Design, heteronormatividade e condições de trabalho: reflexões sobre corpo, gênero e precarização do designer

Abstract

The present work aims to outline the ways in which design acts as an agent of heteronormative identities that will serve the heterocentric model from which capitalism feeds. The research also seeks to show how the class of designers finds themselves hostage to an agenda of precarious work that prevents them from having any intellectual autonomy under their production, being obstinate in meeting the demands of the contracting class, which, commits exclusively to the profits of its production. Throughout the chapters, I will analyze issues related to heteronormativity in design, working conditions, race, social class and daily life in a design school. From these observations, we will access reflections that combine these analyzes in order to understand how the precariousness of the designer works in favor of maintaining a heteronormative capitalist system.
