Research Subjects/Research Subjections: Exploring the Ethics and Politics of Critical Research
反思批判管理研究中的伦理与政治问题,借助福柯的权力分析方法,通过访谈转录分析揭示研究过程中主从主体位置的微观构成。
I use this paper to reflect upon the ethics and politics of Critical Management Studies (CMS) research. I highlight a potential for problematic power relations in CMS and, drawing upon Foucault's (1976) `five methodological precautions' for analysing power, I explore these power relations as an effect of the micro-constitution of `subordinate' and `superior' subject positions within the research process. Through detailed analysis of a research interview transcript I illustrate how the researched's `subordinate' and researcher's `superior' subject positions may be constructed as an outcome of normal and well-intentioned CMS research.
