Based on 222 qualitative interviews conducted through a large ethnographic research project on transformed industrial landscapes in six countries, the main argument of the article is threefold. First, landscapes and narratives about past and present landscapes are relevant to the identity of class; second, the transformation of industrial landscapes is most emphatically expressed by nostalgia; third, the narratives are a transnationally constitutive element of class identity. The narratives of workers about the transformation and destruction of former workplaces express an identity crisis as seen in feelings of mourning and indifference. However, this does not indicate an erosion in the relevance of identity. Considering class as also having an emotional dimension, the article demonstrates that a class identity also evolves out of loss and longing. As nostalgia for a past now gone is a common narrative identity element in the research areas, it is considered as constitutive of a transnational class identity.

转变的景观和阶级的跨国身份：欧洲（后）工业景观的叙事

基于对 6 个国家转型工业景观的大型民族志研究项目进行的 222 项定性访谈，本文的主要论点有三点。首先，风景和关于过去和现在风景的叙述与阶级身份有关；第二，工业景观的转变，最突出的表现是乡愁；第三，叙事是阶级认同的跨国构成要素。工人关于前工作场所转型和破坏的叙述表达了一种身份危机，表现为哀悼和冷漠的感觉。然而，这并不表明身份的相关性受到侵蚀。考虑到阶级也有情感维度，文章表明阶级认同也是从失落和渴望中演变而来的。
