In 'Nightwork', Anne Allison opens a window onto Japanese corporate culture and gender identities. Allison performed the ritualized tasks of a hostess in one of Tokyo's many "hostess clubs": pouring drinks, lighting cigarettes, and making flattering or titillating conversation with the businessmen who came there on company expense accounts. Her book critically examines how such establishments create bonds among white-collar men and forge a masculine identity that suits the needs of their corporations. Allison describes in detail a typical company outing to such a club--what the men do, how they interact with the hostesses, the role the hostess is expected to play, and the extent to which all of this involves "play" rather than "work." Unlike previous books on Japanese nightlife, Allison's ethnography of one specific hostess club (here referred to as Bijo) views the general phenomenon from the eyes of a woman, hostess, and feminist anthropologist. Observing that clubs like Bijo further a kind of masculinity dependent on the gestures and labors of women, Allison seeks to uncover connections between such behavior and other social, economic, sexual, and gendered relations. She argues that Japanese corporate nightlife enables and institutionalizes a particular form of ritualized male dominance: in paying for this entertainment, Japanese corporations not only give their male workers a self-image as phallic man, but also develop relationships to work that are unconditional and unbreakable. This is a book that will appeal to anyone interested in gender roles or in contemporary Japanese society.

Dans la nouvelle économie d’aujourd’hui, dans laquelle les « bons » emplois sont généralement basés sur le savoir ou la technologie, de nombreux jeunes hommes bien éduqués et culturellement avertis choisissent plutôt de poursuivre des professions manuelles traditionnellement de statut inférieur comme carrières. Masters of Craft se penche sur la renaissance de quatre de ces métiers : barman, distillation, barbier et boucherie. Dans ce livre approfondi et engageant, Richard Ocejo vous emmène dans la vie et les lieux de travail de ces personnes pour examiner comment elles transforment ces emplois autrefois indésirables en niches professionnelles haut de gamme « cool » et hautement spécialisées – et compliquent ainsi nos notions sur la mobilité ascendante et descendante par le travail. Il montre comment ils trouvent un sens à ces emplois en mettant en œuvre un ensemble de « répertoires culturels », qui comprennent des compétences techniques basées sur un sens renouvelé de l’artisanat et de l’artisanat et une capacité à comprendre et à communiquer ces connaissances aux autres, résultant en une nouvelle forme de goût d’élite. Ocejo décrit les chemins que les gens empruntent pour accéder à ces emplois, comment ils apprennent les métiers qu’ils ont choisis, comment ils imprègnent leurs pratiques de travail de savoir-faire et comment ils enseignent le goût à leurs consommateurs. Se concentrant sur les barmans de cocktails, les distillateurs artisanaux, les barbiers haut de gamme pour hommes et les travailleurs des boucheries d’animaux entiers à Manhattan, Brooklyn et dans le nord de l’État de New York, Masters of Craft fournit de nouvelles perspectives sur la stratification du goût, la gentrification et l’évolution du marché du travail dans la ville postindustrielle d’aujourd’hui.
