A partir da articulação das perspectivas de gênero, gerações e de classe social, a pesquisa na qual se baseia a tese indagou sobre os grandes significados, as motivações e as consequências dessa atuação, tanto na construção da categoria mulher desempregada como sujeito político, quanto nas mudanças em seu cotidiano e no contexto sociopolítico local e regional. A pesquisa, qualitativa, foi realizada através da análise das histórias de vida e das trajetórias políticas e laborais das mulheres que participaram das tomadas, da análise de entrevistas a informantes chaves e nas análises de artigos jornalísticos dos acontecimentos. O estudo reconstrói o percurso histórico das lutas das mulheres desempregadas patagônicas no marco do movimento de trabalhadores e trabalhadoras desempregadas, cujas origens remontam à recessão produzida, na década de 90, na região e no país, pela aplicação das "medidas de ajuste" neoliberais. E mostra que na demanda de trabalho às empresas petrolíferas privadas, as mulheres se assumem como trabalhadoras desempregadas, no marco da luta de classes sociais e de gênero, e reconstroem novas relações com o social e o político, emergindo como uma geração que vai mais além da luta pelo trabalho, ao denunciarem as desigualdades de gênero e a apropriação e saque dos recursos naturais por parte das empresas multinacionais. Nesse sentido, demonstra-se, por um lado, a existência de uma aliança estatal-empresarial e midiática para garantir a acumulação capitalista, e, por outro, que a luta das mulheres para conseguir trabalho formal nessas empresas petroleiras se confronta com fortes padrões de masculinidade reproduzidos pela dinâmica empresarial da região. Confirmase, assim, a apropriação por parte do capital da ideologia de gênero para obter maior beneficio econômico. Contrariamente à hegemonia de exploraçãodominação do capitalismo-patriarcado, as mulheres a confrontam, construindo novos sentidos na política, tais como, a importância política dos laços primários na luta, a formação política e a construção de laços solidários, contrapostas à imposição da ideologia desumana do neoliberalismo. Entendida como uma geração que soube interpretar o seu tempo histórico, esta continua lutando contra a nova ordem neoliberal do capitalismo por espoliação, ao enfrentar, na atualidade, o fracking e a megamineração. This dissertation analyzes the processes of insertion and political participation of unemployed Patagonian working women in the occupation of maritime petroleum terminals (TERMAP) that occurred in 2004, in the petroleum enclave of the San Jorge Gulf, in the city of Caleta Olivia, Argentina. Based on the articulation of gender, generation, and social class perspectives, the research upon which this dissertation is based inquired about the major meanings, motivations and consequences of their participation, both in terms of the construction of the category ‘unemployed women’ as political subjects, as well as in the changes taking place in their everyday life and in the regional and local sociopolitical context. The research, of a qualitative nature, was undertaken through the collection and analysis of life stories and political and work trajectories of the women who participated in the occupation, interviews with key informants, and on newspaper articles published while the events took place. The study reconstructs the historical course of the struggles staged by unemployed Patagonian women within that of the unemployed workers movement, whose origins remount to the recession of the 1990s resultant from neoliberal economic “adjustment measures”. It shows that in their demands to private sector petroleum industries for employment, women presented themselves as ‘unemployed workers’, intersecting class and gender struggles, constructing new relations with the social and the political, and emerging as a generation of women who goes much further in their struggle for work, in denouncing gender inequalities and the appropriation and looting of natural resources by multinational companies. As such, the study reveals, on the one hand, the existence of a state-entrepreneurial and media alliance to guarantee capitalist accumulation, and, on the other hand, that women’s struggles to guarantee formal employment in these petroleum industries had to confront the strong masculinity patterns reproduced by the entrepreneurial dynamics in the region. This confirms the appropriation of gender ideology by capital in order to obtain economic benefits. But contrary to the exploitation-domination hegemony of patriarchal capitalism, women confront it, building new meanings to politics, such as the political importance of primary links in the struggle, political formation and the building of solidarity links, in opposition to the imposition of neoliberalism’s unhuman ideology. Understood as a generation that knew how to interpret their historical time, they continue to struggle against a new capitalist neoliberal order for spoliation, confronting, at present, fracking and mega-mining. / This dissertation analyzes the processes of insertion and political participation of unemployed Patagonian working women in the occupation of maritime petroleum terminals (TERMAP) that occurred in 2004, in the petroleum enclave of the San Jorge Gulf, in the city of Caleta Olivia, Argentina.

