Celestial Equator in the Southern Galactic Cap. A coaddition of these data goes roughly two magnitudes fainter than the main survey. The spectroscopy is now complete over a contiguous area of 7500 deg^2 in the Northern Galactic Cap, closing the gap that was present in previous data releases. There are over 1.6 million spectra in total, including 930,000 galaxies, 120,000 quasars, and 460,000 stars. The data release includes improved stellar photometry at low Galactic latitude. The astrometry has all been recalibrated with the second version of the USNO CCD Astrograph Catalog (UCAC-2), reducing the rms statistical errors at the bright end to 45 milli-arcseconds per coordinate. A systematic error in bright galaxy photometr is less severe than previously reported for the majority of galaxies. Finally, we describe a series of improvements to the spectroscopic reductions, including better flat-fielding and improved wavelength calibration at the blue end, better processing of objects with extremely strong narrow emission lines, and an improved determination of stellar metallicities.
