Abstract
En este artículo se pretende profundizar en las posibilidades que presenta la herramienta teórica “domesticación del trabajo”, en tanto que constituye una propuesta conceptual útil para repensar los diversos trabajos, así como el valor social que tienen, al incorporar, además de los aspectos materiales, la dimensión emocional y moral. Se sigue para ello uno de los debates que están multiplicando las esferas de análisis: los cuidados. En primer lugar, se reflexiona sobre las limitaciones que presenta el concepto de trabajo para comprender los cuidados en su complejidad y especificidad. En segundo lugar, se revisa la noción care en tanto que permite incorporar en el análisis las tres dimensiones anteriormente señaladas (materialidad, moral y emociones). Finalmente, se propone el modelo de social care como una forma de reflexión sobre la responsabilidad de los cuidados, así como el valor social que estos tienen (reconocimiento). Los cuidados permiten ampliar el concepto de trabajo, contribuyen a “domesticarlo”.-------------------------------------------------------------
This article proposes a reflection on the possibilities of the theoretical tool “domestication of work”, whereas it constitutes a useful conceptual proposal to rethink the different types of work, as well as their social value when incorporating, beside the material aspects, the emotional and moral dimensions. For that purpose, the debate that is multiplying the analysis spheres, the debate about care, is studied. First of all, a reflection on the limitations about the concept ‘work’ in order to understand the complexity and specificity of ‘care’. Secondly, the notion of care is explored, while it includes in its analysis the three dimensions previously indicated (material, moral and emotional). Finally, the model of social care is proposed as a way of reflection on the moral responsibility of care and its social value (recognition). Care allows to extend the ‘work’ concept, it contributes to ‘domesticate’ it.
