The main objective of this research is to identify how individuals belonging to the Mapuche people were integrated into domestic service in the province of Concepción during the first half of the 19th century. This investigation takes into account the circumstances surrounding this labor integration, with a particular focus on the masterservant relationship that facilitated their inclusion in testamentary legacies. On the review of more than 450 wills that were legalized in the various notary offices of Concepción between 1823 and 1861, a dozen cases were identified where it is expressly stated that the servant legatee was of Mapuche origin, and that the inheritance was bequeathed to them "for services". The analysis of these wills, from a qualitative perspective, allows us to understand a series of common practices for the time, such as the use of Mapuche servants by the elites of Concepción, the change of Mapuche surnames for a "Chileanized" one, the transfer of surnames to servants when they had been raised by their masters, the bequest of various elements as remuneration for services and their insertion into a monetarized system, among others. The notarial sources will be complemented with the use of autobiographical accounts of travelers who were in Chile, such as Eduard Poeppig, Mary Graham or Edmund Reuel Smith, texts in which they give an account of how relations between Mapuche and Chileans functioned in the Frontier zone.

“In payment for its services” in 1823-1856: Domestic service in Chile through wills This article studies domestic service in Chile, particularly in the province of Concepción, during the first half of the nineteenth century. The main objective is to characterize the social and labour dynamics involved in domestic service during the first years of the Republic focusing on the study of the testamentary practices of the local elite evidenced through the review and analysis of wills notarized in the city of Concepción between 1823 and 1856. Methodologically, the selection of wills was carried out in a universe of 315 wills, 73 of which contained bequests to domestic service, and their analysis was carried out both quantitatively and qualitatively. The main conclusions are related to the characterization of the objects bequeathed and to the materialization or agency in the delivery of the bequests. Resumen El presente artículo estudia el servicio doméstico en Chile, particu-larmente en la provincia de Concepción, durante la primera mitad del siglo XIX. Se pretende caracterizar las dinámicas sociales y laborales que envuelven al servicio doméstico durante los primeros años de la República por medio del estudio de las prácticas testamentarias de la elite local, evidenciadas a través de la revisión y análisis de testamentos notariados en la ciudad de Concepción entre 1823 y 1856. Metodológicamente, la selección de testamentos se realizó en un universo de 315 testamentos, de los cuáles 73 contenían legados al servicio doméstico y su análisis se realizó tanto de manera cuantitativa como cualitativa. Las principales conclusiones se extraen en relación con la caracterización de los objetos legados y con la materialización u agencialidad en la entrega de los mismos.

Foreign land control and Afro-Panamanian women domestics are mutually constituted and embedded in tourism development in Panama. In this article, I center the racial and patriarchal logics of dispossession informing land control, a process that connects twenty-first-century residential tourism development to twentieth-century U.S. imperial formations in the making of the Panama Canal. My approach blends ethnographic research with historical data collection, newspapers, and development-related policy documents drawn across a variety of research sites in Panama, Spain, and North America. To begin, I briefly trace the contemporary context of tourism-induced land dispossession and the growing tenure insecurities for Afro-Panamanian communities living on the shores of the Panamanian Caribbean. Here I show how residential tourism development reproduces settler colonial landscapes. Further, I place in conversation the concepts of postcolonial intersectionality and cuerpo-territorio (Cabnal 2015) to illustrate how land control and domestic service are interconnected, punctuating how land is not the only site of colonial governance. I then historicize tourism in Panama through tracing the discursive narratives of imperial formations in the early period of U.S. empire and the construction of the Panama Canal. I trace elite travel narratives, newspapers, and memoirs to link the racialized labor regimes of the Canal to the domestic spaces of the Canal Zone. Finally, I argue that foreign land acquisitions and domestic service are inextricably entangled in tourism development across time and space in Panama. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article proposes an analysis of the presence of urban domestic servants in Mexicanist historiography published since the mid-20th century. The purpose is to critically examine theoretical perspectives, methodological approaches and documentary sources that have been used and discussed to explain their participation in the world of work and in the world of politics during the nineteenth century, assumed as two spheres subject to links. Thus, the focus of attention is placed on the historiographical problem of the politicization of servants from the liberal reforms associated with the process of Independence until the prelude to the Mexican Revolution. Although not always recognized in the foreground, this issue is presented as a nodal to understand the limitations and scope of academic studies for the construction of a current historical memory that conceives them precisely as historical subjects.

This article addresses the relationship between the domestic service's modernization and the written press during the second half of the 19th century in Chile. The main object of this work is to understand the importance of the advertisement section of the newspapers El Sur de Concepción and El Ferrocarril de Santiago in the revitalization, promotion, and circulation of domestic service in these cities. The main research results are the progressive increase in the number of advertisements published in both newspapers, the emergence of employment agencies and the use by servants and employers of the platform provided by the written media.

