“Defund the Police” UK
It is sometimes argued that calls to “defund the police” are not relevant to the UK, on account of its “policing by consent” model and the assertion that it is untainted by a history of racial segregation. The findings in this paper debunk the notion of British exceptionalism in policing, demonstrating that calls to defund the police in the United States are just as relevant in the UK where repeated attempts to reform the police and tackle instit…

Countering Remotisation through Community-led Place-making
Taking the small coastal village of Collieston in Aberdeenshire as a case study, this paper explores how practices of “community-led place-making” and “commoning” – from social activities to community ownership projects – can enrich local democracy and counter processes of “remotisation” that often leave citizens feeling isolated and disempowered. Drawing on a series of in-depth qualitative interviews with local residents, councillors and represe…
The British Conservative Party’s drift to the right
The British Conservative Party has increasingly embraced a right-wing conspiracy theory according to which a host of unrelated actors are said to be working against the best interests of ordinary British people to advance a “woke” agenda that is left-wing, anti-Brexit, pro-immigration and unpatriotic. Some conservatives, namely former Prime Minister Boris Johnson, have even gone so far as to suggest that these forces form part of a “deep state”, …
The (academic) chair
In this paper we move from considering the chair as an (inanimate) object, to exploring its vitality through a more vibrant and active reading of this inescapable everyday item.We are inspired by feminist new materialism and how affect shapes our understanding of matter.Reading matter in this way surfaces our orientations toward everyday items that show embodied practices of mattering.This, in turn, shines light on how we imbue objects with meani…
Bale, Tim, The Conservative Party After Brexit
Tim Bale’s latest analysis of the trials and tribulations of the Conservative Party constitutes a highly entertaining read, full of plots and intrigue, betrayal and backstabbing. Yet, as can be expected from this highly-respected Professor of British Politics at Queen May University of London, it also provides astute political analysis of the period of turmoil that the party has undergone since the 2016 referendum on Britain’s membership of the E…

The book is composed of four parts. The first part looks at the research process. It covers research strategies and designs, as well as ethics in business research and writing up business research. …
Seizing the Populist Moment
In the context of rising populism across the globe, penal populism has returned with a vengeance. However, somewhat paradoxically, this paper asks if the populist moment may be regarded as an opportunity rather than a threat when it comes to promoting less punitive solutions to the crime problem. This is a moment that appears to be marked by a strong desire for increased popular participation in politics, as exemplified by the gilets jaunes movem…
Public Services in the UK
This special edition of the French Journal of British Studies was prompted by the eruption of a number of scandals concerning private companies involved in the running of public services in the UK, notably the liquidation of Carillion in January 2018. Carillion was a multinational construction and facilities management services company based in Wolverhampton, employing 19,000 people in the UK alone. It was heavily involved in the provision of pub…
Rethinking Power
International audience
Post-Brexit nationalism
In the UK, nationalism has been gaining ground for some time, yet Brexit appears to have exacerbated these trends and given legitimation to the nationalist cause. ‘Taking back control’ from the EU was widely regarded as a means of reinforcing parliamentary sovereignty, notably over national borders, but also, importantly, of legitimising popular sovereignty, of giving a voice to those who often feel unrepresented by their political leaders. The i…

Vernacular mourning and corporate memorialization in framing the death of Steve Jobs
This article explores the role of vernacular mourning in framing the death of Apple co-founder and former chief executive Steve Jobs. Using the concept of heterotopia to explore the spatio-temporal power relations of contemporary organizational memorialization, we show how the construction of temporary shrines and visual imagery rendered spaces and objects temporarily sacred and maintained Jobs as an ongoing presence in the lives of consumer-beli…

Soft power and corporate imperialism
It is often suggested that Britain has lost its great power status since the fall of Empire. Yet, whilst its military and economic power has undoubtedly been weakened, it continues to exert power and influence and to promote national interests via the exercise of both hard and soft power. Far from representing a novel strategy, this simultaneous deployment of both forms of power may be considered as a continuation of the dual imperial strategy of…

The Elevation of Work
This paper seeks to establish the contours of the popular workplace spirituality discourse through analysis of academic and practitioner texts and accounts of organizational practice. We identify several themes, drawing attention to potential contradictions in the notions of meaning, measurement and community, which the discourse seeks to promote. In seeking to understand the means whereby it is embodied as a source of administrative power we dra…
From Outward Bound to Inward Bound’
This article seeks to identify the theoretical foundations and practical features of spiritual management development (SMD) through social movements which have enabled the diffusion of religious practices into secular life and led to the development of a more spiritualized psychology. Although similarities can be seen with outdoor management development, SMD is distinctive because it encourages subjects to search for meaning in their everyday wor…
Towards a critical spirituality of organization
In contrast to the current tide of literature which predominantly emphasizes the integrative potential of spirituality in the workplace, this article explores the possibility that spirituality can act as a force of resistance in relation to management through the development of a practice-based morality. It focuses on two historical cases where a synthesis between Christianity and Marxism provided the basis for challenging organizational practice…
The negotiation of a working role in organizational ethnography
This paper is an account based upon the author's ethnographic study involving two major companies within the chemical industry sector. Using examples from personal research experience, and drawing upon organizational ethnographies in the management domain, the processes of impression management which enable research access are explored. Through analysis of narrative voice within predominantly realist accounts, it is argued that 'confessional' dec…

