Cis women's bodies at work: co‐modification and (in)visibility in organization and management studies and menopause at work scholarship
回顾了顺性别女性在职场中的身体自我规训研究,比较组织管理学的“身体转向”与更年期工作文献,发现两者重叠极少,并基于共同商品化概念提炼出身体塑造、不披露、失败及抵抗等主题,呼吁更重视更年期议题。
Abstract This paper reviews research on cis women's bodily self‐discipline in the workplace. We compare literature exemplifying the ‘bodily turn’ in organization and management studies to scholarship on menopause at work, to identify key themes across these oeuvres and the significance of the blind spots in each. There is little overlap between them: only eleven organization and management studies publications dealt with menopause. In classifying these literatures using Forbes’ (2009) concept of co‐modification, we distil four themes: bodily moulding; non‐disclosure; failing; and resistance, redefinition and reclamation. Based on this, we argue for more substantive considerations of menopause in organization and management studies, and suggest what the organization and management literature has to offer its sister scholarship. For example, we foreground how menopause exacerbates the visibility paradox facing female workers which organization and management studies identifies; and argue that menopause at work scholarship should pay more attention to specific bodily accommodations, refusals and the ‘unscripted’ aspects of menopause in organizations.
