ARANGO GAVIRIA, LUZ GABRIELA y PINEDA DUQUE, JAVIER ARMANDO. GENDER, WORK, AND IDENTITY: BEAUTY SALONS IN BOGOTÁ. CS [online]. 2012, n.10, pp.93-129. ISSN 2011-0324. https://doi.org/10.18046/recs.i10.1356.
This article examines hair salons, beauty parlors and barbershops in Bogotá from three perspectives; first, as a space that offers a variety of services and aesthetic possibilities in a context of high informality and of class, race, and gender inequality; secondly, as work marked by sexual and social divisions, in terms of both jobs and attention to the clientele, centered around 'emotional work'; and thirdly, as a field of both cultural expression and conflict with ethnic, racial and sexual aspects. Based on fieldwork and on a focus on intersectionality, the article explores these social differences as manifested in these jobs within the processes of subsistence and professionalization.
