Sosiaa lisen median vaikuttamisen kentässä korona-ajan yhteiskunnallisen toimintakentän äkillisten muutosten on nähty heijastuneen esimerkiksi postfeministiseen kodin kuvaukseen, ja antaneen samalla tilaa myös traditionaalisten sosiaalisten kategorioiden, kuten sukupuolittuneiden kodintöiden, korostamiseen (Leap, Stalp ja Kelly 2022;Palomeque Recio 2020).…”

Monet totutut arjen käytännöt ja harrastukset joutuivat pakotetulle tauolle maaliskuussa 2020 maailmanlaajuisten pandemiarajoitusten myötä. Poikkeusolosuhteet pysäyttivät, mutta antoivat toisaalta tilaa monille perheen ja kodin piirissä toteutetuille harrastuksille ja aktiviteeteille, kuten käsitöille. Artikkelissa tarkastellaan käsitöiden näyttäytymistä Instagramissa pandemian aikana. Tutkimuksen aineistona ovat Instagramissa julkaistut koronakäsityöaiheiset julkaisut keväästä 2020 vuoden 2021 loppuun sekä yhdeksän kuvia julkaisseen harrastajan haastattelut. Analyysin tuloksena todetaan käsityön näyttäytyneen reaktiivisena, ilmaisullisena ja kokemuksellisena ajanvietteenä, jonka kautta merkityksellistettiin koettua korona-arkea. Käsityötä tehtiin koronan aikana kotien materiaalien innoittamana ja rajoittamana, kuten viimeistelemällä kesken jääneitä käsitöitä ja käyttämällä loppuun kotoa löytyneitä materiaalivarastoja. Myös ”neuloosi” korostui korona-ajan käsityöjulkaisuissa. Koronakäsityöjulkaisujen digitaalinen materiaalisuus korosti käsitöiden tuotteisuutta ja mahdollisti myös käsitöiden etenevän, päiväkirjamaisen dokumentoinnin sekä prosessin jakamisen.

“…This imbalance is further exacerbated by marriage, as women assume more housework and men tend to assume a smaller share, after they marry and have children (Coltrane, 2000). Situations of social and economic upheaval can dramatically deepen the persistent inequalities, such as lockdowns during the COVID-19 pandemic, which forced many women to leave their jobs to take care of the home (Power, 2020;Leap, Stalp and Kelly, 2023;Yavorsky, Qian & Sargent, 2021). Breen & Cooke (2005) suggest not only economic autonomy but greater material equality for women at the population level, to bring about more equality in GDHL.…”

Perpetuation of Gender Inequalities in Households: From Culture to Cognition

Though labor-force participation of women has considerably increased in most industrialized societies and many households are now dual-earner, the gender imbalance in household division of labor persists. Moreover, the consensus amongst men and women is that such distributions are fair, resulting in normalization and perpetuation of inequality. We provide a multifactorial explanation for understanding the economic, cultural and cognitive processes underlying such inequalities within households. The economic approach suggests that gendered division of labor is a problem of coordination, and payoffs available to individuals outside their households provides asymmetric bargaining power to men and women, shaping housework conventions. In most industrialized societies, various measures of economic payoffs such as financial assets, employment potential, can then provide power to gender groups. The sociological approach bridges this macro-level view of households with the micro-level view of an individual’s perceptions of labor divisions. Utilizing various aspects of culture, this section shows that when labor divisions become stabilized on a large scale, they become part of cultural narratives and norms – such as what individuals think fairness in the household is, what gender roles they abide by, etc – which become internalized. The psychological approach explores cognitive mechanisms underpinning self-perception and assessments of fairness within one’s household. This multi factorial approach allows us to address the individual dynamics of self-concept within the broader social and economic contexts that households exist within. Ultimately, we aim to demonstrate the utility of such multidisciplinary work for informing gender policy at various levels and making holistic strides toward the improvement of women's health and wellbeing.

“…Decades of cuts to healthcare infrastructure left governments unable to respond effectively (Maani and Galea 2020), and the U.S. federal stockpile of PPE had not been replenished following the 2009 swine flu epidemic (Kavanagh et al 2020). Massive shutdowns and supply chain disruptions meant the U.S. federal government’s neoliberal strategy of passing off responsibility for society’s needs to the private market also failed (Leap, Kelly, and Stalp 2022a; Leap, Stalp, and Kelly 2022b). Americans were left to their own devices amid conflicting information from state and federal agencies.…”

“…Makers around the world created homemade masks, ear guards, face shields, and hand sanitizer. They distributed this PPE to friends, family, hospitals, and their local communities (Leap, Kelly, and Stalp 2022a; Leap, Stalp, and Kelly 2022b; Hahn and Bhaduri 2021; Hong 2021; Martindale, Armstead, and McKinney 2021; Schnittka 2021; Stalp, Leap, and Kelly 2023). Maker efforts proliferated via social media networks, matching PPE supply and demand (Leap, Kelly, and Stalp 2022a; Leap, Stalp, and Kelly 2022b; Martindale, Armstead, and McKinney 2021).…”

In the opening months of the COVID-19 pandemic in the U.S., thousands of volunteer makers stepped up to produce PPE through third sphere labor, volunteer work that emphasizes community maintenance. Drawing on 78 semi-structured interviews and 662 open-ended questionnaires, we consider how third sphere carework could destabilize hierarchies between public, private, and third sphere labor and in the valuation of feminized versus masculinized work. We find women and men makers differed in what they made, but not in their motivations for producing PPE or how they valued the work of other makers. Makers rejected the idea that they should perform such work without any appreciation from third sphere recipients, but private sphere demands limited women makers more than men. Throughout men makers’ efforts, we find ample evidence of caring masculinities as a response to disaster. We conclude with a consideration of what these trends mean for redoing gender and third sphere carework.
