| description | With the objective of identifying the specificity of the Latin American feminist discussion on the work of caregiving, several overlapping elements are analyzed that define it. The centrality of the maternal figure and the family ideology that emphasizes the relational character of caregiving is highlighted and the consequent tensions in feminist debates before the definition of care as work are analyzed. From a critical perspective of the “caregiving ethic,” the construction of a conceptual framework is discussed, one that is composed of the concept of the sustainability of life and the notion of caregiving as a human right, which reconciles the responsibility and the obligation of caregiving work in its material and relational characters in its construction as a public problem in the region. |

With the objective of identifying the specificity of the Latin American feminist discussion on the work of caregiving, several overlapping elements are analyzed that define it. The centrality of the maternal figure and the family ideology that emphasizes the relational character of caregiving is highlighted and the consequent tensions in feminist debates before the definition of care as work are analyzed. From a critical perspective of the “caregiving ethic,” the construction of a conceptual framework is discussed, one that is composed of the concept of the sustainability of life and the notion of caregiving as a human right, which reconciles the responsibility and the obligation of caregiving work in its material and relational characters in its construction as a public problem in the region. Con el objetivo de identificar la especificidad de la discusión feminista latinoamericana sobre el trabajo de cuidados, se analizan algunos elementos imbricados que lo definen. Se resaltan la centralidad de la figura materna y la ideología familista que enfatizan el carácter relacional de los cuidados y se analizan las tensiones consecuentes en los debates feministas frente a la definición del cuidado como trabajo. Desde una mirada crítica de la ética del cuidado se discute la construcción de un marco conceptual compuesto por el concepto de sostenibilidad de la vida y la noción de cuidados como derecho humano, que concilie la responsabilidad y la obligación del trabajo de cuidados en su carácter material y relacional en su construcción como problema público en la región.
