This paper aims to discuss feminist collective candidacies as a powerful new means of political representation in Brazil, one historically connected with previous feminist struggles in the country. Considering the key role that language plays in understanding labor, I will explain how this new way of making politics can challenge the sexual division of labor through the idea of horizontality. Moreover, I will examine feminist collective candidacies as an effective tactic to reinforce Brazilian participatory democracy.

Abstract Brazil was one of the countries that integrated Latin America’s left turn, a period in which social policies have become central. During the Labor Party’s Government (Partido dos Trabalhadores) (2013-2016), were developed institutional conditions to mainstream gender in public policies, which embraced the issue of the sexual division of labor. However, did it mean an effective reorientation of the childcare policy towards gender equality perspectives? This article aims to reflect upon this question, drawing on the gender mainstreaming concept. It is understood as a process of incorporation of feminist perspectives into the public policy framing, regarding the (re)definition of both the public problem and the course of state action. To do so, we carried out a qualitative study of gender mainstreaming on childcare policy (daycare centers and leaves), focusing on official discourses, mainly through documentary analysis. Based on the results analyzed, we identified the coexistence of two frames: “education and childcare rights” and “promotion of women's economic autonomy”. Since the first one has prevailed, we conclude that gender mainstreaming was marginal in the childcare policy, during the analyzed period.

This chapter presents a Darwinian account of how humans became the symbolic species. It challenges the widely held idea that symbolic culture did not emerge until long after our African speciation. Red ochre use appears as a cumulative cultural tradition emerging prior to modern humans, becoming ubiquitous with modern Homo sapiens. One argument for the evolution of within-group cooperation has been inter-group conflict, but this is unlikely to result in sexual morality. An alternative model of “reverse dominance” or “gender” warfare is explored, generating playful, ritual contest between the sexes. As a reproductive strategy, women in coalitions resisted dominant male attempts to monopolize fertile females without providing adequate investment. Ritual bodypaint performances established symbolic culture, morality, kinship, and the sexual division of labor. Investor males drove the success of this symbolic strategy through sexual selection of ritually decorated females, linked to the plateau of encephalization in modern humans.

In this study, we sought to understand, from a gender perspective, the experiences of mining couples in Antofagasta, Chile, especially the balance between their intimate lives and the absences of their partners due to the shift work modality. We analyzed testimonies from men and women living in Antofagasta, which is considered to be one of the world’s three largest mining regions. Among the main findings, power relations based on the hegemonic gender model supported by the sexual division of labor were identified, which persist in this mining area, despite progress in gender equality issues in Chile. Although there are differences between the discourses of men and women and their subjective positioning, we propose that both actively collaborate with the reproduction of social gender relations marked by male domination. We propose that the way in which couples live is associated with the organization of mining work and especially the shift system, which is central to the reproduction of the gender order with a heteropatriarchal tone.

<p style="margin-bottom: 0.35cm; line-height: 100%;" align="justify">O objetivo deste artigo é analisar duas realidades de trabalho marcadas pela flexibilidade e precariedade, e com presença de uma força de trabalho intensiva de mulheres, na Região Nordeste do Brasil. A primeira, envolve mulheres que atuam como costureiras externas em facções domiciliares do Polo de Confecções do Agreste Pernambucano. Na segunda, temos o protagonismo feminino interno à produção têxtil no município de Jardim de Piranhas-RN. A divisão sexual do trabalho apresenta uma centralidade em ambas as experiências, seja reforçando os lugares clássicos que homens e mulheres ocupam na produção e na reprodução, seja apresentando questões novas. Foram realizadas visitas e entrevistas nos dois contextos produtivos, o que permitiu um contato com as experiências de trabalho das mulheres. No primeiro caso, o trabalho domiciliar significa a busca por autonomia e liberdade, no qual temos também a entrada dos homens na atividade de costura. No segundo, as mulheres tornam-se proprietárias de teares e a presença dos homens ainda é pequena. No entanto, esses fatores não repercutiram positivamente nas desigualdades de gênero, uma vez que as tarefas domésticas permanecem inalteradas e, mesmo com as longas jornadas de trabalho, elas não percebem as condições desiguais.</p><p style="margin-bottom: 0.35cm; line-height: 100%;" align="justify"> </p><p style="margin-bottom: 0.35cm; line-height: 100%;" align="justify">WORK RELATIONS AND GENDER INEQUALITIES IN THE NORTHEAST TEXTILE AND CLOTHING INDUSTRY</p><p style="margin-bottom: 0.35cm; line-height: 100%;" align="justify">The aim of this article is to analyze two realities of work, marked by flexibility and precariousness and with an intensive workforce of women in the northeastern region of Brazil. The first involves women seamstresses in household factions of the Confections Pole of the Agreste of Pernambuco State. In the second, we have the female protagonism within the textile production in the municipality of Jardim de Piranhas-RN.The sexual division of labor is central to both experiences, either by reinforcing the classic places that men and women occupy in production and reproduction, or by presenting new issues.Visits and interviews were carried out in the two productive contexts, which allowed contact with the labor experiences of women. In the first case, home work means the search for autonomy and freedom, where we also have the entry of men in sewing. In the second, women become owners of looms and the presence of men is still small. However, these factors did not have a positive impact on gender inequalities, since domestic chores remain unchanged and even with long working hours, women workers do not perceive themselves as people generated in an oppressive and dominant society and in unequal conditions at work.</p><p style="margin-bottom: 0.35cm; line-height: 100%;" align="justify">Keywords: Textile and clothing industry.

Cependant, ces facteurs n’ont pas eu d’impact positif sur les inégalités entre les sexes, car les tâches domestiques restent inchangées et même avec de longues heures de travail, femmes qui travaillent ne se perçoivent pas comme des personnes générées dans une société oppressive et dominante et dans des conditions de travail inégales.</p><p style="margin-bottom: 0.35cm; line-height: 100%;" align="justify">Mots-clés: Industrie textile et habillement.
