SUMMARY:The Gender of Labor in Privatizing Vietnam
LOCATION:Room 1.204
DESCRIPTION:Three decades after its shift from socialist central planning t
 o a market economy, Vietnam is vastly different from what it used to be. Ec
 onomic growth, privatization, industrialization and urbanization have usher
 ed in entirely new landscape of production, consumption and mobility. Citie
 s are rapidly expanding, so are global factories and urban service industri
 es, attracting millions of migrant workers; micro-businesses abounds; mobil
 e economic networks extend beyond national borders. Recent Vietnam scholars
 hip has documented the emergence of new configurations of labor, work and c
 are in this context. In particular, it has shown complex dynamics of class 
 and gender at the intersection between new production regimes and technique
 s of governance on the one hand, and new politics of the self on the other.
  Such politics draws on both the socialist structure of feelings, enduring 
 moral ideals and competing notions of modernity. It also invokes a new divi
 de between ‘meaningful’, socially valued and formalized labor and low-quali
 fied and precarious labor that garners little social recognition or even st
 igmatizes.\n\nThis panel explores the nexus of value, gender and class in r
 elation to the question of labor in Vietnam today with papers that discuss 
 the implications of gender for one or more of the following themes:\n\n- La
 bor and class: The articulation of class identities through labor processes
 , explorations of precarious labor, and the politics of labor that shape th
 e relations between workers and employers, between migrant workers and the 
 urban middle class, and between the state and citizens.\n- Labor, migration
  and mobility: The diverse trajectories of migration and mobility among soc
 ial groups, the emergence of new labor subjectivities, and the implications
  of mobility for the valuation of labor.\n- Labor and care: How the valuati
 on of labor is integral to relations and practices of care within and beyon
 d family and kinship (at community and societal levels, including those of 
 philanthropy and social welfare).\n- Labor and morality: Competing moral va
 luations of labor based on different value orientations that coexist in Vie
 tnam today, e.g. socialist, capitalist, communal, labor as the basis for mo
 ral and communal life, and the emergence of moral economic networks around 
 particular forms of gendered labor.
