Enunciating outrage
This article focuses on winter pedestrian conditions and sidewalk clearing activism in the Canadian city of St. John’s where most sidewalks are left uncleared over its long winters. The study employs ethnographic methods, with a focus on participants’ autoethnographic accounts of navigating the city in winter and advocating for changes in snow clearing – accounts that also form the core of a documentary film directed by the authors. The findings …

Precarious mobility and spectacle dwelling on a ferry commute
Precarious mobilities caused by insufficient capacity or unplanned stoppages of public transportation services can result in line-ups that are as much a part of commuters’ daily routines as travel itself. This article explores how excessive line-ups can be analyzed as forms of spectacle dwelling in the context of a Canadian aquamobile transportation corridor on Conception Bay, linking Bell Island to the main island of Newfoundland. For several de…
Re-working mobilities
Over the last decade, an increasing number of geographers and other social science researchers have deployed the insights of the new mobilities paradigm to study work, labour, and employment. These insights include attention to the meanings, practices, and politics of work-related movement as well as to multiple spatial and temporal scales and types of im/mobility for and at work. In a review of this literature, we find five different vantage poi…

Putting mobility theory to work
Although the "mobility turn" has captured the critical imaginations of researchers studying an array of topics, its possible contributions to analyses of the spectrum of employment-related geographical mobility have only begun to be defined. Studies of work have engaged with the growing body of mobility theory in limited ways; by the same token, mobilities studies have taken a somewhat narrow and sometimes uncritical view of work, labor, and empl…

Towards A Feminist Political Economy Framework for Analyzing Employment-Related Geographical Mobility
This article develops a feminist political economy framework for analyzing employment-related geographical mobility. We emphasize the relevance of political economy studies of class, neoliberalism, and globalization as well as feminist research on the interconnectedness between paid employment and social reproduction. Overall, we make the case for attending to how class, gender, racialization and/or ethnicity, citizenship, and other forms of diff…

Souvenirs and cultural politics in Santiago de Compostela
This article focuses on the visual landscape created by displays of souvenirs for sale in the Galician capital of Santiago de Compostela. It demonstrates that images of St. James and other Catholic symbols compete with more recent representations of the pilgrimage to Santiago, including the modernist mascot O Peregrn created for the 1993 Holy Year. Equally prevalent are souvenirs that constitute reflections on Galician culture, ranging from folkl…

Bioregulation and Comida Caseira in Rural Galicia, Spain
As elsewhere in Spain and Europe, many Galician families are heavily engaged in raising and processing home-raised foods directed mainly toward household subsistence and non-commoditized exchange relationships among households. This activity of producing comida caseira or "home-raised foods" contrasts sharply with the expanded availability of a wide range of packaged, preprocessed food items that are heavily sealed, numbered, and stamped. Over th…

Guest Editor's Preface
Going Over to the Other Side
Through a layered presentation of the ethnographic context in which oral memory narratives associated with death are recounted in a rural municipality in Galida (in northwestern Spain), this article explores the broader emotional and political aspects of memory practices in this part of Europe. Through sharing their memories of death and warnings of impending death, Galician worker-peasants affirm sociality over privately experienced feelings. As…
Strong Women" and "Pretty Girls
In this article I examine expressions of class and gender identity in a worker-peasant community in rural Galicia (Spain). While men who have worked for decades in migrant destinations define their own class positionality partly through reference to the unpaid, subsistence work that is performed mainly by women who remain in the community, these same women adeptly "code switch" between "strong woman" and '"pretty girl" demeanors through their wor…

Celebrating Silenced Words
How We Built the Road
In considering the symbolic constitution of history at a local level, ethnographers are confronted with the way in which memories are constructed around political contests not only for resources but also for interpretations of events. In this article I examine the use of history as a form of "making do" through an analysis of a historical narrative of localism about the 1964 construction of a highway connecting a settlement to the national infras…
