Since the publication of Barry Bluestone and Bennett Harrison’s The Deindustrialization of America in 1982, much research has explored important economic and social-historical aspects concerning the waning number of industrial jobs in the U.S. and the impact of factory closings on many cities in the so-called Rust Belt. This paper explores a cultural side of that story, especially taking its cue from Sherry Lee Linkon’s The Half-Life of Deindustrialization (2018). The paper explores how Gung Ho’s comedic depiction of deindustrialization all but elides important class tensions, how Roger & Me, among other things, intervenes in discussions regarding priorities in leftist discourse in the U.S. and how 8 Mile explores a tension between industrial and creative work in the 1990s in Detroit. It closes by pointing to the relevance of further research into the cultural aspects of deindustrialization. \u0000 \u0000 \u0000","PeriodicalId":360035,"journal":{"name":"Passage - Tidsskrift for litteratur og kritik","volume":"101 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121799289","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The poetry that he published in the labor-movement press aimed at creating class consciousness among workers and presented work both as something marked by oppression and injustice and as a source of pride. In his poetry collections, he presented industrial labor to an audience of non-workers with the aim of making them aware of the plight of the working class.
