Resumo: | This article aims to analyze the relationships between technologies, gender and non-domestic cleaning work. Feminist studies of technology have identified how technology performs gender. The text shows how technology is co-constructed with gender in its relationship to work, revealing how gender identity, gender roles and the gendered division of labor are all part of the socio-technical system. Focusing on non-domestic cleaning work in Argentina, this study examines the relationship between technologies and gender, considering both feminized identities and the often-overlooked masculinized ones. We also explore how male and female workers are linked to the technologies. used to optimize cleaning tasks and make them more efficient. A key finding is that the differentiated use of technologies explains the generalized division of non-domestic cleaning work and the reproduction of gendered power relations in the workplace.
