          Abstract

          Resumo As desigualdades de género na academia neoliberal têm vindo a ser abordadas através de diferentes perspetivas: articulação entre vida privada, familiar e profissional; divisão desigual do trabalho administrativo; expectativas dissemelhantes em relação ao trabalho emocional; assédio moral, entre outros. A pandemia exacerbou estas desigualdades, ao mesmo tempo que trouxe novos desafios para as docentes e investigadoras. A implementação do modelo de trabalho remoto nas instituições de ensino superior e científicas concomitante com a suspensão das aulas presenciais em creches e escolas, bem como com a interrupção dos serviços de apoios ao cuidado de pessoas adultas em situação de dependência, impôs novos contratempos para a articulação das exigências da vida pessoal, familiar e profissional para as mulheres. A partir de uma metodologia mista que engloba um inquérito online (n = 607), dois grupos focais com docentes, investigadores e investigadoras, e 17 entrevistas em profundidade com mulheres que exercem atividades de docência e de investigação, procurámos analisar de que forma, no contexto das instituições de ensino superior e científicas portuguesas, as mulheres experienciaram e negociaram a passagem para o trabalho remoto no que diz respeito às demandas de articulação entre vida privada, pessoal e profissional.

          Translated abstract

          Abstract Gender inequalities in higher education and scientific institutions in the neoliberal context have been approached from different perspectives: articulation between private, family and professional lives; unequal division of faculty work; dissimilar expectations regarding emotional work; moral harassment and etc. The Covid-19 pandemic has exacerbated these inequalities while posing new challenges for teachers and researchers women. The implementation of the remote work model in higher education and scientific institutions, simultaneous to the suspension of face-to-face classes in day care centers and schools and the interruption of support services for the care of dependent adults, imposed new setbacks for the articulation of personal, family and private lives work-life balance for academic women. Using a mixed methodology comprising an online survey (n = 607), 17 in-depth interviews with women teachers and researches and two mixed focus groups, we analyze how, in the context of Portuguese higher education and scientific institutions, teachers and researches women experienced and negotiated the transition to remote work with regard to the demands personal, family and professional lives.

              The Managed Heart : Commercialization of Human Feeling

              In private life, we try to induce or suppress love, envy, and anger through deep acting or "emotion work," just as we manage our outer expressions of feeling through surface acting. In trying to bridge a gap between what we feel and what we "ought" to feel, we take guidance from "feeling rules" about what is owing to others in a given situation. Based on our private mutual understandings of feeling rules, we make a "gift exchange" of acts of emotion management. We bow to each other not simply from the waist, but from the heart.<br> <br> But what occurs when emotion work, feeling rules, and the gift of exchange are introduced into the public world of work? In search of the answer, Arlie Hochschild closely examines two groups of public-contact workers: flight attendants and bill collectors. The flight attendant’s job is to deliver a service and create further demand for it, to enhance the status of the customer and be "nicer than natural." The bill collector’s job is to collect on the service, and if necessary, to deflate the status of the customer by being "nastier than natural." Between these extremes, roughly one-third of American men and one-half of American women hold jobs that call for substantial emotional labor. In many of these jobs, they are trained to accept feeling rules and techniques of emotion management that serve the company’s commercial purpose.<br> <br> Just as we have seldom recognized or understood emotional labor, we have not appreciated it cost to those who do it for a living. Like a physical laborer who becomes estranged from what he or she makes, an emotional laborer, such as a flight attendant, can become estranged not only from her own expressions of feeling (her smile is not "her" smile), but also from what she actually feels (her managed friendliness). This estrangement, though a valuable defense against stress, is also an important occupational hazard, because it is through our feelings that we are connected with those around us.<br> <br> On the basis of this book, Hochschild was featured in Key Sociological Thinkers, edited by Rob Stones. This book was also the winner of the Charles Cooley Award in 1983, awarded by the American Sociological Association and received an honorable mention for the C. Wright Mills Award.
