ABSTRACT This article examines the relationship between long-running deindustrialisation and skilled male employment culture in the West of Scotland. The age of deindustrialisation is a valuable designation: the contraction of industrial production and employment in the United Kingdom was gradual rather than sudden, managed carefully in the 1960s and 1970s and then recklessly in the 1980s. In Scotland there was an important transition in the 1960s from established to younger industrial sectors. In the sphere of employment culture this tested the Clydesider skilled male identity, which was constructed and reproduced in workplaces and industrial communities. The resilience of this identity is tracked through oral history examination of workers employed at the Fairfields shipyard in Govan, Glasgow, and the Linwood car plant, ten miles west in Renfrewshire. The Clydesider identity was derived from shipyard employment culture. It privileged earnings, workplace voice and relative autonomy from managerial supervision. Workers at Linwood used the Clydesider identity to advance their influence on the shop floor, contesting the frustrations of assembly goods manufacturing and asserting skill and autonomy. The article shows how manual workers on the Clyde adjusted to and made sense of deindustrialisation in the 1960s and 1970s in moral economy terms. The protracted and incomplete ‘half-life’ of deindustrialisation contained positive as well as negative effects.

作为去工业化时代的“克莱德赛德”:自 1960 年代以来苏格兰西部的熟练男性身份和经济重组

摘要 本文考察了苏格兰西部长期的去工业化与熟练男性就业文化之间的关系。去工业化时代是一个有价值的名称:英国工业生产和就业的收缩是渐进的,而不是突然的,在 1960 年代和 1970 年代进行了谨慎管理,然后在 1980 年代进行了鲁莽的管理。在苏格兰,1960 年代发生了从成熟工业部门向年轻工业部门的重要转变。在就业文化领域,这测试了在工作场所和工业社区中构建和复制的 Clydesider 熟练男性身份。通过对在格拉斯哥戈文费尔菲尔德造船厂和林伍德汽车厂工作的工人进行口述历史检查来追踪这种身份的弹性,在伦弗鲁郡以西十英里。Clydesider 的身份源自造船厂的就业文化。它赋予收入、工作场所发言权和相对于管理监督的自主权。Linwood 的工人利用 Clydesider 的身份来提升他们对车间的影响力,对抗装配产品制造的挫折并维护技能和自主权。这篇文章展示了克莱德河上的体力劳动者如何在 1960 年代和 1970 年代从道德经济角度适应去工业化并理解去工业化。去工业化的漫长和不完整的“半衰期”既有积极的影响,也有消极的影响。Linwood 的工人利用 Clydesider 的身份来提高他们对车间的影响力,对抗装配产品制造的挫折并维护技能和自主权。这篇文章展示了克莱德河上的体力劳动者如何在 1960 年代和 1970 年代从道德经济角度适应去工业化并理解去工业化。去工业化的漫长和不完整的“半衰期”既有积极的影响,也有消极的影响。Linwood 的工人利用 Clydesider 的身份来提升他们对车间的影响力,对抗装配产品制造的挫折并维护技能和自主权。这篇文章展示了克莱德河上的体力劳动者如何在 1960 年代和 1970 年代从道德经济角度适应去工业化并理解去工业化。去工业化的漫长和不完整的“半衰期”既有积极的影响,也有消极的影响。
