Enclosed in the positioning theory, we examine the construction of labor subjectivities among women and men in their informal jobs in the streets of Bogota. 14 men and 14 women were interviewed. Their experiences and worries at work are investigated. Initially, the macro discourses as construction power spaces are proposed in the construction of subjectivity and its connection with the micro discourses found in the everyday jobs of the workers. Results are analyzed by comparing and contrasting the different positioning patterns in the mentioned discourses. Different discourses among men and women are found different, positioning them as independent, conformists, excluded, appreciated, and discriminated at the same time, and an example of how a worker should not be.

Palabras clave : Informal job; labor subjectivities; positioning theory; macro discourses; micro discourses; Colombia; Critical Social Psychology; Qualitative Research; Discourses.
