Descrierea editorului

Miriam Wright, "Young Men and Technology: Government Attempts to Create a `Modern' Fisheries Workforce in Newfoundland, 1949-1970," Labour/Le Travail, 42 (Fall 1998), 143-59. MAKING ONE'S LIVING from the sea is an occupation around which whole mythologies have grown. Popularized through songs, stories, and pictures, the "man of the sea" is a romanticized vision of the people who actually make their living fishing. It is a particularly masculine stereotype, depicting a world fraught with danger, hardship, and inhabited by strong, risk-taking men who were socially isolated and resistant to change. Despite the pervasiveness of this image, the reality of gender relations in present and historic fisheries is far more complex, mediated as it is through social and economic relations of work and society. With the advent of heightened levels of state intervention in fishing economies in the second half of the 20th century, state institutions, policies, and practices have also come to play a role in shaping and mediating gender relations.