O trabalho doméstico remunerado, apesar de pouco valorizado e permanecer na invisibilidade, é uma das modalidades de trabalho mais comuns entre as mulheres representando cerca de 17% da participação feminina na PEA. Encontra-se entre a formalidade, no que tange aos direitos estendidos a esta categoria, e a informalidade, quanto à relação profissional que as trabalhadoras domésticas estabelecem com as patroas. No Brasil, tem suas raízes no escravagismo e está atrelado à divisão sexual do trabalho que, sócio-historicamente, construiu a distinção entre os papéis de gênero, ficando a cargo da mulher a responsabilidade pelos cuidados da casa e da família. Além disso, sofre o atravessamento de questões de classe, pois as trabalhadoras domésticas são mulheres da massa urbana que cuidam da casa e da família para que as mulheres da camada social superior exerçam outras modalidades de trabalho remunerado. Portanto, instala-se a bipolaridade quanto ao trabalho feminino, isto é, por um lado verifica-se um aumento da participação no mercado de trabalho e a inserção em profissões de nível superior de prestígio e, por outro, há forte presença em trabalhos precarizados e de pouca valorização social como a responsabilidade pelos afazeres domésticos e o trabalho doméstico assalariado, herdeiros do escravagismo, num coorte de raça, gênero e classe social claramente definido. Os objetivos principais desta pesquisa foram reconstruir a história do trabalho doméstico localizada dentro do processo de construção sócio-histórica do trabalho e compreender suas representações sociais a partir do relato de cinco trabalhadoras domésticas obtido através de entrevistas semi-estruturadas analisadas pelo método de associação de idéias. Os resultados centrais indicaram que a configuração desta relação inerente ao trabalho doméstico, torna esta atividade mais próxima da servidão: a trabalhadora doméstica está isolada, suas humilhações não estão compartilhadas, está diretamente submetida à patroa por conta de uma relação assimétrica e não formalizada de poder que não deixa claro quais seriam as regras do contrato de trabalho, permitindo abusos e fraudes de ambas as partes. Conclui-se que o trabalho doméstico é uma modalidade de trabalho remunerado que faz transparecer o lugar e o papel social da mulher na sociedade brasileira atravessada pelas questões de raça, gênero e classe, e que apresenta uma ambigüidade às trabalhadoras domésticas e às suas patroas. Em relação às patroas, elas se libertaram parcialmente do papel de responsáveis pelos afazeres domésticos (questão de gênero), mas contratam outras mulheres de uma camada social inferior (questão de classe) para executarem esse trabalho, reforçando o papel social do qual estão, gradativamente, se emancipando. No tocante às trabalhadoras domésticas, seu trabalho permite uma renda e certa independência financeira, indicando uma relativa emancipação, entretanto reproduz o lugar de responsável pelos afazeres domésticos (questão de gênero) e submetida a relações informais que remeteriam às raízes escravagistas desta modalidade de trabalho (questão de raça) estabelecidas por suas patroas, que se emanciparam destas atribuições (questão de classe). Vale salientar que o trabalho doméstico é uma dentre tantas outras possibilidades para o grupo de trabalhadores da massa urbana, que tem seu trabalho marcado, em geral, pela precarização e pela informalidade. / The paid domestic work, although somewhat not valued and invisible, is one of the most common ways of work among women, representing about 17% of female participation in the Economically Active Population. It can be find among the formality, in regard to the rights of this category; and informality, by the professional relationship that the domestic workers lay with the employers. In Brazil, has its roots in slavery and is linked to the sexual division of labor which defined the distinction between the roles of gender, attributing to the wife the responsibility for the care of home and family. Moreover, there are issues of class, because the domestic workers are women of the urban mass that take care of home and family so that women of higher social layer perform other types of paid work. So, a bipolarity of the women working is installed. On one hand, there is an increase in labor market participation and inclusion in professions of higher level. And, on the other hand, there is a strong presence in precarious work and socially bad evaluated as the responsibility for domestic activities and the paid domestic work, heirs of slavery, in a clearly defined cohort of race, gender and social class. The main objectives of this research were: the reconstruction of the domestic work history; and the understanding of its social representations from the reporting of five domestic workers obtained through semi-structured analyzed by the method of the association of ideas. The main findings indicated that the way that the domestic work is built makes this activity more closer of the slavery: the domestic worker is isolated, their humiliations are not shared, she is directly submitted to the boss, which establishes an asymmetrical and not formalized relationship of power that leaves not clear what are the rules of the employment contract, allowing abuses and fraud on both sides. As a conclusion, the domestic work is a form of paid work that makes clear the place and social role of women in Brazilian society crossed by issues of race, gender and class, and it presents an ambiguity for the domestic workers and their employers. The employers are partially released of responsibility of the domestics tasks (issues of gender), but hire other women of a lower social layer (issues of social class) to perform such work, reinforcing the social role from which they are gradually being emancipated. With regard to domestic workers, their work allows for certain income and financial independence, indicating a partial emancipation, however they continue to have the responsibility by the domestic tasks (issues of gender) and to be submitted to informal relationships by their employers emancipated of these tasks (issues of social class), what are related to the roots of slavery of this modality of work (issues of race). It is important to say that domestic work is one among many other work possibilities for the group of employees of the urban mass, which, in general, have their work marked by precariousness and informality.

