Systemic factors in workplace accidents
Increasingly the complexities of organisational systems and the systemic nature of serious workplace injuries and fatalities are characterised by unpredictable outcomes. A complex systems thinking approach is needed to identify and analyse system interactions and systemic causal factors to explore the connections between people, technology and organisational systems and the incidence of workplace accidents. This umbrella review aimed to analyse t…
Tibetan Nation
This detailed history offers the most comprehensive account available of Tibetan nationalism, Sino-Tibetan relations, and the issue of Tibetan self-determination. Warren Smith explores Tibet's ethnic and national origins, the birth of the Tibetan state, the Buddhist state and its relations with China, Tibet's quest for independence, and the Chinese takeover of Tibet after 1950. Focusing especially on post-1950 Tibet under Chinese Communist rule, …
Becoming invisible
This speculative essay examines ‘invisible’ social identities and the processes by which they are manifested and occasionally sought. Using various literary and academic sources, and loosely informed by an unlikely combination of Stoic philosophy and post-structuralist politics, we argue that invisibility is conventionally viewed as undesirable or ‘suffered’ by individuals or groups that are disadvantaged or marginalised within society. Whilst ap…

Critical Management Studies
The development of critical management studies (CMS) has been marked by much internal debate. There are disagreements over its objectives and methods, and also in providing a positive sense as to what it should be for. Differences exist between a strategy of engagement with management and a radical approach that, fearing co-option, disengages from established practices. But both these strategies are influenced by CMS's situation and participation…
Organizing Death
Much writing on death contrasts its existential significance with our strategies of avoidance. These strategies, it is argued, are manifested in the practices and institutions of modern life and have led to the sequestration of death. This is felt to have separated us from something vital, a belief that seems to, implicitly or explicitly, rest upon claims of (lost) authenticity. But this seems a rather cool account that somewhat conveniently disp…
Postmodernism and Popularisation
Popular accounts of science have helped to stimulate greater public interest in the role of science in contemporary society. For example, chaos theory and complexity theory have proven to be highly marketable science "products". These concepts have increasingly travelled into wider culture and, notably, the study of organization. Through an interpretation that promotes a leaning towards uncertainty, unpredictability and ambiguity, these accounts …

Community and its 'virtual' promises
The paper examines and critiques some of the libertarian rhetoric surrounding the 'virtual community'. In so doing, it argues that cyberlibertarians have misunderstood what community is by placing too much emphasis on a disembodied individual. Although it remains influential, cyberlibertarian rhetoric is a far cry from the everyday practices that are being constructed and reproduced via the Internet. By drawing attention to such practices, the pa…
Community and its 'virtual' promises
The sense of violence and the absence of consolation
The paper is an attempt to engage with our contemplations of violence and the failure of familiar explanations to capture these contemplations. We begin our explorations of these familiar accounts by examining contemporary debates on media violence but find these problematic. By reducing media violence to mere spectacle or, on the contrary, by seeing such violence as desensitising and destructive, the various positions in the debates deprive viol…
