Female workers participation has been a prominent dimension in the analysis of Latin America agribusiness restructuration processes. Multiple studies describe women's presence in critical places within production process. Skills requires for this jobs are usually associated to socialization process instead of knowledge acquired through working experience. In this paper, I think about the construction of analytical tools that make possible to study women's experiences as agribusiness workers. Research was realized in Uco Valley, Mendoza province, Argentina, which is one of the most important productive areas of the country. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The work of Michel Foucault has been read from a feminist point of view in different ways. Feminist readers of Foucault have different opinions on the relevance and usefulness of Foucault's concepts and analyses. We argue that the dialogue between both positions has been complex but extremely interesting, both for feminist practices and for any analytics of power. In this paper we discuss some of the basic elements of agreement and disagreement that feminist authors have showed with Foucault. We finally argue that reading Foucault's work taking into account its feminist critique may be very useful in developing a deeper analysis of power relations. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
