Daily life world of women working in café con piernas. Comprehensive analysis

Abstract

The objective of this work is to show knowledge about the meanings of the daily-life experience of women working at café con piernas in Concepción; through a comprehensive/socio-phenomenological line, the paper will show comparative elements with the same coffee shops located in Santiago. The daily life at café con piernas construct a specific space/time where, based on buying/selling relation, the interaction codes are exacerbated. It gives origin to the grammar of café con piernas. So much so that the women workers called consumir un consumo (consume a consumption) to buy anything at the store. The socio-phenomenological exercise will go with qualitative and ethnographic methods; and will permit to think sociohistorical process with value-normative tensions around conservative, postfeminist and neoliberal discourses based on ways of consume.
