Studying talk-at-work: An analysis of the discursive processes of management coaching conversations
This chapter analyzes the discursive unfolding of interactions between a professional coach and a middle manager during a management coaching conversation, a specific form of talk-at-work.

Part-time work practicing resistance: The power of counter-arguments
Contributing to a Foucauldian perspective on ‘discursive resistance', this paper theorizes how part-time workers struggle to construct a valid position in the rhetorical interplay between norm-strengthening arguments and norm-contesting counterarguments. It is thereby suggested that both the reproductive and the subversive forces of resistance may very well coexist within the…

Strangely Familiar: The Uncanny and Unsiting Organizational Analysis
This paper focuses on the aesthetics of the uncanny to inquire into and perform affective sites of organizing that are imbued with feelings of uncertainty and uneasiness. We argue that the uncanny forms an ‘unconcept' that allows us to think and apprehend ‘white spaces' of organization not as new or other spaces but through a process of relating intensively with the…

Doing Masculinity and Professionality: Exploring the Intersectionalities of Gender and Professionalization in Early Childhood Education
Increasing men's presence in early childhood education is closely connected to expectations of as well increasing professionalization of the occupation. However, there is also a huge contradictory discourse constructing them as potentially dangerous, somehow suspicious or ill-motivated. Men are not only positioned by but also have to position themselves according to these…

With the growing importance of the cultural economy in many Western cities the experience of public space has become a focal point in the organization and planning of urban life.

The same and the other: Male childcare workers managing identity dissonance
As childcare workers, men are in a contested position. On the one hand, they are in danger of being depicted as the pedophile; on the other, they are expected to bring something new and innovative to the thus-far female-dominated field. These men are experiencing ‘identity dissonance' and have to find ways to manage and facilitate legitimate subject positions as both childcare…
