The Changing World of Andy Gibson: Restructuring Forestry on Newfoundland’s Great Northern Peninsula
Peter R. Sinclair, Martha MacDonald, and Barbara Neis examine the interaction of external pressures on the local scale in the forestry industry. Documenting the experience of one unionized logger, Andy Gibson, they consider how systemic pressures affect the lives of individuals and how these individuals respond and reshape their changing circumstances. While the introduction of new technology and changes in the labour process have affected worker…
Future Forests: Forecasting Social and Ecological Consequences of Genetic Engineering
Genetic engineering could result in a dramatic transformation of the forest products industry, increasing corporate economic power and concentrating timber production in those regions most suited to industrial-scale tree plantations. We briefly review arguments in favor of and in opposition to genetic engineering in forestry, and describe the constellation of forces promoting this technology. We then examine possible social consequences with spec…
Moving Back and Moving In: Migration and the Structuring of Bonavista
Shelves and Bins: Varieties of Qualitative Sociology in Rural Studies
It did not take us long to discover that the 'field' of qualitative research is far from a unified set of principles promulgated by networked groups of scholars. In fact, we have discovered that the field of qualitative research is defined primarily by a series of essential tensions, contradictions, and hesitations. These tensions work back and forth among competing definitions and conceptions of the field.Further, these tensions exist in a less-…
Perceptions of a fishery in crisis: Dragger skippers on the Gulf of St. Lawrence cod moratorium
Relying on a sample of 61 skippers and extensive field research, this article examines attitudes toward a fisheries crisis that threatens the economic viability of many fishing enterprises. The article highlights the lack of common perceptions, which can be related in some degree to the different material interests of small‐ and large‐vessel operators. Large‐vessel operators want fewer competitors for the fish in the future, but differences in pe…

Separate worlds: Gender and domestic labour in an isolated fishing region
Dans cette communication, les auteurs présentent les données de leur étude des rapports entre le sexe et la division du travail chez les hommes et les femmes mariés de la péninsule Great Northern, une région isolée de Terre‐Neuve où l'on vit de la pêche à la périphérie du capitalisme avancé. L'étude visait à déterminer dans quelle mesure la reproduction des ménages est structurée en fonction du sexe en analysant de manière détaillée les travaux d…
Everyone Does it: Unpaid Work in a Rural Peripheral Region
In this paper we document the extensive informal sector of unpaid productive labour in an isolated, peripheral area in Canada. The study is based on interviews with all adults in 250 households. We consider various socio-economic characteristics as determinants of participation in the informal economy with respect to home construction, other types of subsistence activity and the unpaid work that is done for other households. Our central hypothesi…

Towards a Class Analysis of Contemporary Socialist Agriculture: Bulgaria in the Seventies
Since the 1960s, East European agriculture has been undergoing a second revolutionary experience as attempts are being made to 'industrialize' production and to build new complex organizational structures consistent with social and economic goals. Theories of class relations in this contemporary agriculture usually recognize the intelligentsia stratum and the classes of state agricultural workers and co-operative farmers or peasants. Here 1 attem…
Political powerlessness and sociodemographic status in Canada
Fondé sur une analyse secondaire de l'enquête sur l'election nationale (1974), cet article démontre l'association limitée entre l'expérience de l'impuissance et la position socio‐démographique. Il offre une explication qui ne désavoue pas l'importance de la situation sociale, mais qui souligne comment le système social fonctionne de façon à produire des aliénations différentes en conformité avec l'expérience sociale de l'individu. Enfin, il discu…

Bureaucratic Agriculture: Planned Social Change in the GDR
This article presents a critical review of recent organizational change in the GDR's rural society, including the formation of specialized production co-operatives and a more intensive vertical integration in the agro-industrial complex. This more centralised, bureaucratic structure is explained in relation to the historical development of the mode of production, particular immediate problems and the ideological orientation of the leadership. In …
Fascism and Crisis in Capitalist Society
A central problem for students of capitalist society is to analyse the social consequences of crisis. What happens when the ruling class is weakened or experiences some threat to its hegemony? One development, but by no means an inevitable one, is the emergence of fascist politics within the context of an ongoing capitalism. Fascists are typically newcomers to power and rarely have their origins in the old ruling strata. Relations with old politi…
