However, the depiction of nature in the series, and the relationship of nature to sexuality is, the authors suggest multifaceted. In part, nature – the Australian outback – is presented as uncompromising and tough, and is engaged as a source for testing and determining a woman’s suitability as a potential (marriage) partner for the men. At the same nature is depicted as romantic and gentle and a source for nurturing and supporting the relationships. 30 Masculinities and Management in Agricultural Organizations Worldwide Masculinities, Age and Farmers Despite being differently situated in Ireland, the findings from a study of young farming men by Ni Laoire (2002) echo those of Bryant (1999), Liepins (1998; 2000) and Brandth and Haugen (1998: 2005a; 2005b; 2005c).
She writes: Ultimately, by abdicating personal agency within a participatory community many members enact roles that privilege certain definitions of masculinity over others – definitions that emphasize technocratic rationalities rather than interdependence. Such hegemonic constructions of masculinity emerge from and are reinforced by the mythic belief system of agrarianism. The frontier has always been a patriarchal myth in which men dominated other men, women, and nature. (Harter 2004, 109) Harter’s (2004) analysis is particularly useful as she highlights the way in which different discourses of masculinity may be present in agricultural organizations, but not enjoy equal power.
As will be demonstrated later in this chapter, some work has emerged on the more specific subject of masculinities in agricultural organizations. However, there is little known about how management may be undertaken by men in non-metropolitan organizations not connected with farming. There is, however, some very beginning work that provides insight into the relationship between management, masculinity and rurality. Representative of this work is a study by Charles and Davies (2000). What is of principal concern to these authors is ‘the significance of place’ and the fact that this has been largely ignored in studies examining women’s under-representation in management (Charles and Davies 2000, 545).
