Sexual body-itself?

What narrate Information Technology's women

Abstract

This dissertation aimed to understand social relations of sex and their mechanisms of women 's segregation and exclusion in Information Technology, based on dramatic of the use of the body-itself of women working in this tertiary sector of the economy. This study follows a theoretical-methodological bias of materialist feminism of Francophone origin in interlocution with ergology, with life narratives as the primary method of this qualitative research, structured by Line 2 Formative Processes in Technological Education (PPGET / CEFET-MG). Therefore, we sought to understand the work from the point of view of human activity, through the case study of two women in the IT area. The investigation allowed the reflection on the essentialisms inherent to the biological differences that fallaciously hierarchically socialize women and men in favor of the latter, the lack of recognition of the technical qualification of the work performed by them, in addition to presenting daily dynamics performed in the work field as actions of coping with the objectification of their bodies and intellectual properties.
