Thinking Like a Feminist
What does feminist theory have to offer sociology? Defining feminist theory as work that problematizes the gender binary and the relations of domination that constitute and emerge from it, we explore four key aspects of feminist scholarship. We begin with work that explores gender as a structuring trope. We then turn to how gender is coconstituted with other structures of power and domination. Next, we survey how feminists have theorized the rela…
Seeing with the Pandemic
492 Feminist Studies 47, no. 3. (c) 2021 by Feminist Studies, Inc. Leslie Salzinger Seeing with the Pandemic: Social Reproduction in the Spotlight The COVID-19 pandemic has inverted capitalism’s normal visibilities, bringing what were negative spaces to the fore and throwing the work of social reproduction into stark relief. Decades of neoliberal governance have scrapped state support for care and increased the pressures on families where every a…

Re-Marking Men
Neoliberalism is produced on and through the terrain of gendered meanings. Gender naturalizes capitalist relations and addresses and constitutes subjects across economic arenas. As the unmarked side of the pair, masculinity is too often overlooked in these processes, thus obscuring both the masculine character of elite performances and the growing relegation of non-elite men to the margins of the economy. Ethnographic immersion in two pivotal sit…
Afterword
For Love and Money
Revealing the unmarked
Scholars frequently recount the ups and downs, the purportedly embarrassing - although always heroically turned to account - mishaps of research. However, acknowledging that one has rethought an analysis in the absence of new data makes explicit that social science is an interpretive project, and as such is rarely discussed in print. In this article I break that taboo, analyzing how I began to doubt my claim that a global shop floor was organized…
From Gender as Object to Gender as Verb
Global restructuring is a gendered process. In transnational production, the creation and allocation of labor power is organized around and in terms of tropes of gendered personhood, and this has consequences for the way production works in general, above and beyond its implications for workers themselves. The paper explores this process through narrating the evolution of a local labor market in Mexico's export-processing (maquila) industry. In s…
Genders in Production
In this engrossing and original book, Leslie Salzinger takes us with her into the gendered world of Mexico's global factories. Her careful ethnographic work, personal voice, and sophisticated analysis capture the feel of life inside the maquiladoras and make a compelling case that transnational production is a gendered process. The research grounds contemporary feminist theory in an examination of daily practices and provides an important new per…

Making Fantasies Real Producing Women and Men on the Maquila Shop Floor
Productive femininity is a paradigm through which managers view, and therefore structure, assembly work, and through which they imagine, describe and define workers
Manufacturing the Ungendered Subject
Manufacturing Sexual Subjects
Standing for all instances of problematic workplace sexuality, the notion of `sexual harassment' illuminates but also obscures the role of desire in work relations. It spotlights isolated individual interactions at the expense of structural processes and stresses choice and blame rather than the way in which a given workplace evokes particular sexual subjectivities in the service of production. An ethnography of shopfloor relations in a Mexican e…
