"This is a new way to make my voice heard": the gender dimensions of collective and private action in Athens during the crisis
Abstract
This article documents the way the residents of Athens mobilized and expressed their social reaction in light of the economic crisis, with the aspect of gender as the focal point of analysis. By using empirical data from a 2012 wider Athens area survey conducted by the National Centre of Social Research through face-to-face interviews we explore the varying forms of political attitudes and practices of urban residents in the context of the crisis. Our analysis snowed gender not to be a statistically significant indicator, since in both private and collective forms of action, women and men adopted similar practices, with the exception of formal political participation where men scored higher. In addition we explored the motives behind the actions adopted, and the meanings attributed to them by women and men.
