Convenience technologies have the ability to change the way people do reproductive labor, or labor associated with caregiving and domestic roles, in their households. Reproductive labor is disproportionately performed by women across the globe and underpins capitalism by creating cheap labor. This article investigates how convenience technology challenges and reinforces gender roles and socioeconomic class for urban Moroccans. Although experiences of “convenience” are highly variable, gender and socioeconomic class influence experiences of convenience technologies. Convenience technologies help urban Moroccan women by opening up reproductive labor to men and children but, simultaneously, hurt urban Moroccan women by devaluing their reproductive labor in relation to men's labor. Convenience technologies reinforce socioeconomic class by supporting a household's reputation and validating urban Moroccans' perceptions of themselves as citizens of a developed nation-state. Besides expressing class, convenience technologies can contribute to a restructuring of women's position within the household. The article analyzes data collected during seventeen months of ethnographic fieldwork in Rabat-Salé, Morocco, from 2018 to 2019. I conducted fifty-three semistructured interviews with married middle- and lower-class Moroccans in Moroccan Arabic, as well as extensive informal participant observation. I analyze the gendered and classed politics of reproductive labor in relation to convenience technologies.

“机器做到了!”:使用便利技术分析摩洛哥城市的护理、生殖劳动、性别和阶级

便利技术有能力改变人们在家庭中进行生殖劳动或与照顾和家务相关的劳动的方式。全球女性不成比例地从事生殖劳动,并通过创造廉价劳动力支撑资本主义。本文调查了便利技术如何挑战和加强摩洛哥城市人的性别角色和社会经济阶层。尽管“便利”的体验变化很大,但性别和社会经济阶层会影响便利技术的体验。便利技术通过向男性和儿童开放生殖劳动来帮助摩洛哥城市妇女,但同时,由于相对于男性劳动而言,她们的生殖劳动贬值,从而伤害了摩洛哥城市妇女。便利技术通过支持家庭的声誉和验证城市摩洛哥人将自己视为发达国家公民的看法来加强社会经济阶层。除了表达阶级之外,便利技术还有助于女性在家庭中的地位重组。本文分析了 2018 年至 2019 年在摩洛哥拉巴特萨莱进行的 17 个月民族志田野调查收集的数据。我对摩洛哥阿拉伯语已婚中下层摩洛哥人进行了 53 次半结构化访谈,以及广泛的非正式参与观察. 我分析了与便利技术相关的生殖劳动的性别和阶级政治。将自己视为发达国家公民的看法。除了表达阶级之外,便利技术还有助于女性在家庭中的地位重组。本文分析了 2018 年至 2019 年在摩洛哥拉巴特萨莱进行的 17 个月民族志田野调查收集的数据。我对摩洛哥阿拉伯语已婚的中下层摩洛哥人进行了 53 次半结构化访谈,以及广泛的非正式参与观察. 我分析了与便利技术相关的生殖劳动的性别和阶级政治。将自己视为发达国家公民的看法。除了表达阶级之外,便利技术还有助于女性在家庭中的地位重组。本文分析了 2018 年至 2019 年在摩洛哥拉巴特萨莱进行的 17 个月民族志田野调查收集的数据。我对摩洛哥阿拉伯语已婚中下层摩洛哥人进行了 53 次半结构化访谈,以及广泛的非正式参与观察. 我分析了与便利技术相关的生殖劳动的性别和阶级政治。从 2018 年到 2019 年。我用摩洛哥阿拉伯语对已婚的中下层摩洛哥人进行了 53 次半结构化访谈,以及广泛的非正式参与者观察。我分析了与便利技术相关的生殖劳动的性别和阶级政治。从 2018 年到 2019 年。我用摩洛哥阿拉伯语对已婚的中下层摩洛哥人进行了 53 次半结构化访谈,以及广泛的非正式参与者观察。我分析了与便利技术相关的生殖劳动的性别和阶级政治。
