The purpose of this book is to reimagine the concept of culture,
both as an analytical category and disciplinary practice of
dominance, marginalization and exclusion. For decades culture has
been perceived as a 'hot topic'. It has been written about and
deployed as part of 'a search for excellence'; as a tool through
which to categorise, rank, motivate and mould individuals; as a
part of an attempt to align individual and corporate goals; as a
driver of organizational change, and; as a servant of profit
maximisation. The women writers presented in this book offer a
different take on culture: they offer useful disruptions to
mainstream conceptions of culture. Joanne Martin and Mary Douglas
provide multi-dimensional holistic accounts of social relations
that point up similarity and difference. Rather than offering
totalising or prescriptive models, each author considers the
complex, polyphonic and processual nature of culture(s) while
challenging us to acknowledge and work with ambiguity, fluidity and
disruption. In this spirit writings of Judi Marshall, Arlie
Hochschild, Kathy Ferguson, Luce Irigaray and Donna Haraway are
employed to disrupt extant management cultures that lionise the
masculine and marginalise the concerns, perspectives and
contributions of women and the diversity of women. These writers
bring bodies, emotions, difference, resistance and politics back to
the centre stage of organizational theory and practice. They open
us up to the possibility of cultures suffused with multifarious
potentiality rather than homogeneity and faux certainty. As such,
they offer new ways of understanding and performing culture in
management and organization. This book will be relevant to students
and researchers across business and management, organizational
studies, critical management studies, gender studies and sociology.
