Karin Stephen
This paper highlights the important contribution to psychoanalysis made by the psychoanalyst Karin Stephen. Following in the footsteps of other feminist biographers and historians of psychoanalysis, who have worked to bring ‘Freud’s women’ out of the shadows, this article not only focuses on Karin Stephen’s role within the internal political struggles of the British Psychoanalytical Society during the Second World War, but also shows how her psyc…
Health and wellness but at what cost? Technology media justifications for wearable technology use in organizations
Wearable technology (WT) use in organizations is accelerating despite ethical concerns about personal privacy, data security, and stress from increased surveillance. Technology media, a key producer of meanings about WT, gives some attention to these issues but they also routinely promote WT as if they are a panacea for employee wellness. We critically analyze 150 media articles to understand how they justify the adoption of WT into organizationa…
Transpositions as a hopeful methodology for organizational studies
In this paper, we introduce Braidotti’s notion of transpositions as a methodology and strategy for ‘hopeful disruptions’ in the context of organizational inquiry. Transpositions consist of six interwoven practices―(1) embracing alternative ways of seeing and understanding the world, (2) assessing and critiquing imaginary forms, (3) preparing to make the ‘creative leap’, (4) accounting for locations and positioning, (5) storying the ‘in‐between’ s…

Furry Families
Companion animals (CA) are seen as part of the family by their human guardians. However, guardians' intense attitudes towards CA can lead to tensions with larger society. Recent scholarship has argued for more critical work exploring interspecies family relations. The present research is framed by previous scholarship exploring CA family relations and the role that storytelling about animals plays in developing ethical relations with animals. We …
Te Ao Māori and One Welfare in Aotearoa New Zealand
This chapter discusses One Welfare, which is an influential approach to understanding the vital relationship between human and animal welfare in a variety of industries and organizations around the world. One Welfare Aotearoa recognizes the need for both a trans-disciplinary approach and partnership with Māori (the tangata whenua or Indigenous people of Aotearoa New Zealand), around human-nonhuman-environmental interfaces to do with human and ani…
Posthuman Affirmative Business Ethics
Posthuman affirmative ethics relies upon a fluid, nomadic conception of the ethical subject who develops affective, material and immaterial connections to multiple others. Our purpose in this paper is to consider what posthuman affirmative business ethics would look like, and to reflect on the shift in thinking and practice this would involve. The need for a revised understanding of human–animal relations in business ethics is amplified by crises…
Pragmatic evaluation of transdisciplinary research on gender equity in the New Zealand public service
Purpose Despite the need for such, little scholarly attention has been paid to transdisciplinary enquiry into gender inequities in workplaces. The authors provide a pragmatic evaluation of the transdisciplinary research (TDR) model by Hall et al. (2012) for framing the study of this societal issue, shedding light on the challenges, principles and values that could usefully inform subsequent TDR in organisational settings. Design/methodology/appro…
Gender and ethnic equity in Aotearoa New Zealand's public service before and since Covid‐19
Since its bi‐cultural foundation with Te Tiriti o Waitangi (the Treaty of Waitangi, signed in 1840 by Māori, the indigenous Polynesian people of Aotearoa New Zealand (NZ), chiefs and representatives of the British Crown), cultural identities have expanded through immigration. While Aotearoa NZ's government seeks to encourage workplace diversity in public service agencies, developments are being disrupted by Covid‐19. Using a typology of equality …
Show us what you’ve got”
This inquiry both builds on and extends exploration into gendered research through a focus on researcher vulnerability and its associated ethics. We discuss six critical vignettes across Western and Eastern contexts in which female researchers are “undone” and subsequently “redone” during their research endeavors. We draw upon Butler's work on gender and vulnerability, theorized as a subset of precarity. Attention is drawn to attempts to reframe,…
The King was pregnant”
Continuing the work of feminist organizational studies scholars who have urged researchers to find ways of presenting knowledge and writing “differently,” we discuss the contributions of Ursula Le Guin whose fiction and nonfiction have had a profound influence on feminist theory development. We provide an overview of Le Guin's progenitors, her oeuvre, and provide an explanation and assessment of her influence on feminist thought including the con…

