Capital gains: Neurodivergence, workplace disclosure and storytelling
基于布迪厄社会空间理论，研究神经多样性员工如何在以神经常态为中心的组织场域中协商披露，并利用沃尔特·本雅明的叙事框架分析披露叙事如何帮助获取文化资本。
Using insights from Bourdieu’s theories of social space, this paper explores how neurodivergent workers negotiate disclosure in an organisational field that is centred around neuro-normativity. The paper draws on interview data from neurodivergent people in the UK workplace, exploring the relationship between the disclosure process and Bourdieu’s theories of capital. In addition, Walter Benjamin’s essay on storytelling is used as a methodological framework to explore how storytelling around disclosure can enable the acquisition of capital. The analysis emphasises the ways in which the telling and retelling of disclosure ‘stories’ create perceptions that allow for recognition of value and a related increase in the cultural capital of neurodivergent employees.
