Temporal multimodality and performativity
This paper discusses the critical role of time in the discursive, communicative constitution of organization under neo-liberal capitalism and its normalization of uncertainty and change. Building on a review of extant time notions in studies of organizational discourse and communicative constitution of organization, we propose a critical approach to temporality inspired by feminist time notions, namely spacetimemattering and politics of time. In …
Narrating the anxious market
In this virtual roundtable, the editors of the special issue convened a discussion between three leading scholars in the fields of critical communication studies, CCT and marketing, to explore the roles, challenges and tensions that arise from the engagement of consumption and markets at the juncture of global crises. In the eclectic conversation, they critically probe the power imbalances in market narratives between the centre and the margin at…
Communication Constitutes Capital
In the last 30 years, the character of the capital accumulation process has shifted radically. With the advent of neoliberalism and post-Fordism, the production of surplus value is no longer about increasingly sophisticated efforts to determine the indeterminacy of labor, but rather about managing and exploiting the (in)determinacy of meaning and organizing (Mumby, 2016a). This suggests that the neoliberal capital accumulation process is more abo…
The Politics of Emotion
A feminist perspective on organizational theory exposes the male-centered, or patriarchal, worldview. By virtue of incorporating masculine systems as normal and rational, builders of extant theory produce and reproduce certain ways of understanding organizational life. A feminist reading of both concepts, bounded and rationality, opens up possibilities for alternative ways of organizing and for rewriting organizational theory. The implications of…
Resistance Redux
The last 15 years have witnessed renewed interest in resistance in and around organizations. In this essay, we offer a conceptual framework to thematize this burgeoning conceptual and empirical terrain. We critically explore scholarship that examines resistance in terms of its manifestations and political intent or impact. We offer four fields of possibility for resistance scholarship: individual infrapolitics, collective infrapolitics, insubordi…
Organizations—Made by Communication, Makers of Communication
This entry explores the evolving relationship between communication and organization, focusing in particular on the development of research in the wake of the so‐called “linguistic turn” in social theory and philosophy. It is argued that the current configuration of organizing processes requires close attention to the emergence of “communicative capitalism” as a defining feature of contemporary organizational life.
Organizing beyond organization
This essay presents an argument for critical organization studies scholars to more seriously address the phenomenon of corporate branding as a central, constitutive feature of organizing in contemporary capitalism. While brands and branding have historically been the domain of marketing and consumer studies researchers, I argue that a focus on the intersection of branding and organizing enables critical researchers to more effectively address the…

What’s cooking in organizational discourse studies? A response to Alvesson and Kärreman
While Alvesson and Kärreman’s (2000) ‘Varieties of Discourse’ essay was an important and oft-cited marker in the field of organizational discourse studies, I argue in this response that their rather gloomy, even curmudgeonly, updated reading of the field is not only misplaced but also rooted in their own reductionist conception of discourse — a charge that they themselves level against contemporary organizational discourse research. As a communic…
Organizational Communication
The term organizational communication denotes both a field of study and a set of empirical phenomena. The former is a largely US‐based subdiscipline of the field of communication studies (though programs are being established in New Zealand, Australia, Japan, South Korea, Europe, and China); the latter refers broadly to the various and complex communication practices of humans engaged in collective, coordinated, and goal‐oriented behavior. In sim…
Organizational Communication Studies and Gendered Organization
Theorizing Resistance in Organization Studies
This article provides an overview and critique of the extant research on work-place resistance. It argues that much of this research has developed around an implicit duality of resistance and control. In other words, critical studies have highlighted either the growing ubiquity and subtlety of managerial control or have privileged workers’ abilities to carve out spheres of autonomy within these control mechanisms. It suggests that, in contrast to…

The problem of hegemony
The purpose of this essay is to reread the concept of hegemony “against the grain” of interpretations currently dominant in communication studies generally, and in critical organizational communication studies specifically. I argue that the received reading of hegemony as domination through consent has lead to a bifurcation of critical studies into two models of power: a) a dominance model, in which relations of power and resistance are conceptua…
Modernism, Postmodernism, and Communication Studies
Recent writings in communication studies have tended to represent the relationship between modernist and postmodernist thought as bifurcated and oppositional in character. Such representations, I argue, result from inadequate characterizations of both the modernist and postmodernist projects and of the various conceptions of communication therein. I therefore suggest a move beyond a simple modern-postmodern dichotomy and articulate in its place f…

Narrative and Social Control
What is the relationship between narrative, society and the forms of control that function in society? This critical analysis examines the role of narrative in the creation of various social realities. The central theme is that narrative is a pervasive form of human communication integral to the production and shaping of social order. Each chapter provides both a theoretical framework and an examination of narratives in a range of communication c…

The political function of narrative in organizations
This article extends recent developments in critical‐interpretive approaches to organizations by examining the relationship between power, ideology, and organizational narrative. It is argued that the production of organizational reality can be explained in terms of its structuration through ideological meaning formations; such meaning formations simultaneously produce and are created by the structure of power interests in organizations. Organiza…

Power and Discourse in Organization Studies
This paper argues for a postmodern conception of power in which discourse is conceived as the principal medium through which power relations are maintained and reproduced. Specifically, power is identified as a pervasive characteristic of organizational life which constitutes the identity of organization members. Discourse, as a structured social practice, creates meaning formations rooted in a system of presence and absence which systematically …

Power, Discourse, and the Workplace
In the past ten yean the critical tradition has made significant contributions to communication studies in organizations, challenging the hegemony of mainstream, functionalist approaches. As a result, issues of power and control have become legitimate areas of study for organizational researchers.
