    Trans chronicles in the Italian workplace

    No full text
    This chapter delves into the Italian context concerning transgender individuals within the workplace. We commence by reading a significant event involving our Prime Minister, Giorgia Meloni, providing insight into the contemporary political right-wing climate in Italy. Proceeding from this, we navigate through the landscape of Italian legislation related to transgender individuals. Subsequently, we explore key thematic lines in contemporary organizational literature that scrutinize the professional experiences of transgender individuals. The narrative then unfolds with a comprehensive examination of Nicola's story, mirroring the challenges faced by transgender people in Italy. The chapter concludes in the identification of recommended practices and actions that (Italian) companies should embrace to combat discrimination against transgender individuals and foster their overall well-being

    Nomads, Thresholds, and Leaves: Queer Entanglements Within the AcademicConferenceMachine

    No full text
    This paper presents the mise en espace of an anti‐dramaliturgy written for the Conference “Salute e Benessere delle Persone Transgender e Gender Diverse: Buone Prassi e Nuove Prospettive [Wellbeing of Transgender and Gender Diverse People: Good Practices and New Perspectives]”. By providing an example of conferencing differently, the paper depicts an elliptical (round)table that questions normative assumptions on gender and sexuality and established practices of academic knowledge production and dissemination. It does so, along the edge of antibinarism, in three ways. Firstly, there is the choice of an elliptical (round)table that is polycentric: it broadens the point of view from the margins. Secondly, our writing sought to favor embodied questioning and dialog over the structured speech report typical of conferences, and the third way is inherent to the genre of theatrical writing related to the mise en espace format, which enables us to ask questions about the relationship between our bodies, broader materiality, and the dominant norms of academic and gendered practices. The intertwining of these elements makes our queering the AcademicConferenceMachine, which is an invitation to recognize the political performativity and imaginative possibilities of any (academic) encounter

    Post Author/Ship: Five or More IKEA Customers in Search of an Author

    © 2016, © The Author(s) 2016. In this article, imposters’ (or fake authors) aim is to problematize fixed concepts such as author, authoring, and authorship both in qualitative research and in organization studies—especially in relation to organizational communications that ostensibly promote and value diversity of (sexual) identity. In seeking to do so, these imposters engage with an IKEA ad and, in a process of “prospective” writing, inductively explore the absence or void of an author through a series of writing events

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    Full text link
    The present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
