Capital Culture [PDF ebook] 
Gender at Work in the City

Dukung

The changing nature of waged work in contemporary advanced
industrial nations is one of the most significant aspects of
political and economic debate. It is also the subject of intense
debate among observers of gender. Capital Culture explores
these changes focusing particularly on the gender relations between
the men and women who work in the financial services sector. The
multiple ways in which masculinities and femininities are
constructed is revealed through the analysis of interviews with
dealers, traders, analysts and corporate financiers.
Drawing on a range of disciplinary approaches, the various ways
in which gender segregation is established and maintained is
explored. In fascinating detail, the everyday experiences of men
and women working in a range of jobs and in different spaces, from
the dealing rooms to the boardrooms, are examined. This volume is
unique in focusing on men as well as women, showing that for men
too there are multiple ways of doing gender at work.
