Representações sociais de discentes do ensino médio do Município de Afogados da Ingazeira (PE) acerca do trabalho reprodutivo realizado em suas residências.

Abstract

The sociological literature on Reproductive Work does not clarify to Sociology high school its major function, which is to examine and, above all, to see and say about a reality in which women are socially, historically and economically “conditioned” to practices and ideologies typical of capitalist patriarchy, here understood as reproduction subordinate to the demands of economic capital and manifestly cultural in the reproductive sense. This is, therefore, a research aimed at the visibility of Reproductive Work. To this end, at first, Marxian theoretical analyzes were made, as we understand that these do not only denounce the invisibility of reproductive work, but propose analyzes on overcoming this unequal sexual division of labor, from home to public life. In this sense, this dissertation seeks, in the school space, with the help of Theories of Social Representations and field research anchored, above all, in the analysis of the Discussion Groups, to seek theoretical and practical explanations on questions about the necessary sayability and visibility of the work reproductive as a sociologically analytical category in the Sociology classroom, and having said that, how, the Sociology teacher socially represents Reproductive Work.
