Momentos uma etnografia fotográfica: as mulheres que trabalham no setor de limpeza e conservação na Universidade Federal de Uberlândia

Abstract

This following work aims to present an ethnographic artistic study of selected women who work in the cleaning and conservation sector at one of the outsourced companies of the Federal University of Uberlândia. I use photography as a language to express my gaze and offer visibility to the position they find themselves at. I describe the characteristics of the sector, the operation and the impact of the ethnographic method. I expose the situations in which they find themselves in the context of the university, and how these circumstances bring about changes in their collective identities. As the study progressed, a photobook consisting of photographs of the profession's universe, a logbook and reports on the obstacles that the women's group faced in 2019 were produced.
