Irrational Exuberance
Émile Zola's L'Argent has been relatively neglected by critical studies. This interdisciplinary study adds to earlier approaches by examining the ways in which Zola's novel anticipates strands of contemporary behavioural finance, notably in its analysis of the psychological and social conditions behind 'irrational exuberance' and a speculative stock-market bubble. A few avenues are explored, inspired by Robert Shiller's Irrational Exuberance: pre…
City governance and visual impression management
A major preoccupation in the contemporary organizational landscape is governance and how to cope with conflict and uncertainty. These challenges are particularly evident in the governance of cities, with their complex histories, politics and administrative processes. We argue that visual artefacts can form powerful visual impression management, constituting ‘visual governance’, for dealing with such complexities. We construct a framework from the…
Must Women Work Together? Development Agency Assumptions versus Changing Relations of Production in Southern Malawi Households
This chapter singles out for discussion a key contributing factor in the failure of externally-inspired income-generating projects in southern Malawi - the assumption that women prefer cooperative production to individual production. It examines changes in household productive relations that have intensified women's agricultural workload while undermining their economic autonomy in matrilineai, peasant communities in southern Malawi. The chapter …
Illustrating a sentimental journey
When the Spanish Civil War broke out in 1936 the Irish novelist and playwright Kate O’Brien felt compelled to respond. The result was her travelogue, Farewell Spain (1937 O’Brien, Kate. (1937) 2006. Farewell Spain. London: Virago. [Google Scholar]). O’Brien’s antipathy for the Franco regime is apparent as she takes the reader on a sentimental journey that is accompanied by a series of 13 pencil-drawn illustrations by Mary O’Neill. A series of let…
Looking back
Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to reflect on the development of visual qualitative research in organizations and management over the past ten years, the experience of editing a special issue of Qualitative Research in Organizations and Management entitled “Exploring the visual in organizations and management”, and the potential contributions this journal could make to the advancement of this significant area of research. Design/methodolog…
Visual Management Studies
The field of visual research in management studies is developing rapidly and has reached a point of maturity where it is useful to bring together and evaluate existing work in this area and to critically assess its current impact and future prospects. Visual research is broadly defined to encompass a variety of forms, including pictures, graphs, film, web pages and architecture. It also incorporates work from several sub‐disciplines (organization…
Exploring the visual in organizations and management
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to discuss how “the visual” might be conceptualised more broadly as a useful development of qualitative methodologies for organizational research. The paper introduces the articles that form the basis of this special issue of QROM , including a review of related studies that discuss the analysis of organizational visuals, as well as extant literature that develops a methodological agenda for visual organizatio…

Voices From Mutira
To update this rich, informative collection of life histories, Davison returned to Mutira in 1989, 1992, and 1994, documenting the changes occurring since her 1984 study. Two new introductory chapters frame the life histories within the context both of the significant macrolevel transitions in Kenya and the current thinking about gender and the development process.
Land in African Agrarian Systems
Land in African Agrarian Systems argues that proposals for sweeping changes in African agricultural land tenure are misconceived. Colonial administrators, African elites, and foreign aid donors have historically viewed the variety of indigenous landholding systems as obstacles to increased agricultural production and to economic progress in general, believing that only private land ownership will provide the investment security necessary for agri…
School attainment and gender
Tenacious women
This article examines major shifts in southern Malawi's matrilineal societies at the household level that have contributed to the intensification of women's agricultural workload and the undermining of their relative economic autonomy. Slave trading and incursions from militant, patrilineal invaders weakened women's authority in the pre‐colonial period while missionary activities and capitalist administrative practices further eroded women's cont…
