  • Career, Class, and Social Reproduction in the Life Stories of Outsourced Cleaners Felipe Silveira de Souza Ana Heloisa da Costa Lemos Administración y Contabilidad Career Bourdieu boundaries social class life stories In this paper, we employ the life story method to investigate the multiple boundaries that, visible or invisibly, have influenced the trajectories of outsourced cleaners working in organizations, delimiting their career opportunities. Based on the Bourdieusian framework, we aim to contribute to the expansion of the debate in the field of career studies by emphasizing the influence of the contextual dimension of analysis in the career construction process. Above all, we privilege a social class perspective, scarcely present in career studies, in which the dominance of constructs such as boundaryless and protean careers reflects the typical emphasis attributed to individual agency. Access to the life stories of the respondents enabled us to unveil multiple boundaries interposed throughout their trajectories, associated with family (family disorganization and early transitions: maternity, conjugality, and insertion into domestic work), educational (early school dropout), neighborhood (local ties associated with low career returns), and professional (intersubjective relationships associated with experiences of pleasure and social humiliation) contexts. Taken together, these boundaries ended up circumscribing the topography of their careers by largely limiting them to providing care and cleaning services. 2023 artículo científico 1807-7692 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=84176391004 https://www.redalyc.org/journal/841/84176391004/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/841/84176391004/html/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/841/84176391004/84176391004.epub https://www.redalyc.org/journal/841/84176391004/movil 10.1590/1807-7692bar2023230026 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=841 BAR - Brazilian Administration Review application/pdf Associação Nacional de Pós-Graduação e Pesquisa em Administração BAR - Brazilian Administration Review (Brasil) Num.4 Vol.20
