The impact of wolves on psychological distress among farmers in Norway
Attitudes Toward Immigrants in Rural Norway. A Rural-Urban Comparison
Successful integration of immigrants is vital for rural areas facing population decline and labour shortage. Yet little is known about the role civil society plays in this process and about the factors that promote or hamper acceptance of immigrants by the local population. By using data from a national survey of the Norwegian population, this article examines rural-urban differences in attitudes toward immigrants and immigration, and what charac…
When Farm Couples Break Up
This article draws on interviews with farm women and men who have experienced a family break up to analyse their experiences of gender expectations in family farming, their fear of stigmatisation and their receipt of help from the rural community. The interviews illustrate their compliance with dominant constructions of rural gendered moralities. Men struggled to live up to the ideals of rural masculinity, which centre on hard work, self-sufficie…
Farm, family, and myself
Despite the rising divorce rate among farm families in Norway, surprisingly little research has examined these break-ups. Drawing on interviews with farm women whose marital or cohabiting relationships broke down, we explore the contradictions between individualization and the moral responsibility embedded in the patriarchal discourse of the family farm. We ask whether farm family dissolution represents a break with patriarchal ideology and pract…
Doing Farm Tourism
Drawing on the perspective of doing gender, Berit Brandth and Marit S. Haugen explore how women and men do gender in farm tourist work. On the basis of five case studies of farms that have shifted from farm production to hosting tourists, the expectation is that the new occupation of tourism may create conditions for (un)doing gender at the interactional level and reshuffling power within the couple. The segmented work and unequal work statuses o…
Farm diversification into tourism – Implications for social identity
Dreaming of a Smallholding
The article examines a phenomenon associated with the rural idyll - the dream of becoming the owner of a smallholding in the countryside. Much research and policy concern in Norway have focused upon rural-urban migration trends and the consequences of the urbanisation process on the sustainability of rural communities. Less attention has been given to the counter trend, that is, urban dwellers searching for a better quality of life in the country…
Gendered Work in Family Farm Tourism
Changes in agriculture from farming to tourism imply change from primary production to service work. Based on visits and interviews with entrepreneurs of four tourist businesses, this paper will explore consequences of this change for work. The tourist work on farms is divided into three main categories: administration, accommodation and activities. All of them consist of multiple tasks that are gendered in both traditional and new ways. Women do…

Farm and Off-farm Work and Life Satisfaction Among Norwegian Farm Women
Previous research has showed that farmers and spouses having off-farm work report higher life satisfaction than those who work only on the farm. Using both quantitative and qualitative data we test this correlation and ask whether there are other factors than just the off-farm work which might explain this. Data from a national survey, involving 935 farm women, and in-depth interviews with twenty-five farm women, are used to explore the relation …
Doing Rural Masculinity - From Logging to Outfield Tourism
This article deals with the issue of stability and change in rural masculinity by studying how masculinity changes when work changes. Logging, which used to form a basis for the construction of masculinity in peripheral areas, is in the process of being replaced by new types of work brought about by the commodification of natural and cultural resources. Hunting, fishing and adventures in the wilderness as products are grounded in the traditional …
Text, Body, and Tools
This article explores processes by which masculinities change, using examples from the Norwegian forestry industry. Forestry has traditionally been one of the most masculine rural work activities and an arena where hegemonic rural masculinity is expressed. The study is based on mediations of masculinity in a forestry magazine covering a period of twenty years. Using text, body, and tools as an analytic scheme, pictures of temporal variations of, …

The Gendering of Farming
Breaking into a Masculine Discourse. Women and Farm Forestry
This paper studies the gendering processes of farm forestry by means of discourse analysis. Forestry has traditionally been one of the most masculine rural activities. In spite of a relatively large number of women forest owners, women have only been active in this industry to a limited extent, and made little impact on the masculine culture of forestry. Looking at the main sites of discourse in the magazine of the forest owners, women are absent…
Rural Women, Feminism and the Politics of Identity
This article focuses on the Norwegian Society of Rural Women (NSRW), the only organization representing rural (farm) women in Norway. Using the magazine for the NSRW members as our main source, we ask how feminist politics and identity have been construed in a rural context. As communicated by the magazine, engagement with women's movement issues such as equal rights has been inconspicuous. Instead, strategies to enhance the value and appreciatio…
Gender Differences in Modern Agriculture
Studying women farmers who are equal to men in their formal status, this article explores the extent to which women's entry into a male occupation challenges the existing gender system. Our analysis shows that young women farmers represent a change toward a new work role for women in farming. They have become similar to men farmers in many important aspects of farming such as vocational training, technological know-how, and union membership; howe…
On the Question of the Feminization of Production on Part-time Farms
The argument that production on part-time farms has been feminized is evaluated using longitudinal and indepth interview data sets from communities throughout Norway. Time-series data suggest that traditional part-time farms are not being reproduced in Norway. Rather, there is a shift toward modern forms of part-time farming; in its most common form, women juggle off-farm, farm, and household work while men farm or combine farming with an off-far…
