Resumen
Este artículo surge de un trabajo de campo realizado en poblaciones rurales localizadas en tierras que en un pasado pertenecieron a un latifundio ganadero y algodonero, al sur de la región agreste de Rio Grande do Norte, Brasil. A partir de una investigación sobre un conflicto laboral ocurrido en dicho latifundio en la década de sesenta, durante la sindicalización de los/as trabajadores/as rurales del lugar, en este texto atiendo los momentos del trabajo de campo compartidos con las mujeres de esa región. Me interesa enfocar el universo social que nuestras interacciones y lo que me contaban permiten vislumbrar. Frecuentemente, los varones fueron los recomendados para interactuar con quien no era de allí y contar sobre las cuestiones que me interesaban y que eran de conocimiento público; no competía a las mujeres esa interacción, ni ese poder de acceso a la palabra de interés general. Sin embargo, en un ámbito de mayor intimidad, sí accedían a esa palabra. Con ellas descubrí una dinámica social diferente a la que observaba con los varones, la cual no hubiera podido apreciar por fuera de sus redes cotidianas de sociabilidad. Con este artículo procuro mostrar ese mundo público que se construye en el ámbito doméstico o en aquel para cuyo acceso se requiere algún grado de familiaridad. Pretendo, con una perspectiva de género, aportar a una mirada crítica de la dicotomía público-privado.
This article stems from fieldwork with rural populations living on what was once an enormous livestock and cotton plantation in the Agreste region of Rio Grande do Norte, Brazil. Drawing on a study of a labor conflict surrounding the unionization of rural workers there in the 1960s, the article examines moments of fieldwork involving the region’s women. I am interested in focusing on the social universe I could see through these women’s statements and my interactions with them. During my fieldwork, men were usually the ones to talk to outsiders and discuss issues that interested me and of public knowledge. Women would not engage in such interactions and did not have the power to speak about issues of general interest. In more intimate settings, however, their voices emerged. With these women, I discovered a social dynamic different from that observed with the men, a dynamic I would not have been able to comprehend outside their daily sociability networks. In this article, I intend to show the public world that is constructed within the domestic realm, or in other spaces where familiarity is a condition for access. The goal is to contribute to a critical perspective on the public-private dichotomy from a gender perspective.
