La "triple presencia-ausencia": una propuesta para el estudio del trabajo doméstico-familiar, el trabajo remunerado y la participación sociopolítica

Abstract

The article aims to provide a reflection on the "triple presence-absence", a proposal to study care of a broad view, addressing its relationship with paid work and political involvement. The proposal is made in the discussion developed the last few decades around care, mainly related to three working lines focused respectively on: the material dimension of domestic-family work, doing gender effect and ethic of care. The potential of the notion the "triple presence-absence" lies in its ability to make more complex the analysis of care in two ways. On the one hand, it relates care not only with paid work (as do predecessor approaches around the "double shift" or "double presence-absence"), but also with socio-political participation. Furthermore, it pays attention to both the materiality (occupations in the strict sense) as well as to subjective and moral aspects of domestic-family work (responsibility, availability, worry...). It is an eminently analytical proposal, which shall be contrasted empirically in future studies.