Working and unmarried women could have a life which married women had not. Instead of marriage, they built their social and family life on friendship. They lived with each other, payed rent together, discussed domestic issues such as cleaning and household labour. They also talked about love, and passion, and how to find a friend to share their life with. This particular group of unmarried women did not solely arrange friendship out of practical purposes but also of emotional and social bonds. This study focuses on the teacher Maja Beskow in Umeå and her diaries and correspondence with and about her friends from the year 1896 to 1923. What did they say about friendship? What aspects of life could be found within the friendships?

Exploitation or empowerment? Arguing from the interface of Cultural Studies and Political Science, the following thesis investigates a specific effect of globalisation in India: the impact of Indian women’s employment in multi- and transnational companies (MNCs) on their life, social role and self-perception. On the basis of twelve case studies with MNCs, comprising comprehensive questionnaires and interviews with employees and experts, the study aims to assess possible socio-economic and cultural transformations by examining in detail the women’s work satisfaction, their responses to the influences of a foreign culture, the impact of their employment on their private lives as well as – in reverse – on the corporate culture of the company.

This study examined changes between 1950 and 1970 in women's aggregate occupational position in 168 Standard Metropolitan Statistical Areas. Specifically, the research was designed to study three aspects of women's occupational position. First, women's distribution across occupational categories (absolute position) was examined. Absolute position was defined as the percent of working women in professional and managerial occupations. Second, women's occupational position compared to men (relative position) was examined. This involved women's share of the total jobs in each occupational category. Third, the statistical relationship between women's occupational position and their labor force participation rate was investigated using zero-order correlations.

本研究目的主要先探討職業婦女日常創意生活經驗現況；然後研究職業婦女的背景變項(婚姻狀況、年齡、子女數、最小子女年齡、職業別)與日常創意生活經驗的關係；最後再深入探討職業婦女之日常創意生活經驗與幸福感間關係。 本研究採取問卷調查法，以研究者自編的「職業婦女之日常創意生活經驗量表」，及「中國人幸福感量表」為調查研究工具。研究過程可分為三階段，第一階段先以開放式問卷訪談幾位有豐富創意生活經驗的職業婦女，編製「職業婦女之日常創意生活經驗量表」。第二階段，以方便取樣的方式，抽取一百名職業婦女進行預試。第三階段正式施測，以方便取樣的方式，抽取以新竹以北之縣市為主的職業婦女，共得370份有效問卷。並將收集資料以描述性統計、t檢定、單因子變異數分析、迴歸分析、集群分析進行分析。 本研究主要發現如下： 一、職業婦女的日常創意生活經驗的內涵可分為六個向度，分數由高至低分別為：「運用資源處理生活事務性創意」、「空間或概念重組性創意」、「運用專業知識或技術性創意」、「人際互動性創意」、「即興的表達與因應性創意」、「家務性創意」。 二、不同婚姻狀況、不同子女數的職業婦女在日常創意生活經驗上無顯著差異。 三、不同最小子女年齡、不同職業別、不同年齡的職業婦女在日常創意生活經驗上有顯著差異。 四、不同背景變項的職業婦女在幸福感上無顯著差異。 五、職業婦女的日常創意生活經驗對幸福感有顯著的預測力。 六、職業婦女的創意類型可分為四種：「全面創意型」，「懶人創意型」，「平凡無奇型」，「一成不變型」，且四類型的幸福感有差異。 綜合上述結果，本研究發現越會使用日常創意生活經驗的職業婦女，其幸福感越高。特別是越會使用「人際互動性創意」「即興的表達與因應性創意」、「運用資源處理生活事務性創意」創意生活經驗的職業婦女，幸福感越高。 最後，根據本研究的結果與討論為職業婦女、其他相關人員、諮商實務工作及未來研究提出建議。 / The relationship between creative life experiences and happiness of working women.

Socio-cultural factors should also be considered in a multidisciplinary way. Associating both quantitative and qualitative approaches, aiming at the investigation of possible components of this disease that are subject of intervention, such as Assertiveness, and the socio-cultural factors involved, nine subjects were interviewed, three groups of women (the most undertaken gender) between 25 and 45 years (the most incident range). These groups answered, then, a questionnaire on Assertiveness (adaptation of the Rathus Scale based on the study by Pascoli and Gouveia of 1991) and another study on Quality of Life (SF 36). The results obtained in the Questionnaire of Assertiveness do not demonstrate significant differences among the three groups. Nevertheless, they occurred in an unequivocal way in the items related to physical aspects of questionnaire SF 36, which reinforces the participation and prevalence of biological components strongly influenced by socio-cultural matters in this disorder. We come to the conclusion that, although it cannot prevent WROD, interventions in the physical and organizational aspects of work are certainly necessary, since, without them, the musculoskeletal problems may be caused or aggravated (Maeno and col, 2001). However, this should always occur in a multidisciplinary approach.

Conclui-se então que, mesmo que não possam prevenir a DORT, as intervenções sobre aspectos físicos e organizacionais do trabalho são inequivocamente necessárias, pois do contrário, os problemas músculo-esqueléticos poderão ser provocados ou mesmo agravados (Maeno e col, 2001). No entanto, isto deverá ocorrer sempre dentro de uma abordagem multidisciplinar.
