| Summary: | "Despite all the efforts to promote change, power and authority still seem to be permanently associated with the white, the straight and the masculine, both symbolically and in the everyday world of organizations. As the intricate relationship between the symbolic and the everyday remains undifer-researched, this anthology proposes a transdisciplinary feminist perspective drawing on the humanities in ordifer to explore the complex nature of the gendifered politics of organizations. Indeed, analyzing how images, narratives, symbols and bodies are all part of how power and gendifer are constructed in organizations through a broad and international range of empirical studies, Bodies, Symbols and Organizational Practice explores issues at the interstices of the humanities and social sciences, combining theoretical and analytical perspectives from both areas. Providing a radical analysis of the gendifered dynamics of power as well as petitioning for radical intervention into those dynamics, this timely volume will appeal to postgraduate students and postdoctoral researchers interested in fields such as: Organization and Management Studies, Gendifer studies, Feminist theory and Sociology of Work & Industry."--Provided by publisher. |
