| description | The article brings reflections on labor relations and the specific type of poultry confinement based on data collected in a rural community in Ubiratã-PR. Taking poultry farming as a plantation system, the author followed the routine of a family of employees and residents and could see how, despite being independent contractors, their degrees of freedom are very limited. In addition to transforming the pace of the cycle of plants, animals and people, with a set of techniques and technologies that accelerate the growth of chickens, making farmers need to adapt to the accelerated pace, the dependence of the plantation on some kind of forced labor, in Donna Haraway's terms, became evident. The workers' lives are reoriented around the schedules and needs of the confined animals, all to keep them alive until the end of the batch. A combination of work in large-scale production and small-scale subsistence farming around the house under strict sanitary conditions is perceived, in addition to an intensification of the domination of the sphere of work over the domestic sphere, mainly in monitoring the temperature conditions during the heating period and at night. |

O artigo traz reflexões sobre as relações de trabalho e o tipo específico de confinamento da avicultura a partir de dados coletados em uma comunidade rural em Ubiratã-PR. Tomando a avicultura como sistema de plantation, a autora acompanhou a rotina de uma família de funcionários e moradores e pôde perceber como, apesar de serem contratados independentes, os seus graus de liberdade são muito reduzidos. Além de transformar o ritmo do ciclo de plantas, animais e pessoas, com um conjunto de técnicas e tecnologias que aceleram o crescimento dos frangos, fazendo com que os granjeiros precisem se adaptar ao ritmo acelerado, ficou evidente a dependência da plantation de algum tipo de trabalho forçado, nos termos de Donna Haraway. As vidas dos trabalhadores são reorientadas a partir dos horários e das necessidades dos animais confinados, tudo para mantê-los vivos até o fim do lote. Percebe-se uma combinação entre trabalho na produção em larga escala e pequena agricultura de subsistência em torno da casa em condições de rigor sanitário, além de uma intensificação da dominação da esfera do trabalho sobre a doméstica, principalmente na vigilância às condições de temperatura no período de aquecimento e durante a noite.
