  • Against rectitude

    Open Access•Daniela Pianezzi, M Tyler•ARTICLE•Organization•2026

    Population expansion and longevity mean that as more people are living longer, the world is generating increasing numbers of dead bodies. This results in the practical challenge of how to ‘organize’ an increasingly large volume of human remains in ways that are ethically responsible. Enduring beliefs about how the dead should be cared for shape relevant practices which, in turn, reflect wider values orientated largely towards the primacy of the i…

  • The Tragedy of Cemeterial Work

    Open Access•Daniela Pianezzi, M Tyler•ARTICLE•Journal of Business Ethics•2026

    Working in a cemetery carries ethical weight – getting it ‘right’ matters. How might tragedy help us to illuminate the meaning, nature, and ethical significance of this work? This paper draws from a feminist reading of the Greek tragedy Antigone, via the theoretical work of Adriana Cavarero, to show what we can learn about the ethico-political significance of cemeterial work as an enactment of grievability. It showcases the power of tragedy throu…

  • Workers that matter and work that counts organizing and accounting for value(s)

    Open Access•Junaid Ashraf, Leanne Cutcher et al.•ARTICLE•Organization•2026

    Special Issues are spaces of political action with the potential to activate new beginnings. As a group of academics, daily confronted with the lives of individuals who struggle for recognition across the societies in which we live, we came together with the intention of posing both timeless and timely questions to our communities: questions about how the value of work is defined, who is counted, and what kinds of work and workers are allowed to …

  • Live Performance in the Age of Technological Mediatisation

    Open Access•Peter Hancock, M Tyler•ARTICLE•New Technology Work and Employment•2025•Referencias: 28

    Based on research into the work of live performers in the UK during and after the COVID‐19 pandemic and utilising Walter Benjamin's (1969) concept of authentic, or ‘auratic’ art, this article examines the use of livestreaming platforms by these performers during this time. In doing so, it reveals how, despite structural inequalities, this technology offered performers not only the chance to continue working but also to broaden ideas about what co…

  • Getting a grip’? Phenomenological insights into handling work place in London’s Soho

    Open Access•Kathleen Riach, M Tyler•ARTICLE•Human Relations•2024•Citada por: 4•Referencias: 38

    How are working lives shaped by the demands and expectations associated with a particular workplace? And how are work identities enacted to demonstrate a capacity to cope with place-based demands, expectations and associations? Drawing on insights from phenomenological perspectives on space, place and situated experience, particularly Merleau-Ponty’s concept of ‘grip’, and interview data drawn from longitudinal research with men and women working…

  • Live Performers' Experiences of Precarity and Recognition during Covid-19 and Beyond

    Open Access•Peter Hancock, M Tyler•ARTICLE•Work Employment and Society•2024•Citada por: 4•Referencias: 50

    COVID-19 devastated the ability of self-employed and freelance live performers working in the UK's live entertainment industries to sustain a living in an already precarious sector of employment. It also exposed the inadequacies of existing ways of conceptualising precarity in allowing a complete understanding of performers' experiences of precarious employment, particularly during such a crisis. Combining research into precarity, recognition the…

  • In praise of boredom at work

    Open Access•Lucie Noury, Sumati Ahuja et al.•ARTICLE•Organization•2022

    In the context of management and organisational literature, boredom has largely been seen in individual, psychological and negative terms, both for those experiencing it and for organisational outcomes. Through selective references to a wider sociological, historical and philosophical set of perspectives, we make a case here for refiguring boredom at work as a more relational and political notion. Rather than being seen as negative or trivial, we…

  • Heroism and/as injurious speech

    Open Access•Sophie Hales, M Tyler•ARTICLE•Gender Work and Organization•2022•Citada por: 4•Referencias: 4

    This paper draws on Judith Butler’s (2009, 1997) writing on precarity and the interpellatory power of naming, read through her recent writing on the dynamics of recognition, vulnerability, and resistance, to develop a critique of the discourse of heroism used to position health and social care professionals, and other key workers, during the COVID pandemic. It does so in order to reflect on the insights into workplace inequalities that this examp…

  • Chasing rainbows? A recognition-based critique of Primark’s precarious commitment to inclusion

    Open Access•M Tyler, Sheena Vachhani•ARTICLE•Organization•2021

    This paper develops a dialectical critique of organizational commitments to inclusion showing how, as rhetorical gestures, such commitments are undermined by practices of over-inclusion and exclusion. It argues that these practices are not distinct but interrelated aspects of the instrumental ways in which organizations respond to encounters with difference, limiting the latter’s capacity to open up new ways of being, and of organizing. This theo…

