OLARTE-OLARTE, María Carolina  y  LARA-VELOZA, Guisella. “Back to soil”: Territorial Dimensions of Work as Delimiters of Labor Options for Women in Madrid Municipality (Colombia). CS [online]. 2019, n.spe, pp.167-198. ISSN 2011-0324.  https://doi.org/10.18046/recs.iespecial.3250.

This article proposes to consider the territorial dimensions of work from a gender perspective and as an element for analysis in labor law academy. Through a case study of the Asoquimad association in Madrid, Cundinamarca, the article identifies a series of territorial determinants that underlie the employment history of women who seek, in peri-urban scenarios, to transit from working in the floriculture agroindustry to cooperative work in small-scale agroecological and solidarity economies. The case illustrates how global, regional, and local dynamics intersect in the delimitation of the labor options these women have access to in a context of transformation and dispute of what “the rural” is. The reading of the constraints faced by women enables a deeper understanding of labor as well as of its specific articulations with peri-urban transformations.
