Our knowledge and understanding of organizations is both enabled
and constrained by an invisible relationship of power that is
embedded in the ways in which we act and speak. This book offers a
succinct but comprehensive introduction to the vast field of
organizational discourse analysis, the approach that studies
organization as a linguistic phenomenon, and offers an original
approach to investigate the relationship between materiality and
discourse. Three original images of discourse are employed:
discourse as a map, discourse as organizing and discourse as a
mask. These metaphors are used as cognitive tools to highlight
different implications and perspectives on discourse. The book
critically compares and contrasts various linguistic-focused
approaches to the study of organizations, and proposes the use of
linguistic phenomena in connection with other methodologies. One
section even offers an exemplification of the proposed approach to
discourse analysis, presenting a map of discursive terrain, which
plays a central role in the reproduction of local organizational
and management discourses. This rich and approachable introduction
is targeted at graduate and doctoral students, as well as
non-specialist academics who want to familiarize themselves with
the organizational discourse debate.
