Opis

Discussions of feminism and gender in organizations and management studies in general, have become stuck in a time-warp. This lies in stark contrast to the wide range of topical published work on feminist and gender theory that is available. Through ignoring developments by major gender theorists, restrictions are placed on what can be said about sex, gender and sexualities in organizations. Gender in the Organization: Women at Work in 21^st Century looks to update management organizational studies with the recent developments in gender theory, including theories of embodiment, affect, materiality, identity, subjectification, recognition, and the intertwining of political, social and the psyche. As well as looking backwards at existing feminist and gender theory, this exciting book also looks forward, developing an organizational feminist theory for the 21^st century. Exploring what feminist ethics of an organization would look like, this volume shows what a revivified feminist organization studies could offer to gender theorists more generally. This book will be of interest not only to management and organization theorists, but also more generally to feminist and gender theorists working across the social sciences, arts and humanities. It will appeal to postgraduate and research students and also to established organization and management theorists working in business schools in the English-speaking world.
