The invisibility of domestic slave labor is the theme of this dissertation, in which it is intended to analyze how the affect present in the relationship of domestic service maintains invisible conditions of exploitation and perpetuates the position of subalternity of the women who perform this work. To this end, the study is divided into four parts. In the first, it presents a spin on the history of domestic work in Imperial Brazil. In the second, the concept of affect and subalternity are analyzed, showing the materialization of the former in the space of the house. In the third, the binarisms of race, gender and class are presented in the indicators of domestic work and it discusses how the affect manifested in the like “one of the family” subordinates and imposes borders on the daily lives of domestic workers. In the fourth, the phenomenon of slave labor is examined, analyzing the few cases of domestic slave labor in Brazil, in order to evidence affect as a factor of silence and exclusion. The study which is intersectional presents a legal-sociological point of view in its historical perspective; performs a bibliographic review; study of judicial and extrajudicial proceedings; and unstructured interviews as a methodology. In the end, it reflects on the role of affect in the perpetuation of gender coloniality that maintains over time the invisibility of domestic slave labor.
