Abstract

The world of work and its dynamics in contemporary society has visibly reflected in the field of workers' health. The emerging dilemmas of the new morphologies of work, caused by the capitalist system, are determining factors of working conditions and health, analyzed from the inseparable relationship between social, political and economic life. It is in the context of advances and setbacks that this study shows the protagonism of working women, making the debate between “work-health-disease” indispensable, reaffirming a critical reflection on the subject. The study was configured with the general objective of analyzing the relationships and implications of working conditions on the health of women workers at the allegory shed of Boi Caprichoso, contemplating the concerns about the changes, transformations and contradictions that the boi-bumbá party of Parintins it has been passing by; its initial organizational forms have gained new guises, identified through new standardizations, to achieve greater fundraising. The dialectical historical materialism method was used in this study, as well as bibliographic research and field research, containing qualitative interviews as a collection instrument. The research was based on a sample of 3 female “contracted” workers and 1 administrative staff; most have functions defined as prop makers and allegory pastry makers, they are “informal salaried workers without registration”, analyzed through the following indicators: informality; precariousness; multifunctionality; subcontracting; gender inequality and flexibility. In this way, the research revealed that the presence of female workers in this territory is still negligible; they are inserted under minimum conditions of work, of precariousness, in addition, there is no implementation of public policies, being violated in this work territory, in the city of Parintins.