Over the course of the mid-twentieth century, Doña Petrona C. de Gandulfo established herself as Argentina's leading domestic expert. Her popularity reached new heights when she began broadcasting her cooking lessons on television with her assistant, Juanita Bordoy. This article explores the model of domestic work portrayed by these two women in comparison to that of other Argentine homemakers and their paid help during the 1960s by drawing from a broad base of sources that includes oral histories, television programming, magazines, and government and legal documents. Such evidence suggests that Doña Petrona and Juanita Bordoy's public interactions were both captivating and open to critique because they enabled others to observe a typically private domestic relationship during a period in which many women's relationships to domesticity and to paid work were in flux. This article argues that, to understand the tensions surrounding these changes, we must shift our framework and our terminology. While scholars of Latin America have tended towards casting domestic work relationships as paternalistic, the bonds of power and affection between Doña Petrona and Juanita Bordoy-and countless other domestic pairs-were (and continue to be) more maternalistic in nature.

The role of law in regulating and mediating social inequality has been the subject of longstanding debates. While recent research on domestic service acknowledges the importance of regulation, the legal configuration of this activity sector is seldom assessed in a detailed or critical manner. This article builds on the claim that systematic observation should be dedicated to developments in the regulation of domestic service both in the local and international contexts.. The first part of the article focuses on the advancement of law regarding domestic service in Portugal. The Domestic Workers Convention adopted by the International Labor Organization in 2011 provides a context for examining persistent constraints on change toward social recognition and equity. Difference between domestic service workers and standard wage earners is analyzed in depth, and nine unsolved practicalities of domestic service regulation in Portugal are examined in light of the recent international convention. Gender and ethnicity are identified as lingering political foundations of this employment sector. The minimal participation of domestic workers and their representatives in regulatory processes raises serious concern. The historical lens is used to clarify current particularities in the regulation of the sector. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

For twenty years, the number of domestic jobs has been considered to be increasing in many countries. Several studies have highlighted the bad quality of these jobs, characterised by a high level of inequality between employers and employees. Other studies have looked at the other side of the market, focusing on the demand factors supporting the choice of outsourcing domestic tasks. These documents have made evident the importance of gender, race and class inequalities. Through the study of French data, this article aims to present three different ways to understand these inequalities: the first is based on a principle of specialization, while the second gives the spotlight to negotiation within the household. The third approach is based on the willingness to delegate menial tasks. Each of these motivations involves specific inequalities which are obstacles to the improvement of domestic job quality.

Domestic service comprises multiples dimensions that are related not only to the labour issues of women from popular sectors but also to the situation of social inequality that is at the root of this activity. The analysis that we propose in this text begins with the study of the construction of hierarchies and categorization that takes place in the context of interaction between employees and employers in the city of Buenos Aires. Specifically, this paper analyzes the place that food occupies in the context of the mentioned interactions, as an element through which social hierarchies are built. Our fieldwork was carried out in Buenos Aires, Argentina, between 2010 and 2011, following a qualitative approach. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article considers the history of domestic services in the city of Córdoba, Argentina, from the late 19th to the early 20th centuries. The author comments on the influence of the modernization of the city on female domestic workers and housekeepers during this time period, including urbanization, economic growth, and general industrialization. He also examines the commercial evolution of housekeeping services, which transitioned into a more formal business structure based on contractual obligations.

The essays by Cecilia Allemandi, Graciela Queirolo and Víctor Rocha Monsalve on women's labor in Buenos Aires and Santiago de Chile are debated within the context of changes which occurred in Latin American social history at the turn of the 19th to the 20th century. The articles dealt with women in domestic service, administration, commerce and public transport within the modernization process in the last decades of the 19th century and the first decades of the 20th century. Theoretical and methodological reflections on contemporary social history and its relationships with cultural history are provided. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Current research inscribes itself within the investigation on economical and social exchanges and proposes to show the importance that the domestic service had in the occupational milieu of Buenos Aires by the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century. An analysis is conducted on the transformations of the city economy, on the development of several sectors of labor activities and the most frequent work alternatives of the city's population. The size and the social composition of the social occupation group are constructed and the current difficulties that exist in studying the domestic service are evaluated. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The article looks at paid and unpaid household labor performed by women in the Mexican states of Chihuahua and Sonora during the Porfiriato. Particular focus is given to the effects of economic development on women, and to issues of gender and class in border areas. According to the author, changes to the workforce during this period limited women's opportunities to run their own businesses as seamstresses, laundresses, and food producers. It is suggested that modernization did not improve women's economic status, but that unpaid female labor was vital to liberal development. Topics discussed include domestic servants, the idea of gendered private and public spheres, and neocolonial political economics.
