CANEVARO, Santiago. Empleadoras del servicio doméstico en la Ciudad de Buenos Aires: intimidad, desigualdad y afecto. Avá [online]. 2009, n.15, pp.00-00. ISSN 1851-1694.

Remunerated day-to-day domestic work involves relationships between women from two different sectors: popular and middle class sector. Focusing in employers' testimonies and experiences, this paper explores how the relationship between this two characters is crossed by an affective factor, a not-contractual link whereas reciprocity, antagonism and complicity complicates the tie even more. With this backdrop, this work analizes how class relationships are produced and built up with an affective exchange behind The analysis of different cases extracted from an ethnographic study made in Buenos Aires, will show different ways of perception, categorization and argumentation that employers uses as instruments in order to understand mechanisms of naturalization, questioning and/or legitimate of inequality.