  • Thursday Night and a Sing-along 'Sung Alone

    Open Access•Peter Hancock, M Tyler et al.•ARTICLE•Work Employment and Society•2021•Citada por: 5•Referencias: 10

    COVID-19 has had a devastating impact on those working in the UK's creative economy, and particularly its entertainment sector. This article explores the experiences of Mark Godiva, a self-employed musician whose livelihood has been radically threatened by the virus and its associated restrictions. Mark's story highlights both the continuities and challenges that have been created for those working on the front line of what is a dramatically alte…

  • Soho at Work

    Open Access•M Tyler•BOOK•Soho at Work•2019

    What is it like to work in a place that is both a thriving and close-knit community and a globally recognised part of the commercial sex industry? London's Soho has always been a place of complexity, contrast and change throughout its colourful history, yet urban branding, local community initiatives and licensing regulations have combined to 'clean up' Soho, arguably to the point of sanitisation, and commercial over-development remains a continu…

  • Putting sexualized labour in the picture

    Open Access•Sophie Hales, Kathleen Riach et al.•ARTICLE•Organization•2019

    This article is based on a semiotic analysis of corporate websites in the lap dancing industry. Forming part of a larger ethnographic study of the UK lap dancing industry, it focuses on how the exchange relationship between dancers and customers is shaped by the industry’s online presence. Methodologically, it draws on Hancock’s semiotic approach to the analysis of organizational artefacts and Brewis’s writing on the importance of understanding h…

  • Stopped in our tracks

    Open Access•Talila Milroy, Leanne Cutcher et al.•ARTICLE•Gender Work and Organization•2019•Citada por: 3•Referencias: 18

    When the Western Australian government announced in 2010 that Indigenous people would be compensated for unpaid wages, a Yindjibarndi woman named Bigali Hanlon submitted an application to access her government files so that she could lodge a claim. At the age of four, Bigali was taken from her home in Mulga Downs, Western Australia to live in a church‐run hostel for ‘fair‐skinned’ Indigenous children until she was sent into indentured domestic se…

  • Reassembling difference? Rethinking inclusion through/as embodied ethics

    Open Access•M Tyler•ARTICLE•Human Relations•2019•Citada por: 38•Referencias: 49

    This article considers inclusion through the lens of embodied ethics. It does so by connecting feminist writing on recognition, ethics and embodiment to recent examples of political activism as instances of recognition-based organizing. In making these connections, the article draws on insights from Judith Butler’s recent writing on the ethics and politics of assembly in order to rethink how inclusion might be understood and practised. The articl…

  • Spaces and places of remembering and commemoration

    Open Access•Leanne Cutcher, K Dale et al.•ARTICLE•Organization•2016

    Organisations engage in remembering and commemorative practices, often to produce effects of stability and continuity and to create shared meanings and culture, yet commemoration has been a relatively neglected theme in the study of organisations. The articles in this Special Issue range across diverse examples to provide a rich understanding of the dynamic and complex processes involved in the organisation of commemoration. In particular, they i…

  • Still Red Hot? Postfeminism and Gender Subjectivity in the Airline Industry

    Open Access•K Duffy, Peter Hancock et al.•ARTICLE•Gender Work and Organization•2016•Citada por: 10•Referencias: 19

    This article considers the relationship between postfeminism and gender subjectivity through a critique of the retro‐aesthetic encoded into Virgin Atlantic's Still Red Hot advertising campaign. Launched in 2009, and prompting a series of complaints to the Advertising Standards Authority, this high‐profile 25th‐anniversary campaign featured crowds of people staring in awe at a group of 1980s‐styled female cabin crew, and a male pilot, walking thro…

  • Towards a Butlerian methodology

    Open Access•Kathleen Riach, Nick Rumens et al.•ARTICLE•Human Relations•2016•Citada por: 29•Referencias: 45

    This article explores the methodological possibilities that Butler’s theory of performativity opens up, attempting to ‘translate’ her theoretical ideas into research practice. Specifically, it considers how research on organizational subjectivity premised upon a performative ontology might be undertaken. It asks: What form might a Butler-inspired methodology take? What methodological opportunities might it afford for developing self-reflexive res…

