Storytelling Scholarship:

The 21st annual conference of sc’MOI (The Standing Conference for Management and Organizational Inquiry) is now accepting papers on organizational storytelling that include going beyond sensemaking and social constructivism to ontological approaches to storytelling with materiality. How to unite narrative and the antenarrative perspectives, with autoethnography, embodiment, critical pedagogy, organizational (post critical) ethnography, discourse analysis, environmental ‘green’ story, historicality, and cross-cultural places (Being-in-the-world)?

Placing Words
Skillful use of language can move us emotionally or to action. Language can describe; it can entertain; and, more importantly, language can do things in the world. Yet, language, no matter how skillfully deployed, often never quite captures our meanings or effects the changes in the world we may wish it could. Through the use of poetic narrative, the author seeks to evoke the beauty, the dynamism, and the limitations of language.
"I Know I'm Unlovable": Desperation, Dislocation, Despair, and Discourse on the Academic Job Hunt
Failure, according to the academic canonical narrative, is anything other than a tenure-track professorship. The academic job hunt is fraught with unknowns: a time of fear, hope, and despair. This personal narrative follows the author’s three-year journey from doctoral candidate, to visiting assistant professor, to the unemployment line. Using a layered account and through a Foucauldian lens the author examines the academic success narrative, delving into the emotional bipolarity during the job search, and the use technologies of the self. It concludes with a reexamination of academic discourses and the canonical narrative of academic success as well as an appeal to continue to do good work.
Theorizing financialization
The crisis of 2007–9 has cast fresh light on the ascendancy of finance in recent years, a process that is often described as financialization. The concept of financialisation has emerged within Marxist political economy in an effort to relate booming finance to poorly performing production. Yet, there is no general agreement on what it means, as is shown in this article through a selective review of economic and sociological literature. The article puts forth an analysis of financialization that draws on classical Marxism while remaining mindful of the recent crisis. Financialization represents a systemic transformation of mature capitalist economies with three interrelated features. First, large corporations rely less on banks and have acquired financial capacities; second, banks have shifted their activities toward mediating in open financial markets and transacting with households; third, households have become increasingly involved in the operations of finance. The sources of capitalist profit have also changed accordingly.
Falling back into Gender? Men's Narratives and Practices around First-time Fatherhood
This article explores men’s articulations and practices of gender through transition to first-time fatherhood. Using qualitative longitudinal data, men’s antenatal intentions and postnatal practices are explored in this study which replicates earlier research on motherhood. The contemporary context in the UK is one where paternity leave, discourses of caring masculinities and more public displays of fathering involvement appear to offer new possibilities for men. But data analysis shows that whilst opportunities to disrupt gender norms are initially imagined, longer term practices can confirm ‘patriarchal habits’. The findings illuminate gender being done and undone, at times simultaneously, as the exhaustion and hard work of new parenting is encountered. A retreat into normative behaviours can be a path of least resistance as experiences unfold in an arena where men are found to have available to them a wider repertoire of discursive storylines. Optimistically, some changes in fathering involvement are discernible.
The Social Structure of the Liquid Self: Exploratory Lessons from Israeli Flight Attendants
This paper provides an empirical investigation of Israeli flight attendants in order to characterize the structural underpinnings of the liquid self, and their resultant phenomenological consequences on personal morality, conceptions of self and interpersonal relations. The study touched upon the motivations and behaviours of flight attendants, how they juggle family and personal commitments, and the internal persona they adopt vis-à-vis their own selves. By contextualizing their narratives through the structural elements of their jobs, the study exposes the attendants’ ambivalent and incoherent lives and the complex ways in which they manage their social networks across place and time. While flight attendants evince chameleon-like selves and fluid morality in their interpersonal relations – taking advantage of their ability to stage different selves in different ports of life – they maintain their multiple selves in functioning ways.

Whenever we look at people as objects, there is a distortion. Check out "Leadership and Self Deception" by the Arbinger Institute.
