SUMMARY:

The aim of this project is to identify and analyze the working relationships of women who work as day-cleaners, mediated by digital platforms, in Natal/RN and the metropolitan region, and how the category's strategies of resistance come about. Given that domestic work in Brazil has historically been permeated by advances and setbacks in the struggles for the realization of their labor rights. Thus, with the dynamics of work mediated by apps, websites and social networks, domestic work is taking on new contours, which will be fleshed out from a critical analysis based on the method of historical-dialectical materialism, which considers indispensable elements for this analysis - totality, historicity, mediations and contradictions. Also in the methodological characterization of the investigation, the research intends to explore the complexities and nuances around the theme using qualitative methodology, based on semi-structured interviews with domestic day laborers and with a representative of the National Federation of Domestic Workers (FENATRAD). By illuminating the ways in which these workers enter this market and its impacts, the research seeks to highlight the deepening tendencies towards informalization and the historical devaluation of paid domestic work, which has been impacted by the advance of the platformization of work. The precariousness of domestic work, now mediated by digital technologies, reveals the capacity of contemporary capitalism to adapt and intensify exploitation.
