This book challenges traditional organizational theory, looking to
representations of work and organizations within popular culture
and the ways in which these institutions have also been
conceptualized and critiqued there. Through a series of essays,
Rhodes and Westwood examine popular culture as a compelling and
critical arena in which the complex and contradictory relations
that people have with the organizations in which they work are
played out. By articulating the knowledge in popular culture with
that in theory, they provide new avenues for understanding work
organizations as the dominant institutions in contemporary society.
Rhodes and Westwood provide a critical review of how organizations
are represented in various examples of contemporary popular
culture. The book demonstrates how popular culture can be read as
an embodiment of knowledge about organizations - often more
compelling than those common to theory - and explores the critical
potential of such knowledge and the way in which popular culture
can reflect on the spirit of resistance, carnivalisation and
rebellion.
