0211303SiderThis research project focuses on changes that have occurred over the last two decades concerning the social organization of labor in agricultural communities of Greece. Since the early 1980's Greek agriculture has become increasingly dependent on immigrant labor. At the same time women, who were traditionally an important source of labor in the subsistence economies of Greek villages, have been increasingly incorporated into the formal economy. Both these developments reflect the growing integration of Greece into transnational and global networks of exchange, particularly since its entry into the European Union, and have often been represented as the modernization and democratization of the Greek countryside. However, these developments also represent a fundamental transformation in the reproduction of social inequality from an older discursive framework centered on gender and kinship to a newer discourse centered on ethnicity and citizenship. This research project will examine shifting discourses of inequality in a rural Greek community as it has changed from a dependence on gendered, kin-organized labor to immigrant labor. Using methods of participant-observation and discourse analysis, the student will map out the relationship between the construction of gender and national ideologies and the mobilization of agricultural labor. The student will collect data both on how people think about inequality and on how social stratification is organized in order to uncover the processes by which social inequality is being reproduced at the local level. The project will advance our understanding of contemporary processes of globalization and their implications for local social organization. It will also advance our understanding of the roles of gender and ethnicity in Mediterranean social organization.

0211303Sider该研究项目重点关注过去二十年来希腊农业社区劳动力社会组织发生的变化。自 1980 年代初以来，希腊农业越来越依赖移民劳动力。与此同时，妇女传统上是希腊村庄自给经济中重要的劳动力来源，现在越来越多地融入正规经济。这两项发展都反映了希腊日益融入跨国和全球交换网络，特别是自加入欧盟以来，并且通常表现为希腊乡村的现代化和民主化。然而，这些发展也代表了社会不平等再现的根本转变，从以性别和亲属关系为中心的旧话语框架向以种族和公民身份为中心的新话语框架转变。该研究项目将研究希腊农村社区不平等话语的转变，因为它已经从依赖性别、亲属组织的劳动力转向了移民劳动力。利用参与观察和话语分析的方法，学生将勾勒出性别和国家意识形态的构建与农业劳动力动员之间的关系。学生将收集有关人们如何看待不平等以及社会分层如何组织的数据，以揭示社会不平等在地方层面再现的过程。该项目将增进我们对当代全球化进程及其对当地社会组织影响的理解。它还将增进我们对地中海社会组织中性别和种族角色的理解。