Uncertainty in the study of belief
The study of religious and spiritual beliefs raises complex epistemological and methodological questions for interpretive social scientists concerning our ability to understand the everyday lifeworlds that belief-based communities inhabit. The primary focus of recent debates has been on the long-standing methodological insider/outsider dynamic, defined in terms of religious belief or affiliation, which intersects with other social categories such…
Organizational death
Death is an integral part of organizational life, not only in talk and symbolism but also in a very real physical sense. Despite numerous examples which illustrate the importance of organizational death as a meaning-making construct, scholars of organization have only rarely treated death as an explicit focus of study. Examples such as those above illustrate the pervasiveness of notions of death in constructing visions of an organization’s past i…
Sexual and Reproductive Health Services and HIV Testing
All over the world HIV has been stigmatised, making it difficult for people living with HIV to access testing, treatment, care and counselling or even to act on a diagnosis or get advice and treatment, for fear of being judged. Prejudice in society has also often been reflected and reproduced by health care providers. A human rights approach, which positively incorporates sexual and reproductive rights, rather than a restricted medical view, is t…
There is an alternative
This article seeks to sketch out alternatives to neoliberal penality by seeking to undermine the four institutional logics of neoliberalism as identified by Loïc Wacquant (2009). It begins by critically analysing the potential value of public criminology as an exit strategy, suggesting that whilst this approach has much value, popular versions of it are in fact rather limited on account of their exclusion of offenders themselves from the debate a…

Whose side are they on? Patterns of religious resource mobilization in British industrial mission
Not unlike the sociologist who seeks to study problems that have relevance to the world we live in, when members of religious movement organizations enter the secular world of work they may be confronted by competing perspectives held by different groups. They may also be viewed sceptically concerning the underlying purpose of their engagement, leading some to question whose side they are really on. This article analyses the historical and contem…

Das Weisse Band/The White Ribbon
Edited by Michael Haneke. , 2009, black and white 144 min, UK: 15 Haneke's cinematic masterwork depicts the North German village of Eichwald in the year leading up to World War I. This is a locked and airless society, immured by class hierarchies, poverty, brutal labour conditions, fanatical Protestantism, embedded misogyny and customary abuse—a strictly fixed, near-feudal culture of archetypes. Haneke focuses his eye on the asphyxiating strictur…

Effect of Down syndrome on the dimensions of dental crowns and tissues
Effect of Down syndrome on the dimensions of dental crowns and tissues
Abnormal growth in Down syndrome (DS) is reflected by variable reduction in size and simplification in form of many physical traits. This study aimed to compare the thickness of enamel and dentine in deciduous and permanent mandibular incisor teeth between DS and non-DS individuals and to clarify how these tissues contribute to altered tooth size in DS. Sample groups comprised 61 mandibular incisors (29 permanent and 32 deciduous) from DS individ…
The Social Time of Organizational Payment Systems
This article explores the relationships between time use and the social construction of meaning surrounding the operation of wage payment systems in three chemical industry organizations. It explores some of the ways that organizational time is subdivided and prioritized, and focuses on the way that patterns of payment for time contribute towards the formation of managerial and shop floor identities. These ideas are developed through the analysis…

Varieties of organizational soul
This article argues that the expression of religious beliefs within organizations, often made manifest through the notion of soul, provides insight into the ethics of organization in postsecular society. Using examples to illustrate the discursive representation of organizational soul in three US-based multinational companies, we argue that religious organizational beliefs must be located within cultural and material contexts of practice in order…
Sustainability and the Spiritual Work Ethic
Across cultures and eras, economic activity has always been closely tied to ideas relating to belief, as Weber (1930) famously argued in The Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism. Weber highlights the power of religious belief in shaping attitudes towards the pursuit and accumulation of wealth, suggesting that capitalism demanded a new ethic or ‘spirit’ in order to regulate life conduct and control relationships between people and the mat…
Ways of seeing organisational death
This article explores the role of the visual in the social construction of organisational memory. Using critical visual analysis I explore how employees of a large industrial organisation made sense of the impending closure of a productive site of symbolic significance. The power of images in this case arises from their role in enabling employees and community members to challenge the dominant visual narrative of the life of the organisation and …
