Practicing Sociology: Tacit Knowledge for the Social Scientific Craft
The Interloper: Lessons from Resistance in the Field
A practical and theoretical guide for field researchers struggling with access Resistance is the bane of all field researchers, who are often viewed as interlopers when they enter a community and start asking questions. People obstruct investigations and hide evidence. They shelve complaints, silence dissent, and even forget their own past and deny having done so. How can we learn about a community when its members resist so strongly? The answer …

Rebooting One’s Professional Work: The Case of French Anesthesiologists Using Hypnosis
Individuals deeply socialized into professional cultures tend to strongly resist breaking from their professions’ core cultural tenets. When these individuals face external pressure (e.g., via new technology or regulation), they typically turn to peers for guidance in such involuntary reinventions of their work. But it is unclear how some professionals may voluntarily break from deeply ingrained views. Through our study of French anesthesiologist…
Achieving Rigor in Qualitative Analysis: The Role of Active Categorization in Theory Building
Scholars have long debated how rigor can be achieved in qualitative analysis. To answer this question, we need to better understand how theory is generated from data. Qualitative analysis is, at its core, a categorization process. Nevertheless, despite a surge of interest in categorization within the social sciences, insights from categorization theory have not yet been applied to our understanding of qualitative analysis. Drawing from categoriza…
Translating Expertise across Work Contexts: U.S. Puppeteers Move from Stage to Screen
Expertise is a key currency in today’s knowledge economy. Yet as experts increasingly move across work contexts, how expertise translates across contexts is less well understood. Here, we examine how a shift in context—which reorders the relative attention experts pay to distinct types of audiences—redefines what it means to be an expert. Our study’s setting is an established expertise in the creative industry: puppet manipulation. Through an exa…
Stand-in Labor and the Rising Economy of Self
Ghostwriters represent a form of labor aimed at producing someone else’s self, or what we label “stand-in labor.” This growing workforce sits at the intersection of critical developments in today’s neoliberal economy: the rise in self-branding, the growth in outsourcing of the self, and mounting income inequality. This article explores the experience of stand-in workers and its implication on the economy of self. Relying on 72 interviews with gho…
Sur les traces de Michel Crozier en Amérique
The sociologist Michel Crozier went to North America several times, including visits to the universities of California, Harvard, Michigan, and Stanford. He always saw himself as a friend, even an admirer, of the United States. But what scholarly impact did he have on the US field of organizational behavior? Relying on an analysis of Crozier’s citation-impact within a sample of organizational behavior journals, this article demonstrates that his f…
Three Lenses on Occupations and Professions in Organizations: Becoming, Doing, and Relating
Management and organizational scholarship is overdue for a reappraisal of occupations and professions as well as a critical review of past and current work on the topic. Indeed, the field has largely failed to keep pace with the rising salience of occupational and professional (as opposed to organizational) dynamics in work life. Moreover, not only is there a dearth of studies that explicitly take occupational or professional categories into acco…
The Geography of Stigma Management: The Relationship between Sexual Orientation, City Size, and Self-monitoring
This study examines whether self-monitoring-a ubiquitous social psychological construct that captures the extent to which individuals regulate their self-presentation to match the expectation of others-varies across demographic and social contexts. Building on Erving Goffman's classic insights on stigma management, the authors expect that the propensity for self-monitoring will be greater among sexual minorities, especially in areas where the sti…
The Moral Background: An Inquiry into the History of Business Ethics, G. Abend
Le fait que la Cour suprême des États-Unis vienne d’entériner la demande de l’entreprise familiale Hobby Lobby de ne pas couvrir, pour des motifs religieux, l’accès de ses employés à certaines formes de contraception mandatées par la loi fédérale (comme la pilule du lendemain) en dit long sur l’acceptation croissante de la notion qu’une entreprise puisse avoir une autorité morale propre, ici religieuse. Ce jugement — même s’il se limite pour le m…

Collective Memory Meets Organizational Identity: Remembering to Forget in a Firm's Rhetorical History
Much organizational identity research has grappled with the question of identity emergence or change. Yet the question of identity endurance is equally puzzling. Relying primarily on an analysis of 309 internal bulletins produced at a French aeronautics firm over almost 50 years, we theorize a link between collective memory and organizational identity endurance. More specifically, we show how forgetting in a firm's ongoing rhetorical history—here…

Gwenaële Rot, Sociologie de l'atelier: Renault, le travail ouvrier et le sociologue
En s’attaquant à l’ancienne Régie Renault comme lieu d’étude, Gwenaële Rot marche sur les traces d’observateurs illustres et doit se confronter au mythe Renault, en plus de son propre terrain dans les ateliers du constructeur. L’auteur réussit ce pari en s’appuyant ingénieusement sur ces mythes pour expliquer ses propres données. Le plaisir que l’on prend à lire cet ouvrage provient autant de l’imaginaire qu’il évoque que de la contribution de l’…
"Factory "Homers: Understanding a Highly Elusive, Marginal, and Illegal Practice
La « perruque » en usine: Approche d'Une Pratique Marginale, Illégale Et Fuyante
La « perruque » consiste en l’utilisation de matériaux et d’outils par un travailleur, sur le lieu de travail et pendant le temps de travail, dans le but de fabriquer un objet en dehors de la production normale de l’entreprise. Même si de nombreuses traces juridiques, artistiques et ethnographiques attestent cette pratique, elle reste entourée d’un silence qui n’est pas simplement lié à sa marginalité et à son illégalité, ce qui ressort de l’exam…
The `Moralities' of Poaching: Manufacturing Personal Artifacts on the Factory Floor
Poaching, usually understood as trespassing in pursuit of game, in the context of the French aerospace factory described in this article, amounts to manufacturing objects on company time and with company materials and tools for personal use. These objects are known as `homers' in English and perruques in French. The account of homers by a French aerospace employee presented in this article is informed by other ethnographic accounts of similar pra…
