>Teela Sanders, School of Sociology and Social Policy, University of
>Leeds, UK

>The objective of this stream is to debate the gender complexities in
>work activities, identities and environments that are not considered
>part of mainstream work, but are in some way alternative, marginalised
>or operating outside conventional boundaries of 'work'.
>
>The stream focuses on the complexities of gender relations and the
>organization of gender in those jobs that are not mainstreamed,
>debating the complexities of work spaces and identities that are
>complicated in themselves because of their particular position in
>relation to the social structure, sitting outside the norms of
>conventional work and potentially outside the law. Alternative modes
>of working, whether in legal, illegal or 'grey' economies, force
>reflection on notions of `the product', worker, management or venue as
>contesting the boundaries of acceptability. This encompasses work that
>represents the spectrum of physical, emotional, sexual and
>intellectual labour; industries that employ migrant, immigrant or
>underage workers; jobs that cut across the divides of the public and
>private spheres including 'the domestic' and 'the intimate' as a site
>of work. The contested nature of alternative modes of work can be
>examined through work that is considered part of the 'disorder' of
>society and provokes an `official' reaction of control, prohibition or
>regulation. Temporary or seasonal economies that are built around
>occasional cultural and sporting events, music and carnival as well
>political conventions and tourism fall within the remit of the
>alternative modes of working.
>
>We anticipate reflections on the impact of globalisation on the
>opportunities for, and modes of, alternative work, as well as research
>within areas that represent new cultural forms that are work, and yet
>are given little credibility as work. Economies where alternative
>modes of work are located often rest at the periphery of mainstream
>industries, but are significant to the consumption patterns of late
>modernity. Of particular interest are informal economies that stretch
>between the public and private, alongside illegal economies and 'grey'
>economies where some parts, but not all, of the activities are either
>illegal or 'deviant'. We aim to attract research and commentary on
>alternative modes of work in a range of economies and industries that
>are in many cases, confrontational to traditional understandings of
>work.
>
>Theoretically informed empirical papers, theoretical debate, and
>'ideas in progress' are invited that comment on work tasks, identities
>and environments where there is evidence of the work existing outside
>the mainstream labour market. The focus on the complexity of gender
>relations could include one or more of the following dynamics:
>
>Alternative work patterns and places
>Working in the Sex Industry
>Domestic & Caring Work
>Globalisation and alternative modes of work
>Researching Alternative Work
>Gender, Work and Emotional Labour
>Gendered Relationships with Customers
>'men only' or 'women only' work environments
>Gender relations and money
>Gendered regulating of work
>Cultural context of alternative forms of work
>

>words (excluding any references) giving title of paper, keywords,
>contact details including your name, institutional affiliation,
>mailing address, telephone number and e-mail address. Submission date
>for abstracts is 1st November 2006. All abstracts will be peer
>reviewed. Please note that due to restrictions of space, multiple
>submissions by the same author will not be timetabled. New and young
