Migration, Domestic Work and Affect

Global Domestic Workers
EPDF and EPUB available Open Access under CC-BY-NC licence. Drawing from the EU-funded DomEQUAL research project across 9 countries in Europe, South America and Asia, this comparative study explores the conditions of domestic workers around the world and the campaigns they are conducting to improve their labour rights. The book showcases how domestic workers’ movements put ‘intersectionality in action’ in representing the interest of various marginalized social groups from migrants and low-income groups to racialized and rural girls and women. Casting light on issues such as subjectification, and collective organizing on the part of a category of workers conventionally regarded as unorganizable, this ambitious volume will be invaluable for scholars, policy makers and activists alike.

Diversidad familiar. Una perspectiva antropológica
La familia es una institución universal que existe y ha existido en todas las sociedades conocidas, y cumple una función primordial en la reproducción social. Históricamente han coexistido diversos tipos de organización familiar, aunque en Occidente, la familia nuclear heterocentrada se ha erigido como la más funcional para los sistemas de producción económica, hasta el punto de ser considerada «natural». En la actualidad, los cambios sociales, culturales, económicos, políticos, tecnológicos, así como las demandas de la ciudadanía, han hecho tambalear las bases sobre las que se asienta la naturalidad de la familia nuclear heterosexual, cuestionando las formas alternativas de convivencia y los ordenamientos jurídicos nacionales e internacionales.

Migration Citizenship Labour
Lara Jüssen takes the case of Latin American household and construction workers in Madrid to show how ir/regular labour migrants make citizenship available for themselves through emplacements, embodiments and enactments of citizenship. After describing the sociopolitical context of crisis and resistance in Spain, citizenship is anthropologized in order to approach it through the workplace: the private household and the construction site. Based on empirical results from interviews, it is analyzed how citizenship is emplaced through ego-centered networks and assemblages that situate the migrants’ social belonging; how it is embodied through carving out of identities of the migrant workers, intersectionality of gender, ethnicity, and class, affects that imprint workers’ bodies, and experiences of violence at the workplace; then citizenships’ enactment is scrutinized through workers’ empowerment for rights, individually at the workplace and collectively through demonstrations and political theater performance in urban public space.

Intervención sociocomunitaria
Una característica de nuestro mundo es la cultura de la inmediatez y, por tanto, la dificultad de pensar el futuro. La Humanidad es llevada hacia una aventura incierta y desconocida. Sabemos lo que hemos dejada atrás, pero ¿sabemos adónde vamos?. La Escuela siente el desafío de una sociedad que precisa respuestas creativas -afrontar la incertidumbre- en una dialéctica entre lo nuevo y lo persistente, lo que emerge y lo duradero.
