And then I undress the work’
How do professional mothers whose bodies undergo significant transformations engage with materiality – such as clothing, makeup and their own bodies – as active ‘resources’ when navigating their identities after maternity leave? Building on the literature on embodied identity work, we conducted 31 interviews with professional mothers in Finland to explore this question. We illustrate how mothers engage with the body and material objects to shape …
Becoming a Gamer
This article examines how women construct their gameplay identities in relation to the hegemonic “gamer” discourse. The article is based on semi-structured in-depth interviews with women who occupy central roles in the Finnish gaming industry. We deploy Judith Butler’s theorization of performative identity construction to examine how the women negotiate their identity in relation to the hegemonic gamer discourse, focusing on how they both embrace…
Becoming upbeat
How is it that some organizational practices flow like clockwork and may even energize us but others seem to be stuck in the mud and diminish our capacity to act? In order to understand this, we develop a concept of affecto-rhythmic order that captures how rhythms and affects interrelate in the flow of organizational practices. Adopting a sociomaterial practice perspective, our ethnographic study of a Nordic startup accelerator demonstrates how p…
Becoming academics
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to analyze how global and local changes in higher education impact upon writing practices through which doctoral students become academics. The study explores how norms and values of academic writing practice are learned, negotiated and resisted and elucidates how competences related to writing come to determine the academic selves. Design/methodology/approach The study uses memory work, which is a group metho…
(Re)constructing economic citizenship in a welfare state – intersections of gender and class
Purpose – The purpose of the paper is to discuss and illustrate how contemporary market discourses rearticulate socio-political relationships and identities, including the rights, duties, and opportunities of individuals and categories of individuals as citizens. More specifically, the purpose is to analyze how “economic citizenship” is articulated and negotiated in the intersection of (Nordic) welfare state ideals and shareholder-oriented market…
Self‐reflexivity as the practice of empathy
Purpose This paper acts as a commentary on the paper “Self‐reflexivity scrutinized: (pro‐)feminist men learning that gender matters” (Styhre and Tienari, 2013). Design/methodology/approach The following discussion seeks to build on Styhre and Tienari's argumentation and points to arguments of agreement and disagreement. Findings First, the authors argue that while self‐reflexivity cannot be fully taken into account it would be detrimental to soci…
He is a Firm, Strong‐Minded and Empowering Leader, but is She? Gendered Positioning of Female and Male CEOs
The article focuses on how management and gender are done in written stories about female and male chief executive officers (CEOs). The stories were written by young Finnish business school students. The logic for studying stories written by students lies in the argument that the new generation will not reproduce common stereotypes about soft, democratic and caring female managers and hard, authoritarian and strong male managers. In the analysis,…
Negotiating Moral Orders in Chinese Business Families in Finland
This article explores how Chinese business families in the Chinese catering sector in the Helsinki metropolitan Area (Finland) articulate gendered and ethnicized moral orders in the relationship that ensues between the researcher and the research participants. Earlier studies indicate that overseas Chinese family businesses are patriarchal family firms characterized by filial piety, frugality and a concern for family welfare. This article challen…
Metamorphosis
This article explores the random strategies women adopt in resisting patriarchal articulations of their professional identity and the kind of organizational discourses women’s resistance brings about. The focus is on describing the context, dynamics of contradictory tensions and ambivalence inherent in situations of resisting. The article draws upon the authors’ own experiences in academia. In addition to participatory observation, the authors ar…
A Serious Researcher or Just Another Nice Girl
This paper explores how we as female researchers are constructing our professional identities in a male‐dominated scientific world. In particular, we focus on the extent to which patriarchal articulations of professional identities influence female academics' self‐concept and consciousness of their own abilities. We believe that the business school in which we work reproduces certain inequalities systematically, if unintentionally. We are especia…