  • Un/doing Chrononormativity

    Open Access•Kathleen Riach, Nicholas Rumens et al.•ARTICLE•Organization Studies•2014

    This paper is based on a series of ‘anti-narrative’ interviews designed to explore the ways in which lived experiences of age, gender and sexuality are negotiated and narrated within organizations in later life. It draws on Judith Butler’s performative ontology of gender, particularly her account of the ways in which the desire for recognition is shaped by heteronormativity, considering its implications for how we study ageing and organizations. …

  • Working in the other Square Mile

    Open Access•M Tyler•ARTICLE•Work Employment and Society•2012•Citada por: 5•Referencias: 27

    Drawing on an ethnographic study of an empirically neglected sector and setting of employment, namely sales-service work in sex shops located in London's Soho, this article develops the sociological analysis of sales-service work in two ways. First, it emphasizes the inter-relationship between emotion, aesthetics and sexuality underpinning the performance of sexualized labour, shaping the way in which the latter is enacted and embodied. Second, i…

    This paper examines service work within the contemporary airline industry which has recently been shaped by managerial initiatives aiming to deliver ‘quality service’. We focus upon the gendered consequences of this. On the basis of original empirical research, three specific arguments are advanced: firstly, recent competitive pressures and accompanying managerial initiatives are intensifying demands upon female employees for the production of em…

    This paper draws on empirical research into the recruitment, training, and management of female flight attendants, working primarily in the transatlantic business travel sector of the contemporary airline industry. We argue that whilst the `skills' which flight attendants are required to deploy are denied, being treated as somehow inherent abilities and thus neither trained nor remunerated, they are nevertheless managed in a directive way. This m…

  • Management in/as Comic Relief

    Open Access•M Tyler, Laurie Cohen•ARTICLE•Gender Work and Organization•2007•Citada por: 29•Referencias: 6

    Our discussion here focuses on gender performativity — the evocation of gender through stylized modes of interaction and the recitation of particular cultural norms — in the BBC comedy series The Office . We suggest that The Office can be read as a cultural text that brings sedimented ways of thinking about and enacting gender into relief, a technique that effectively ‘queers’ management and organization as gendered phenomena. In doing so, we arg…

Drawing on critical social theory and particularly Habermas’s account of ‘the rational organization of everyday life’, as well as what has come to be known as critical management studies (CMS), the …

  • Thank Heaven for Little Girls

    Open Access•Rachel Russell, M Tyler•ARTICLE•Sociology•2002•Citada por: 21•Referencias: 17

    This paper is based on a critical analysis of a chain of retail outlets called 'Girl Heaven', aimed primarily at 3-13-year-old girls, described variously as 'a piece of retail folklore' (Lumsden, 1999) and as 'Guardian Wimmin Hell' (Kettle, 1999). It argues that while on the one hand Girl Heaven appears to provide a celebratory social space in which girls can affirm their femininity, it also seems to epitomize the commercial appropriation of chil…

    Drawing on empirical research data on the work of flight attendants, this paper will explore Marcel Mauss's theory of ‘gift’ exchange relations, with particular reference to his concern with the ‘exchange of aesthetics’ (Mauss 1954), as an analytical model which may contribute to our understanding of ‘women's work’ in contemporary Western societies, of which, we shall argue, the work of female flight attendants is a notable example. It will begin…

  • Un/doing Gender and the Aesthetics of Organizational Performance

    Open Access•Peter Hancock, M Tyler•ARTICLE•Gender Work and Organization•2007•Citada por: 17•Referencias: 22

    In the age of the so‐called ‘expressive organization’ and the ‘aesthetic economy’, for an organization to compete in the global marketplace it would appear that it must perform. This does not refer simply to economic performance, but rather to the idea of performance as a means of affecting both people's impressions and definitions of reality. In this article we argue that such performativity is achieved, in part, through the power of symbolism a…

    Open Access•Peter Hancock, M Tyler•ARTICLE•Gender Work and Organization•2007•Citada por: 17•Referencias: 22

    In the age of the so‐called ‘expressive organization’ and the ‘aesthetic economy’, for an organization to compete in the global marketplace it would appear that it must perform. This does not refer simply to economic performance, but rather to the idea of performance as a means of affecting both people's impressions and definitions of reality. In this article we argue that such performativity is achieved, in part, through the power of symbolism a…

  • Management in/as Comic Relief

    Open Access•M Tyler, Laurie Cohen•ARTICLE•Gender Work and Organization•2007•Citada por: 29•Referencias: 6

