Abstract

GUELMAN, Anahí; PALUMBO, María Mercedes  and  LEZCANO, María Laura. Contexts and areas of community care work: an intersectional perspective of popular movements. Estud. trab. [online]. 2021, n.62, pp.25-54. ISSN 0327-5744.

This article is aimed at analyzing community care work developed by female workers in popular movements in the context of the socio-economic crisis during Cambiemos Alliance (2015-2019) and its evolution in the new political scenario and the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic in Argentina. To this end, a corpus of empirical data obtained from a partnership work with the Movimiento Nacional Campesino Indígena Buenos Aires is examined. This paper inquiries about the community work contexts, the areas and matters involved in care tasks (food, health, children training and support networks to victims of gender-based violence) and the community nature that they assume in popular movements. We adopt an approach based on the feminist perspective of care economy in dialogue with the intersectional analysis that situates care and female carers in an articulated framework of gender, race and social class.

Keywords : Care work; Gender; Community; Intersectionality.
