Abstract: <\/strong><\/p>\n

“Care for the elderly is a contemporary issue of multi-level, feminist concern. In Switzerland, private agencies offer so-called 24-h care services, for which they place or employ mobile women as live-in caregivers in private households. The larger discourse has debated care workers\u2019 movements to Switzerland with much controversy. The article explores this interest in issues of mobility and place in an analysis of three central narratives within the larger discourse: care agencies\u2019 \u2018warmth\u2019 discourse, scholarship\u2019s uses of \u2018ethnicisation\u2019, and public discussions of \u2018female care migrants\u2019. Analysis of the narratives shows how care agencies ascribe care workers a particular \u2018heart-felt warmth\u2019 based on their so-called countries of origin. Scholarship\u2019s reference to processes of \u2018ethnicisation\u2019 in live-in care illustrates a similar focus on care workers\u2019 characteristics, nation-states, and nationalities. While the public discussion of care workers as \u2018female care migrants\u2019 frames care workers\u2019 movements as a migration between discreet and distant places. The article argues that the ways in which the three narratives emphasise the places associated with care workers position these places in terms of difference. From a feminist perspective, this focus on difference is of underlying significance for the perpetuation of fundamental inequities in live-in care. In particular, the discursive differentiation between nation states serves to continually justify lower pay for workers associated with \u2018other\u2019 places. As such, the article\u2019s analysis suggests that the discursive invocation of places of difference underlies the marked inequities in Swiss live-in care.”<\/p>\n

Resumen<\/h3>\n

“El cuidado de lxs ancianxs es un tema contempor\u00e1neo de preocupaci\u00f3n para el feminismo en m\u00faltiples niveles. En Suiza, las agencias privadas ofrecen los llamados servicios de cuidado de 24 hrs por los cuales se ubican o emplean a mujeres mobiles como cuidadoras con cama adentro en hogares privados. El discurso m\u00e1s amplio ha debatido los movimientos de lxs trabajadorxs del cuidado hacia Suiza con mucha controversia. El art\u00edculo analiza este inter\u00e9s en temas de movilidad y lugar en un an\u00e1lisis de tres narrativas centrales dentro del discurso m\u00e1s amplio: el discurso \u2018c\u00e1lido\u2019 de las agencias de cuidado, el uso de la \u2018etnificaci\u00f3n\u2019 por parte de lxs acad\u00e9micxs, y las discusiones p\u00fablicas de las \u2018migrantes cuidadoras mujeres\u2019. El an\u00e1lisis de las narrativas muestra c\u00f3mo las agencias de cuidado adscriben a las cuidadoras del cuidado una particular \u2018calidez sincera\u2019 basada en sus llamados pa\u00edses de origen. La referencia de lxs acad\u00e9micxs a los procesos de \u2018etnificaci\u00f3n\u2019 en el cuidado con cama adentro ilustra un foco similar sobre las caracter\u00edsticas de las trabajadoras, los Estados-naci\u00f3n y las nacionalidades. Mientras tanto, la discusi\u00f3n p\u00fablica de los movimientos de las trabajadoras del cuidado como \u2018mujeres migrantes del cuidado\u2019 enmarca a los movimientos de las trabajadoras del cuidado como una migraci\u00f3n entre lugares definidos y distantes. El art\u00edculo sostiene que las formas en que las tres narrativas enfatizan los lugares asociados con las trabajadoras del cuidado posicionan a estos sitios en t\u00e9rminos de diferencia. Desde una perspectiva feminista, este foco en la diferencia tiene una importancia clave en la perpetuaci\u00f3n de las desigualdades fundamentales en el cuidado con cama adentro. En particular, la diferenciaci\u00f3n discursiva entre los Estados-naci\u00f3n sirve para justificar continuamente un pago menor para las trabajadoras asociadas con \u2018otros\u2019 pa\u00edses. As\u00ed, el an\u00e1lisis del art\u00edculo sugiere que esta invocaci\u00f3n discursiva de lugares de diferencia subyace a las desigualdades marcadas en el cuidado con cama adentro en Suiza.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
