Resumo
The present work seeks to understand the identity relations (DUBAR, 2009) of the workers of the Military Fire Brigade of the State of Goiás-Brazil, in a critical perspective of gender inequality (SIMPSON & LEWIS, 2007) still faced by them within the institution. The research turns to the attempt to break in with sexual social representations of the profession conferred by work colleagues and by society, still as a masculine activity (BAIÃO, 2006). The strong positive representation of the profession throughout the world corroborates to illustrate, as in socially recognized work the number of women is still scarce (WILLIAMS, 1989), taking into account in particular the statutory legality of insertion quotas in the firemen of Goiás, which gives women a percentage of only 10% of the number of places. The scientific methodology was based on the accomplishment of twenty semi-structured interviews (FLICK, 2004) with the referred workers, seeking an analysis based on the recognition of their work capacities, power of command within the institution, values and needs still to be contemplated in the workplace and health. The focus was on the relationship between being a firefighter, military man, mother and wife, trying to highlight the double (and / or triple) journey to which they are exposed, while noting the discourse of some heads of families. We point out a significant differentiation in the discourses regarding those who work in the operational service and those who work in the administrative service, especially in relation to physical and psychic exhaustion (DEJOURS, 1990; 1992; 1995; 1998) sometimes made by the activities of barracks sometimes through the adversities of reconciliation between home, children and work. At first, we find that the identity of the firefighter, contrary to the one pointed out by the society that considers them as "heroines", this social fallacy contradicts the professional
discourse of the firemen who preach technical rationality and commitment as basic
requirements for the exercise of work. Because it is a sector of public security services, we noticed a late process of insertion of these professionals when compared to other institutions, which provided a basis for currently occurring asymmetrical relations between
genders. In this space, there are exhibitions of research results from the National Secretariat of Public Security, counterbalanced to feminist theories of labor sociology and
identity, and those contemplated in field research, made via google docs with 105 goiás
firefighters. We also discuss the implications of the working day in comparison to other
areas of civil work seeking to highlight the understanding of the military context, barracks
life, professional public acceptance and their clashes with the gender relations, which very
much represent situations of moral harassment and sex with these professionals.
