  • double shift transforming work in postsocialist and Postindustrial Societies a u s post soviet dialogue
    Industrial and Labor Relations Review, 1994
    Co-Authors: James G Scoville, Bertram Silverman, Robert Vogt, Murray Yanowitch
    Abstract:

    In the words of George F. Kennan, Russia remains a region where "the conflicts of outlook and persuasion" have been as violent as any seen in our century. As crisis follows crisis, Western observers find the tragic complexities and cruel paradoxes of post-totalitarian Russia no less mystifying than those they encountered during the Soviet era. Looking beyond the horizon and cutting beneath the headlines, in Remaking Russia eighteen distinguished essayists of diverse backgrounds offer original insights on the three central questions Russians are now debating among themselves: Who are we? Where are we going? How do we get there? Their perspectives will retain their long-term relevance whatever the outcome of Kremlin power struggles.

  • Conceptual and Spatial Migrations: Rural Gay Men's Quest for Identity
    2013
    Co-Authors: Alexis Annes, Meredith Redlin
    Abstract:

    This chapter explores the link between the construction of sexual identity, expressions of masculinity and mobility practices between rural and urban spaces in two countries, France and the United States. These countries are used for comparative study because both constitute Postindustrial Societies where rural spaces have undergone significant changes, and whose rural spaces are sources of rural romanticism promoting heterosexuality and marginalizing other sexual orientations. Also, while both countries manifest diversity in rural areas, heterosexual norms and traditional masculinities continue to culturally define them. Based on the life narratives of 30 self-identified rural gay men, this chapter defines how gay men (mostly White working-or middle-class) build their sense of self through back-and-forth movements between urban and rural settings. By contrasting French and American case studies, we present the significant, but nonetheless ambivalent, role of the city in the building of their sexual identity. We argue that the sexual identity construction of our research participants does not happen through experience in the city, but rather, it is a process occurring through their movement within and between rural and urban spaces. In conclusion, we highlight, in contrast to previous studies, that the impetus to rural return for these men is based in the adapted values, traditions and representations of the rural space.
