This book explores gendered aspects in the memory of work by
looking at auto/biographical narratives and political writings of
women workers in the garment industry. The author draws on cutting
edge theoretical approaches and insights in memory studies,
neo-materialism and discourse analysis, particularly looking at
entanglements and intra-actions between places, bodies and objects.
Tamboukou aims to enrich our appreciation of the role of women's
labour history in the wider realm of cultural memory, as well as in
the politics of women's work. The book addresses a significant gap
in the literature by focusing on the memory of work from a gendered
perspective. It also examines the relationship between workspaces
and personal spaces: the intimate, intense and often invisible ways
through which workers occupy workspaces and populate them with
their ideas, emotions, beliefs, habits and everyday practices. The
book will be a theoretical and methodological toolbox for students
and researchers in the interface of the social sciences and the
humanities, as well as a vital resource in women's labour history.
It will be particularly relevant for sociologists, cultural
theorists, feminist scholars and social historians.
