This work has as an element of problematization the discourses of domestic employers about female employees, in the close relationship with the issues of class, race, gender and subjectivities. In this scenario, we have chosen as a general objective, to analyze the discourses of women from the local Tianguá elite on female domestic workers from the intersection of race, class, gender and subjectivity. The specific objectives are: to describe the trajectories of women from the local elite who have female domestic workers; reflect on the regulations established in the employer-employee relationship, in the context of the marks of whiteness; problematize the (re)configurations in the employer/employee relationship from the discursive arrangements arising from the post-PEC scenario of domestic workers. The research was developed in the Dom Timóteo neighborhood, Tianguá-CE, on a path based on decolonial and intersectional epistemological understandings. Our methodological path was based on the principles of qualitative research, ethnographic and autoethnographic in nature. The subjects of the study were white women of the local elite, who employ domestic workers and live in the neighborhood. As instruments of meaning production in this work, we made use of narrative and semi-structured interviews, conversation circle, participant observation, and field diary, in addition to the self-reflection processes that constitute autoethnography. For the analyses we will use Critical Discourse Analysis. At the end of the study we are led to face domestic workers, white and wealthy women, who have constituted themselves in a place of power and privilege that, following the echoes of patriarchal and Eurocentric colonialist societies, echo speeches and attitudes sustained from the false idea of legitimacy and naturalization of the place of command, which authorize them to speak of/for their maids, against the backdrop of the workplace and the hierarchies woven from this.
