Abstract: Prior to the recent global crisis a consensus was emerging that post-Fordism had ushered in a new sexual contract, one characterized not by exclusion and containment, but by the prospecting for potential, a prospecting that located women’s labor not as a reserve for capital but as a site of vitality and possibility. The global financial crisis and ongoing recession, however, have been positioned as undoing these radical transformations in women’s labor by threatening a return of the social formations character… Show more

“…(Pocock 2003, p. 77) Such '"good mothering" hegemonies', Ekinsmyth (2013b, p. 3) argues, need to be more strongly contested and politicised in contemporary Western cultures. Adding an additional encumbrance to this already burdensome picture, this level of being an available parent is now coupled with the post-Fordist expectation that all adults be engaged in paid work or, at least, be ready to do so if unemployed (see Adkins 2012). The effect is that 'labour market participation for women has become a moral duty' (Adkins and Jokinen 2008, p. 146).…”

“…These reforms include the permanent replacement of forms of social provisioning (including education and health care) with privatised forms of provisioning, and the emergence of workfare states centred on ideals of adult worker households (Cooper 2012). Such models assume that all adults should be in the labour market or, if not in employment, should be seeking employment actively; indeed, they should be in a permanent state of 'work-readiness' (Adkins 2012).…”

“…This, in turn, makes them more dependent on their working spouses and hence more vulnerable (Anita Haataja and Ulla Hämäläinen 2010). In the current cultural climate, these economic and social changes, amounting to a feminized recession (Lisa Adkins 2012), are entwined with a rise of a mixture of neoliberal ideologies, post-feminist tendencies, and conservative backlash in gender discourses that reaffirm the value of social structures and institutions that support and applaud the woman's place in the private sphere of the home and nuclear family (Dolores Hayden [1984] 2002, Alison Blunt and Robyn Dowling 2006). While neoliberal ideology rather than social structures holds individuals responsible for their choices (e.g., Ulrich Beck and Elizabeth Beck-Gernsheim 2002;Frank Furedi 2004) and upholds this freedom of individual choice as an ultimate value (Porter 2012, 20), neoconservatism reinforces the cultural ideal that the home is the natural place for women.…”
