As Shelley Pacholok observes in this innovative study, the turbulence and extreme conditions that followed in the wake of this disaster destabilized an important  area of social life – that of gender relations.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eInto the Fire\u003c\/em\u003e combines insights from gender studies and disaster studies to explore the extent to which notions of “masculinity” and “femininity” are challenged in the wake of crises. Pacholok focuses on how gender relations were simultaneously sustained and disrupted   among those who fought the fire,  drawing on media representations as well as interviews with firefighters . \u003cem\u003eInto the Fire\u003c\/em\u003e illuminates how disasters can serve as catalysts for new patterns of gender, even in highly masculine spaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eContents\u003cbr\u003e  Illustrations\u003cbr\u003e  Tables\u003cbr\u003e  Preface\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 1\u003cbr\u003e  INTRODUCTION\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 2\u003cbr\u003e  GENDER, DISASTER, AND THE MOUNTAIN PARK FIRE: A METHODOLOGICAL AND THEORETICAL ROAD MAP\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 3\u003cbr\u003e  ‘FIREFIGHTING IS A MAN’S GAME’: ORGANIZATIONAL CULTURES AND PRACTICES\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 4\u003cbr\u003e  ‘WE FELT LIKE WE LOST’: EXPLAINING FAILURE AND RESCUING MASCULINITY\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 5\u003cbr\u003e  NAVIGATING HIERARCHY AND CONTESTING MASCULINITIES\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 6\u003cbr\u003e  WORKING WITH THE OTHER: RESISTANCE, ACCOMMODATION, AND REPRODUCTION\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 7\u003cbr\u003e  CONCLUSION\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAppendix\u003cbr\u003e  DILEMMAS, TENSIONS, AND CONTRADICTIONS IN FEMINIST INSPIRED RESEARCH\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"University of Toronto Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52744621130008,"sku":"9781442614703","price":20.86,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/into-the-fire-disaster-and-the-remaking-of-gender-paperback-softback-9781442614703","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
