Abstract

Slaughterhouse worker¿s affects, concepts, gestures, positons and courses of action present how emic sex-gender and animality marks relate to each other in three industrial plants located in the state of São Paulo, Brazil. The regularity with which both of these distinguishable regimes of social marking matter in the arrangement of the interactions herein addressed, in its endownment of subjet status to entities and relations, indicate that objectification, although the favoured key for understanding and explaning industrial slaughter in specialized literature, is not the only adequate one. The analysis of the lines in which the relation between marks of animality and sex-gender are drawn and draw themselves throughout this context, specially in what they pertain to space and work, suggest a certain manner of dealing adequately with the consecutive actualization of different or even incoherent more or less colletive modes of acting, felling and thinking, which in turn sheds light on how objectification and subjectification can operate in parallel, as well as on how sex-gender, "species" and class domination may relate in that context. The primary data featured in this document were crafted between the years of 2014 and 2015, by means of narrative interviews, in situ observation and informal interaction, all of which were conceived, conducted, registered and analysed in a fashion deeply inspired in bourdieusian praxeology, as criticized by Lahire and Boltanski, as well as in indications of authors of different traditions in social thought or anthropology, such as Haraway, Strathern, Latour, Ingold, Bauer, Becker, James e Doubrowsky. The data built on the review of historigraphic literature on the industrialization of slaughter and on the review of recent industrial slaughter enthnography also compose the significant index for the final thesis we present (AU)
