“It’s very exhausting sometimes all, the combo”. Perceptions and emotions about days in dual presence of self-employed mothers in Rafaela (Santa Fe, Argentina) ; “Es muy agotador a veces todo, el combo”. Percepciones y emociones sobre jornadas en doble presencia de madres cuentapropistas en Rafaela (Santa Fe, Argentina)

In this paper we aim to contribute to social studies of female self-employment, observing this phenomenon from a city in the interior of Argentina, such a Rafaela, located in the province of Santa Fe. Specifically, the objective is to analyze perceptions and emotions associated with the productive and reproductive work of female self-employed mothers working in double presence, as a way to advance in the identification of certain self-employed sensibilities.

Therefore, we focus on perceptions and emotions in relation to their works in order to investigate social sensibilities, understood as ways of feeling that emerge from the devices for regulating sensations and mechanisms of social support that neutralize the present conflict. ; En este escrito se pretende aportar a los estudios sociales sobre el cuentapropismo femenino, observando este fenómeno en una ciudad del interior del Argentina, como es Rafaela, ubicada en la provincia de Santa Fe.
