The post-Cartesian ‘material turn’ in management and organization studies understands that bodies are far more than vehicles that enable work to be undertaken, but are agentive actors in the constitution of work and working selves. This leads to the need for more empirically-derived understanding of the agency of flesh in the performative corporealization of working, embodied selves. We met this challenge through adapting feminist, posthuman research methods for a study of the materialities and materialization of working bodies. The study takes forward Judith Butler’s and Karen Barad’s theories of performativity by reading them through each other, and introducing flesh as an agentive actor in each moment-to-moment move. In paying close attention to the speech of supposedly ‘dumb flesh’ we show how flesh resists its negation and itself imposes control on the worker. We coin the term ‘body/flesh’ and illuminate how bodies are active and agentive, constituting corporeal/izing working selves in somewhat unexpected ways.

表达:体现的物质:果肉和工作身体/自我

后笛卡尔在管理和组织研究中的“实质性转变”理解到,机构远不止是能够开展工作的工具,而是在工作和工作自我构成中的代理人。这导致需要对工作中体现出来的自我进行有效的物质化,从经验上更深入地理解肉体的作用。我们通过采用女权主义的,后人类的研究方法来研究工作机构的重要性和物化来应对这一挑战。这项研究通过互相阅读,并在每时每刻的动作中引入肉体作为代理人的行为,来推进朱迪思·巴特勒和卡伦·巴拉德的表演理论。在密切关注所谓“哑肉”的演讲时,我们展示了肉是如何抵抗其否定性的,并将自身强加于工人身上。我们创造了“身体/肉体”一词,并阐明了身体是如何活跃和活跃的,以某种意想不到的方式构成了有形/有形的工作自我。
