“…( As indicated in the participants' narratives considered here, and as reflected in the broader findings of the research, significant differences in identity positionings and experiences at work relate to distinct 'places' of work. First, greater self-regulation around gender performance was articulated by participants in manual work; indicating the restrictions imposed by cultures of 'hyper masculinity' (Bondi 1993;McDowell 1997). Second, the extent to which gender performance was self-regulated varied in terms of the levels of public interaction required at work (more public interaction in the service sector, for example, led to greater self-policing).…”

While traditional perspectives on transgender from some strands of feminism and within medical/psychoanalytical discourse have argued that transgender people conform to and reproduce gender stereotypes, queer theory has celebrated transgender as a site that highlights the social and cultural construction of 'sex' and 'gender' and, moreover, as a symbol of transgressive gender possibility. Both of these readings ignore the complexities of lived trans experiences and identifications. By evaluating a queer reading of trans through recent empirical research into transgender identities, I suggest that while trans identifications certainly queer binary models of 'sex' and 'gender', such transgressions are materially, culturally, socially and spatially contingent. The article draws on empirical research to explore the ways in which access to queer subjectivities is constrained by, and negotiated alongside, the locales of the workplace and community spaces.

“…While a subcultural perspective focuses primarily on group dynamics and norm formation, it implicitly addresses the importance of the context in which such norms develop. Recently, a resurgence of community-based research recognizes that local areas -marked by spatial, social, and symbolic boundaries -represent a critical "social container" (Bondi, 1993;Rose, 1993) that exerts influence on youths in arenas that are not necessarily deviant. For example, aggregate community effects, which capture both an opportunity structure and cultural milieu, are found to influence educational aspirations (Williams, 2002), career choices (Villemez and Beggs, 1994), and choices about pregnancy and family planning (Brooks-Gunn, Duncan, Kiebanov, and Sealand, 1993).…”

Research on attitudes of college students toward police provides an opportunity to explore the relationship among age, subgroup/cultural adaptation, and anti-authority orientation. Using data that allow comparisons between college students and the general community population, this study finds that being in college, not age, diminishes students' trust in police, and that students are two times more likely than general citizens to report feeling unsafe. Students' decreased confidence in police, as compared to general citizens, holds for those with and without police contact. However, positive evaluation of contact significantly mediates perceptions of police for whites but not for Blacks. The study demonstrates that even within small, relatively homogeneous communities subgroup identity may inspire or discourage trust and, in turn, diminish feelings of safety. Further, patterns of trust and safety differ for women and men; women report higher confidence in police, but lower feelings of safety, a pattern opposite that for men. The college town provides an instructive case for examining a context in which newcomers and town citizens interact, sometimes with conflicting orientations.Downloaded by [University of Sussex Library] at 16:

“…Nomads are constantly on the move and never stay in one place for very long. These journeys inevitably lead to constant cultural, political, and social transgressions and boundary crossing (Bondi 1993). With all of us increasingly becoming nomads, cyborgs, and "humanchines," the technological sublime marks not only the end of nature (Luke 1997), the end of science (Hogan 1996), and the end of history (Fukuyama 1992), but also the birth of a new world in which all that is solid melts into air (Berman 1982).…”
