- Title
From "Death in the family" to "Freud's Nanny": an homage to Mariza Corrêa.

- Abstract
This article, an homage to Mariza Corrêa, looks at two of her most important works: Morte em família [Death in the Family] (1983) and "A babá de Freud e outras babás" [ Freud's nanny and other nannies] (2007). In the first, Mariza revealed the articulations between gender and class that permeate the legal system's treatment of crimes committed by men and women in conjugal relations. In the second, her next to last article, the issue of Freud's nanny is the inspiration to examine the torn fabric of relations between class and race in Brazil. Far from being a "minor" issue, Mariza shows that the theme of nannies is important to both the understanding of the economy of emotions and to the feminist reflection in contemporary Brazil.
