    • Abstract:
      This paper seeks to debate the dynamics existing between users of and trainers in a home care course for illegal immigrants in Barcelona. The analysis of these dynamics reveals the ambivalence of the help and support devices used by immigrants. These devices expose distant and top-down social positions (Spanish citizen /immigrant-foreigner), as well as alliances between users and trainers based on their shared identification as "employees" vis-à-vis the "lady of the house". Our analysis also reveals the importance of care work for the reproduction of life and also the lack of social recognition, low pay and poor legal coverage this type of job gets in the labour market.

    • Abstract:
      El artículo busca problematizar las dinámicas que se establecen entre usua-rias y formadoras de un curso de cuidados del hogar, dirigido a personas inmigrantes en situación irregular en la ciudad de Barcelona. A partir del análisis de dichas dinámicas, perfilamos la ambivalencia de los dispositivos formativos implementados para ofrecer ayuda o apoyo a las personas inmigrantes. En dichos dispositivos es posible reconocer posiciones sociales jerarquizadas y distantes--nacional/inmigrante-extranjero--, así como alianzas en las identificaciones comunes--la "empleada"/la "señora"--. A la luz del análisis, se hace patente, primero, la necesidad de las tareas de cuidado para la reproducción de la vida y, segundo, su escaso reconocimiento social y su exigua remuneración y cobertura legal--cuando son ofrecidas en el mercado laboral--.