A report to an academy
How can organisational studies theory respond to the call of nonhuman animals? This article argues there is ‘too much humanism’ in organisational studies and defines the problem as originating in language practices. The example of factory-farmed pigs is used to illustrate the argument. Derrida’s term carnophallogocentrism is used to suggest that ethical thinking about the animal be moved from face-to-face encounters through the eyes to the mouth …
King Konsumer
Menippean satires (Bakhtin’s ‘spoudo-geloion’) satirize their audience(s) directly. By playfully attacking the sensibility and/or perceptions, Menippean satires seek to reveal readers to themselves enabling them to see themselves and their world(s) more clearly. To date, however, the study of the Menippean tradition has largely been restricted to works of literature and canonical authors such as Lucian, Varro, Rabelais, Swift, Joyce, McLuhan and …
Telling tales
The article extends previous research on the storying practices of service workers, workplace humour as resistance, and workers’ autonomous use of social media. Discussion strings from two hairstylist forum storylines, exemplifying comic and tragic story‐sharing about difficult customers, were analysed using Gabriel's notion of story‐work. Processes of coping, entertainment, identity‐construction and learning are clearly evident in the discussion…
Adrian Stokes and the portrait of Melanie Klein
This paper focuses on the offer by the art writer Adrian Stokes to commission and pay for a portrait of the psychoanalyst Melanie Klein by the artist William Coldstream. It details some of the precursors of this offer in Stokes's preceding involvement first with Klein and then with Coldstream; her response to this offer; and its outcome and aftermath in Stokes's subsequent writing about Klein and Coldstream
Freud's Art - Psychoanalysis Retold
In Freud's Art – Psychoanalysis Retold Janet Sayers provides a refreshing new introduction to psychoanalysis by retelling its story through art. She does this by bringing together experts from psychoanalysis, art history, and art education to show how art and psychoanalysis illuminate each other. Freud's Art begins with major founders of psychoanalysis - Freud, Jung, Spielrein and Klein. It then details art-minded developments of their ideas by A…
Truth Scribbled in Blood
Inspired by H élène C ixous's ‘The laugh of the M edusa’, this paper revisits a public uproar over menstruation in the workplace triggered by a statement from the CEO of N ew Z ealand's largest body of private sector employers, that periods make women take more sick leave than men. The utterance triggered an astonishing outpouring of public discussion and writing about working while menstruating, as well as about productivity and equal pay. We di…

Blake's ‘London’
We read Blake's poem ‘London’ aimed at sensitising readers to the early nineteenth century plight of London's most vulnerable citizens. Our reading surfaces several issues relevant to organisational theorising: the role of ‘diabolical reading’ strategies in creating mental flux through textual flux; the use of visual and poetic symbolism to contest the language systems implicated in the psychic effects of institutional domination; and Blake's nar…

Taking the piss”
This paper shows how banter helps forge organizational culture by facilitating socialization of work group members and presents original research conducted in three IT companies. Informants identified their style of humor as “taking the piss,” a colloquial term meaning to use jocular abuse to deflate someone else's ego to bring them to the same level as others. The IT organizations studied were young, creative and energetic and the banter was liv…

Emotional Responses to the Speed, Frequency and Timing of Organizational Change
This article reports on a qualitative study which investigates the role of time in the emotions experienced during organizational change. Whereas much empirical research on emotions and time has been conducted in highly controlled experimental settings, this study discusses subjects’ emotional experiences during real-life change events related to three temporal dimensions: speed, frequency and timing. Three themes emerge from our findings: the re…

Marion Milner, Mysticism and Psychoanalysis
It is unusual to combine mysticism and psychoanalysis. Marion Milner, however, achieved precisely this. Through her self‐analysis and analytic work with children and adults—and using as an illustration her own and others' imaginative ideas, paintings, doodles, drawings and pictures—she drew attention to the potential for health and creativity of undoing the obstacles to mystical experience of oneness with what is beyond or other than the self, wh…
Violence and Social Work
Violence is central to much social work practice. Yet social workers and their clients are not well versed in effectively tackling it. As a result they often take inadequate steps to avoid it — including those of denial, rationalisation, and reaction formation. Illustrating these defences by reference to recent work with battered women, more realistic approaches to dealing with violence — both with victims and their assailants — are then outlined…

Art Rules? Brokering the Aesthetics of City Places and Spaces
In a narrative built around our experience of art placed in the lobby of a corporate edifice, we argue that a city bureaucracy is actively participating in the legitimised abduction of community resources by urban developers: that however well‐intentioned, subscription to the notion that social, environmental, and aesthetic responsibilities can be expected of, and accounted for, by corporate business, is naïve. Our intention is to signal the outc…

The Female Malady
In this informative, timely and often harrowing study, Elaine Showalter demonstrates how cultural ideas about 'proper' feminine behaviour have shaped the definition and treatment of female insanity for 150 years, and given mental disorder in women specifically sexual connotations. Along with vivid portraits of the men who dominated psychiatry, and descriptions of the therapeutic practices that were used to bring women 'to their senses', she draws…
