Статья подготовлена в рамках проекта «Прошлое и настоящее рабочих районов: трансформации социокультурной и территориальной идентичности» при финансовой поддержке РФФИ (грант № 17-33-01006-ОГН). В статье рассматриваются территориальные идентичности, сформировавшиеся вокруг советских предприятий: завода имени И. А. Лихачева (ЗИЛ) в Москве и Уральского завода тяжелого машиностроения (Уралмаш) в Екатеринбурге. На примере двух кейсов авторы отвечают на вопрос о том, как создается территориальная идентичность индустриальных районов в постсоветской России. Авторы анализируют культурные практики в двух индустриальных районах и показывают, какой вклад в изменение их территориальных идентичностей вносят культурные акторы: представители творческих профессий и культурной среды, то есть научные работники, художники, архитекторы, фотографы, преподаватели высших учебных заведений, работники музеев, культурные и городские активисты. Исследование обнаруживает увеличение социального неравенства между резидентами индустриальных районов: рабочими и представителями других социальных групп. На фоне неолиберальной политики новые социальные акторы приходят в индустриальные районы, изменяя конфигурацию их социального состава. Оба кейса-территории вокруг завода имени И. А. Лихачёва и Уралмашзавода-демонстрируют наслоение разных типов идентичности и ассоциирующихся с ними культур
The article addresses the possibility of using visual data in field research. The article is based on the visual data obtained in the frame of the author's research projects of 2017—2019, aimed at studying everyday life of industrial workers in Yekaterinburg and the transformation of industrial territories in Moscow. The article is the additional visual material to the authors methodological manual “How to Collect Data in the Field [Qualitative] Research”. The authors have shown both the analytical significance of visual materials and their didactic potential. The article demonstrates how the research practice of photographing is organically integrated into the classical stages of fieldwork — access to the field, data collection, analysis and presentation of the results. At the same time, photographs are the relevant source of data about everyday life of citizens — material culture, spatial practices, emotions, identities. The authors make an attempt to visualize the process of field research, show the process of conducting projects through the photographs and demonstrate the genre of empirical materials as a visual diary.
This book review considers “А Sense of Inequality” by Wendy Bottero. The author is a Reader in Sociology at the University of Manchester (UK).Wendy Bottero inspires us to look broadly at the phemomenon of inequality through the social mechanisms ofobligations and restrictions bounding individuals on a daily basis. At the same time, the author suggests a broader understanding of inequality and insists on “a methodological localism”, i.e. the importance of studying local inequalities, which individuals experience in their milieus (subjective inequality or a sense of inequality). She argues that people tend to be more aware of “local” inequality in their daily lives. Individuals have a restricted vision of objective inequality. According to Bottero, objective inequality does not necessarily lead to social discontent or protest. And data of mass quantitative surveys give us an abstract understanding of a sense of inequality. Individuals’ perceptions of inequality are formed by institutional regimes, political debates and discussions in the media. Therefore, the key concept of this book is “subjective inequality” — a specific feeling of individuals arising through a variety of unequal social relations, entailed subordination, unequal opportunities and statuses.This book gives us an understanding of how to be more reflective of everyday inequalities. This work will be especially of great value for social researchers because it offers acritically revised theoretical frame and solid methodological basis for studying subjective inequalities. The book reveals the mechanics of the key global social phenomenon — inequality and discovers the opportunities for studying it on the level of individuals.
