Abstract

ABSTRACT Objective: in this essay, we analyze the roots of the exhaustion of Brazilian working women from the point of view of the dialectical historical materialism method. We investigate the exhaustion in terms of physical, emotional, and mental fatigue of Brazilian working women by using the concepts of social reproduction and dependent capitalism to reveal that women’s overtiredness is not a novelty inaugurated by the COVID-19 pandemic. Thesis: even before this global health crisis, the overload of work, inside and outside the domestic space, was already a reality for Brazilian women. We suggest that super-exploitation, essential to dependent capitalism, implies a growing intensification of the working time of Brazilian women workers, at the same time that dependence relegates them to the task of internal and external social reproduction in globalized capitalism. Conclusions: the rupture with these processes demands the radical transformation of the current social order and economic system, for which the political organization to demand payment from the state for reproductive work is an important step in the social battle against the depletion of women.
巴西劳动妇女枯竭的根源:辩证历史唯物主义的贡献
【摘要】目的:本文运用辩证历史唯物主义的方法,分析巴西劳动妇女疲惫的根源。我们利用社会再生产和依赖型资本主义的概念,从身体、情感和精神疲劳的角度调查了巴西职业女性的疲惫,揭示了女性的过度疲劳并不是新冠肺炎大流行带来的新鲜事物。论点:即使在这场全球健康危机之前,巴西妇女在家庭内外的超负荷工作已经是一个现实。我们认为,对依赖资本主义至关重要的超级剥削意味着巴西女工的工作时间日益增加,与此同时,依赖使她们在全球化资本主义中不得不承担内部和外部社会再生产的任务。结论:与这些过程的决裂要求对当前的社会秩序和经济制度进行彻底的变革,为此,政治组织要求国家为生育工作支付报酬是反对妇女枯竭的社会斗争的重要一步。
