LOCUS 2 Food Handler professionals of a confessional
elementary school founded in 1960;
1 nutritionist “ (…) do exactly what is on the menu, since they hold regular meetings
when attention is called as to the procedures that are not followed. They can change the menu only with my permission! When I realize that something is wrong I go there and undo what is inadequate that´s why they realized that they should not try to change. Whenever I can I stay after my leaving hour and check the manipulation locations”.

CHANGES IN THE PRESCRIBED GENRE
Love expression:“We must give good food, give love, talk to them because they are away from their parents, right?, (...) and so far, I haven´t left because of them, right? (...)[ sic]” and of FH2: “We gotta love it [sic], right?, as in our case working with children. We gotta love [sic] children, love, we must always be fine to show them”.
Sense of responsibility: FH1 “(...) if we do not handle well, do not give a good food, it is hard (...). We gotta give good food (...)” and FH2 “(...) it´s delicious and it makes the hair grow, look good, have a beautiful skin”.

CHANGES IN THE PRESCRIBED GENRE
Positive feelings: “The feeling goes (...) the food will not be good (...) I don´t know... suddenly I start to cook ... then suddenly I start to sing, so I think it´s better (...)” and FH2 “if we have a nervous trouble things end up spreading (...) we gotta do with love and serve with love, right? And if you have any kind of problem, so you shouldn´t because it doesn´t work, understand? (...) Because.... love and desire is what we must have, because otherwise it would not work”.
Changes in the menu: “Oh I vary quite a lot! But there is some stuff that children don´t eat, we gotta do something different” and FH2 “I obey the nutritionist. She explains that, kind of, we gotta follow things because she knows what is best for the children”.

RESEARCH FINDINGS A restrictive, regulated and prescribing tasks gender with a high
degree of mechanicity of workers, subjected to constant surveillance, stripped of autonomy in the conduct of everyday tasks.
Two styles inside of a same gende:
FH1 less attachment to rules and regulations;
FH2 higher conditioning the standards, rules and impositions of the genre.
The style is a proper subject motion within a certain genre.

FINAL THOUGHTS
Understand that style renews the genre (even though it does not agree) reveals that the invention practiced by the subjects within the activity - called stylistic invention - is necessary because if it does not exist the genre itself is in danger to be extinguished. 10
