Building tunnels, burning bridges : a feminist critical discourse analysis on the gender-infrastructure nexus in the case of planning inter-island linkages on the Faroe Islands.
This study concerns hegemonic claims of knowing and how they manifest as discourses on interconnecting infrastructure planning on the Faroe Islands. The archipelago can be considered a substantial infrastructural project, with several sub-sea tunnels in the construction and planning-stages. Followin...

This study concerns hegemonic claims of knowing and how they manifest as discourses on interconnecting infrastructure planning on the Faroe Islands.

Applying a feminist critical discourse analysis (FCDA) to the Faroese Agency of Public Works planning reports we have been able to identify a masculinist planning discourse formulating gendered planning objectives.
