| Description | De title of this special refers to an international colloquium organised april 21 2007 at the University of Lausanne. Élise Lemercie demonstrates in her survey that some women create collective positions in the area of intercultural mediation to negotiate autonomy outside the couple and family life. Based on ethnographic research, Caroline Ibos examines in her article the cross-cutting relations between class-based, sexual and racial social categorizations between African nannies and their employers. Articles in magazines deliver an embellished representation of women's obligation to combine family and working life. According to these new 'images d'Épinal' women should be able to respond to a triple challenge: to initiate mutual comprehension within their romantic couple, to increase the social capital of their children, and to reform the working world. Céline Bessière shows that the model of emancipation of younger women through paid work outside the family business is not unambiguous, and that emancipation depends more generally on the social position of the protagonists. Elsa Galerand and Danièle Kergoat take as hypothesis the idea that it is the relation to work, and not work itself, that holds subversive, not to say liberating, potential for women. They insist on the necessity for the feminist movement to put domestic work back at the center of its reflection on work and on the emancipation of women. Working in precarious and isolated situations, undocumented domestic workers in Switzerland manage to endure their tasks, and to commit themselves, arriving at certain forms of fulfillment. Laetitia Dechaufour aims at introducing postcolonial feminism through its main debates and authors. The principal objective of postcolonial feminism is to rethink the oppression of women through the lens of colonization and slavery. |
