Abstract

SCHEINKMAN, Ludmila. From political history to gender studies: the historiography on the world of labor in the first half of the 20th century in Buenos Aires. Trab. soc. [online]. 2019, n.32, pp.281-305. ISSN 1514-6871.

The aim of this paper is to revisit the historiography on the world of workers in the years prior to the irruption of Peronism in Argentina, to ponder some of the parameters from which they have been looked at, and are studied again today. In order to do this we reconstruct the general outlines of the field's research, from the earliest militant interpretations to flourishment of social history. Secondly, we address the contribution that

gender studies have made to the historiography on male and female workers. Finally, we review the current trends in historiography, to propose some lines of analysis or possible bridges to think this field of studies from a social and cultural history revitalized by gender studies, to expand a notion of class that has been rigidly anchored to the productive space.

Keywords : historiography; Workers; labor movement; Left; Gender studies.
