> THE MEANINGS OF DEINDUSTRIALIZATION:
> Multiple Perspectives on Changing Industrial Landscapes
>
> Original essays are sought for an edited volume that will help to redefine
> the process, spatial relations, chronology, memory, and politics of what
> is
> commonly known as "deindustrialization." Emphasizing a
> cultural-historical
> approach to the problem, we want to analyze the complexity and multiple
> meanings of one of the major transformations of the twentieth century.
>
> In seeking to bring historical depth to this chronologically and
> geographically uneven process, we are looking for the following types of
> contributions:
>
> 1. Case studies of U.S. cities and towns that have undergone serious
> capital disinvestment and industrial decline. We are particularly
> interested in work that challenges conventional wisdom about the timing,
> causes, consequences, and diversity of impacts of deindustrialization.
>
> 2. Case studies of communities experiencing reindustrialization or
> reinvestment. Through what means, on what terms, and with what
> consequences
> has this happened? How are communities and workers portrayed in this
> process?
>
> 3. Studies that explore the ripple effects of deindustrialization in
> popular culture: song, film, television programming, popular memory,
> commemoration, and public space. When capital is relocated, what is the
> impact on notions of such issues as citizenship, patriotism, and work
> ideology?
>
> 4. Studies of how this process has played out in local, regional,
> national, and global politics. What are the alternative futures lost in
> the past? How are issues such as industrial policy,
> labor power, and party politics shaped by changes in the industrial world?
