ABSTRACT Scotland offers a valuable case study of the ways in which a combination of transnational and national structural changes can open up national articulations of ‘hegemonic masculinity’ to subaltern contestation. During the late twentieth century, the subjection of an imagined industrial community to both global capital flows and state planning priorities produced opportunities for the re-articulation of hegemonic masculinity as a means of securing subaltern agency within a counter-movement against neoliberalism. The defiant but respectable left-wing ‘hard man’ – a signifier of collective morality and populist counter-legitimacy against state and market – was mobilized by leaders espousing an often explicitly gendered vision of respectable militancy. This article identifies three such leaders: Jimmy Reid, Jim Sillars and Tommy Sheridan. Each leader advocated resistance to market forces and the state by personally embodying a traditional masculine authority rooted in the cultural imaginary of industrial working-class communities. This article examines the parameters of Scottish left-wing populism before analysing its decline in the late twentieth century. Under devolution this populism has been displaced by a more inclusive ‘civic’ nationalism less comfortable with gendered and militant rhetoric, as the social basis of masculine left populism has been eroded.

资本主义的指责者:二十世纪后期苏格兰激进左翼的男子气概和民粹主义

摘要 苏格兰提供了一个有价值的案例研究,说明跨国和国家结构变化的结合可以为底层竞争打开“霸权男子气概”的国家表达方式。在 20 世纪后期,想象中的工业社区受制于全球资本流动和国家规划优先事项,这为重新表达霸权男子气概创造了机会,作为在反对新自由主义的反运动中确保底层机构的一种手段。挑衅但受人尊敬的左翼“硬汉”——集体道德和反对国家和市场的民粹主义反合法性的象征——被领导人动员起来,他们支持一种经常明确的性别化的可敬好斗的愿景。本文确定了三位这样的领导者:Jimmy Reid、Jim Sillars 和 Tommy Sheridan。每位领导人都通过亲自体现植根于工业工人阶级社区的文化想象中的传统男性权威来倡导抵制市场力量和国家。本文在分析苏格兰左翼民粹主义在 20 世纪后期的衰落之前,先考察了它的参数。在权力下放下,这种民粹主义已被更具包容性的“公民”民族主义所取代,因为男性左翼民粹主义的社会基础已被侵蚀,因此对性别和好战的言论不太适应。
