Resumen
Con base en una investigación cualitativa realizada en Bogotá en 2010, el artículo analiza el trabajo en peluquerías y salones de belleza y la división sexual de las tareas y ocupaciones que lo atraviesan. Acude a las categorías de trabajo emocional y corporal, propuestas por la crítica feminista al concepto de trabajo, para interpretar las múltiples habilidades, destrezas y significados que incorporan las y los peluqueros, estilistas, barberos y manicuristas en el desempeño de su oficio. El análisis explora las articulaciones entre género, clase, sexualidad, etnicidad y raza y propone algunas hipótesis sobre su incidencia en la diferenciación de las prácticas y sentidos del trabajo, con énfasis en la relación entre trabajador-a y clientela.
Abstract: Based on qualitative research carried out in Bogota in 2010, the article analyzes work in hair salons and spas and the sexual division of labor and occupations that take place in them. Categories of emotional and body work, proposed by feminist criticism of the concept of work, are used to interpret the multiple abilities, skills and meanings that the hair dressers, stylists, barbers and manicurists incorporate in performing their work. The analysis explores the articulations among gender, class, sexuality and race and proposes certain hypotheses regarding their incidence in the differentiation of the work practices and meanings, emphasizing the relationship between worker and customer.
