This ethnographic study positions itself politically by prioritizing the voice of experience and highlighting the importance of 'other' knowledges. It is argued that understanding the subjectivity of skin trade workers in relation to the labour they perform requires joining symbolic interactionist insights about process and stigma to sociological analyses of class, labour and resistance. In addition, the skin trade work and workers are located within dynamic social and economic structures as well as gender relations and discourses. The use of multiple research methods facilitates a comprehensive analysis that attends to the particular as it shifts between structure, discourse and individual accounts of experience.

520 $a This ethnographic study positions itself politically by prioritizing the voice of experience and highlighting the importance of 'other' knowledges. It is argued that understanding the subjectivity of skin trade workers in relation to the labour they perform requires joining symbolic interactionist insights about process and stigma to sociological analyses of class, labour and resistance. In addition, the skin trade work and workers are located within dynamic social and economic structures as well as gender relations and discourses. The use of multiple research methods facilitates a comprehensive analysis that attends to the particular as it shifts between structure, discourse and individual accounts of experience.
520 $a The research reveals strip clubs to be a dynamic industry. The labour is shaped by a complex interplay of structural and interactional processes. Moral regulation, market economy, stigmatic designations and the widespread commodification of the postindustrial age have had profound implications for the way the labour is organized, strategies of exploitation and specific labour activity. At the same time, these conditions are not static and, in spite of the apparent relations of authority, the labour site is highly contested terrain. Industry workers employ a range of collective, individual and discursive strategies of resistance as they challenge the relations of authority and assert themselves. Though not without negative consequences, these tactics of everyday politics are effective and appropriate techniques for women positioned in marginal labour spheres. While the labour of strippers in the 1990s constitutes emotionally, as well as physically, challenging labour that necessitates the acquisition of complex skills and competencies at work and negotiations around stigma outside of work, this employment also affords women a level of autonomy, flexibility and economic compensation rarely available to working class women in the labour market.
