| Abstract: | Using survey data, observations and interviews, this study explores the division of labour btw. men and women in stock brokerage firms at the Stockholm Stock Exchange, Sweden. Starting off with a simplistic view of internalized sex roles and normative order within the world of finance, the analysis gradually shifts towards a focus on reflexive actors and local interaction. It is proposed that the specific gender regime be best interpreted as produced by situated face-to-face encounters btw. foremost male (here as: m- ) analysts and m-brokers etc. The encounters btw. m-brokers and m-analysts bring forth a rather sexist and female-discriminating discourse and at least two different versions of masculinity. |
