BLACK WOMEN AND THE SPATIALITY OF DOMESTIC WORK: A GEOGRAPHIC ANALYSIS OF RACE AND GENDER
spatiality of the home; domestic worker; Housework.
The general objective of the research is to understand how domestic relational spatiality contributes to writing the bodies of black domestic workers, slave customs and a consequent reaffirmation of their places of subordination, bringing them closer to the characteristics attributed to "allowed housemaids". As a counterpoint, references to black intellectuals reveal that an epistemological turn in Geography has to do with the analytical instrumentality of intersectionality, so the work is justified in choosing this theme as fundamental to geographic research, especially at a time like the one we are going through, when care-related practices have never been so necessary, even if they continue to be devalued, putting domestic workers at disadvantages related to the violation of rights. The methodology of this research revolves around two axes: (i) the systematic review of literature, through the collection of references in the Catalog of Theses and Dissertations of CAPES based on a qualitative-quantitative method of analysis of themes and theoretical references in the field of Femiist and Black Geographies ; and (ii) the collection of some reports taken from the book “Me, Maidadamda: a
Modern Slave quarroom is the Little Room da Maida”, by the author Preta-Rara, which allows the insertion of a narrative method anchored in Black Feminism and in the Decolonial Feminist Geographies.
