Resumen En Argentina, la sanción del régimen de acci-dentes de trabajo fue un hito significativo en la construcción de una ciudadanía social.

In Argentina, the central decades of the Twentieth Century were a period of deep changes in domestic work, both paid and unpaid, in which the demarcation of work and family was variable and conflictive, and in which domestic service acquired new meanings. The law-ranking decree 326, that regulates domestic service since 1956, is, in this sense, an...

Para el caso argentino, las ciencias sociales han recogido una serie de elementos que, aglutinados en un discurso científico, ¿evidenciaron¿ el surgimiento de un tipo particular de familia. Durante gran parte de la modernidad, el mundo del trabajo productivo se sobrevaloró y se separó del mundo del trabajo re-productivo. En aquel modelo familiar, e...
