Abstract
Un eje fundamental de la reproducción de las divisiones sociales y políticas entre hombres y mujeres tiene que ver con la cultura emocional. El objetivo de este artículo es el análisis de las convenciones que regulan el intercambio emocional en los cuidados y cómo se hace género en estas tramas de sentir. A partir de entrevistas en profundidad a varones y mujeres cuidadoras, se ha analizado la producción de estructuras diferenciadoras de género en la práctica emocional del cuidado a partir de dos ejes: por un lado, la organización moral del cuidado a partir del lugar desde el que uno habla (topografía emocional) y, por otro, los campos discursivos del cuidado que articulan la performatividad del género —cuidado como conquista, como deuda o como expresión de una cualidad moral.
A key aspect in the reproduction of gender inequalities is the cultural regulation of emotions. This article aims to analyse the conventions in care practices that regulate emotional exchange and how these emotional frames produce gender. Using in-depth interviews with men and women caregivers, the production of differentiating gender structures in the emotional work of care has been analysed based on two pillars. On the one hand, we examine the moral organization of care from the place or social position from which the individual speaks (emotional topography), and on the other, we analyse the discursive frames of care which articulate the performance of gender (care as a conquest, as a debt or as an expression of moral quality).
