Abstract

This article draws attention to Erich Fromm’s concept of social character alongside Pierre Bourdieu’s notion of habitus to broaden our understanding of the legacy of neoliberalism within the context of the massive job redundancies taking place in the steel industry in the UK. This includes secondary analysis of my own earlier research on the psychosocial ramifications of the loss of stable work, changing worker-gendered identities, disrupted affect, community engagement and historical memory within a global context of insecure labour (Walkerdine and Jimenez, 2012).
