Abstract
CASTANO-GONZALEZ, Eugenio. Rest for work: from psychological fatigue to the universe of stress. Colombia 1937-1991. Hist. Soc. [online]. 2017, n.32, pp.49-82. ISSN 0121-8417. https://doi.org/10.15446/hys.n32.58888.
This article describes the forms of objectification of a series of risks, behaviours and psychological practices destined to optimize output in Colombian workplaces from 1937 to 1991. The article explains how this gradual attention to the emotional aspects of Colombian workers, shown via psychological fatigue and stress, was linked to and broken down by two fundamental aspects: the first, marked by the gradual process of urbanization and industrialization that Colombia experienced in the period in question; and the second, due to the opening out of a major process of the “psychologization” of one’s private life, from the second half of the 20th century.
