- Synopsis
- Thisinsightful new study explores an emerging and growing interest in Sociology andOrganization Studies which concerns the meanings and experiences of 'dirty'work. Based on a unique study of male streetcleaners, refuse collectors, graffiti removers and butchers, and drawing onBourdieu as a theoretical frame, it presents an 'embodied' understanding of'dirty' work. Gender, Work and Occupationexplores new avenues of workplace studies, highlighting how materialconditions both support and constrain processes of occupation-based ideologicalconstructions. Using original field research, the authors put forward adifferent agenda in terms of how we think about dirty work, and how we canexplore and understand the 'lived experiences' of dirty workers.
