“Woman’s essence”: a reading of the current women´s subjetivation processes in relation to labour
Journal Title: Revista de Estudios Marítimos y Sociales - Year 2012, Vol 5, Issue 11
Abstract
In this paper we reflect upon the rationality matrix that frames current women´s subjetivation processes in relation to labour. In order to do that, we start describing the matrix that, from our point of view, gives sense and shapes both males and women´s subjetivation processes from the beginning of modernity. We will call this matrix esencialist because it considers to the subject like an a priori one endowed with an essence. We describe the matrix´s components, specially one of them: labour. Then we show how this matrix propose differential practices for women and males. Likewise we state that, in spite of the fact that real subjetivation processes are historical and so they change (with which the idea of an a priori subject would lack sense) essentialization is still an existing strategy. We show this from pointing out persistence of esencialist elements in examples of speeches that focus on women and labour. Finally, we present visibilities and invisibilities that the above mentioned esencialist strategy produces.