    Our discussion here focuses on gender performativity — the evocation of gender through stylized modes of interaction and the recitation of particular cultural norms — in the BBC comedy series The Office . We suggest that The Office can be read as a cultural text that brings sedimented ways of thinking about and enacting gender into relief, a technique that effectively ‘queers’ management and organization as gendered phenomena. In doing so, we arg…

  • The tyranny of corporate slenderness

    Open Access•M Tyler, Adrian Wilkinson•ARTICLE•Work Employment and Society•2007•Citada por: 4•Referencias: 22

    This paper reflects on the organizational pursuit of leanness as a corporate aesthetic.In contrast to more mainstream accounts of downsizing techniques and practices, its primary concern is with the symbolic and aesthetic aspects of downsizing.It focuses particularly o n ' c o r p o r a t e a n o r e x i a ' , e mp h a s i z ing the ways in which this managerial metaphor serves to detract critical attention away from the perpetuation of a dieting…

  • Parameters in Television Captioning for Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing Adults

    Denis Burnham, Greg Leigh et al.•ARTICLE•The Journal of Deaf Studies and…•2008

    Caption rate and text reduction are factors that appear to affect the comprehension of captions by people who are deaf or hard of hearing. These 2 factors are confounded in everyday captioning; rate (in words per minute) is slowed by text reduction. In this study, caption rate and text reduction were manipulated independently in 2 experiments to assess any differential effects and possible benefits for comprehension by deaf and hard-of-hearing ad…

  • Beyond the Confines

    Open Access•Peter Hancock, Philip Hancock et al.•ARTICLE•Critical Sociology•2008•Citada por: 2•Referencias: 15

    Drawing on critical social theory, this article argues that critical management studies (CMS) should extend its analytical gaze beyond the work organization and consider the ways in which management increasingly appears to colonize the subjectivity-constituting experiences and practices of everyday life. This argument is developed with reference to a discussion of various illustrations of the cultural ubiquity of management. The article concludes…

  • Growing Customers

    Open Access•M Tyler•ARTICLE•Journal of Consumer Culture•2009•Citada por: 1•Referencias: 5

    This article seeks to draw together insights from the sociologies of childhood and consumer culture as well as recent research on sales-service work to argue the case for a `paediocular' approach to the study of consumer culture and service work. Such an approach, it is argued here, would draw attention to the ways in which both the presence of children as consumers and dominant social constructions of childhood shape the configuration, managemen…

  • Spaces that Matter

    Open Access•M Tyler, Laurie Cohen•ARTICLE•Organization Studies•2010

    This paper examines the relationship between gender performativity and organizational space. Specifically, it focuses on some of the ways in which gender is materialized in and through workspace in accordance with the dominant gender norms shaping organizational life, a theme that has been relatively neglected within organization studies to date. Judith Butler’s (1988, 1993, 2000 [1990], 2004) performative analysis of gender draws critical attent…

  • Tainted love

    Open Access•M Tyler•ARTICLE•Human Relations•2011•Citada por: 39•Referencias: 49

    This article is based on ethnographic research carried out in sex shops – retail premises selling sex toys, clothing and accessories, as well as sexually explicit books and films – located in London’s Soho. Drawing on the concept of ‘dirty work’, it explores not only the ways in which the various taints associated with dirty work – physical, social and moral – are lived and experienced, but also the allure of this particular type of work for thos…

  • Working in the other Square Mile

    Open Access•M Tyler•ARTICLE•Work Employment and Society•2012•Citada por: 5•Referencias: 27

    Drawing on an ethnographic study of an empirically neglected sector and setting of employment, namely sales-service work in sex shops located in London's Soho, this article develops the sociological analysis of sales-service work in two ways. First, it emphasizes the inter-relationship between emotion, aesthetics and sexuality underpinning the performance of sexualized labour, shaping the way in which the latter is enacted and embodied. Second, i…

  • Un/doing Chrononormativity

    Open Access•Kathleen Riach, Nicholas Rumens et al.•ARTICLE•Organization Studies•2014

    This paper is based on a series of ‘anti-narrative’ interviews designed to explore the ways in which lived experiences of age, gender and sexuality are negotiated and narrated within organizations in later life. It draws on Judith Butler’s performative ontology of gender, particularly her account of the ways in which the desire for recognition is shaped by heteronormativity, considering its implications for how we study ageing and organizations. …
