ABSTRACT Solitude. in my office. Where to start, what to do, what to read, how to make sense of all of this? Decisions. directions. movement. If I stop pushing forward, soothe my breath, dive in slowly, where do I reach? The others around, merging, affecting. Choices: Will this path be a dead end? To proceed – to withdraw – to remain? Reach-searching out. to touch the others, to connect with their words. Reach-searching in. to get in touch, to connect with the sensuous body. All embodied.

ABSTRACTResearch concerning employees’ informal interactions in organizational life has shown many positive impacts for the company and the employees. However, there is reduced research concerning how a place for informal interactions emerges within organizations. To fulfill this objective, we relied on Lefebvre’s [1991 [1974]. The Production of Space. Oxford: Blackwell] philosophical approach and undertook a longitudinal single case study within the headquarters of a large bank. Despite all the managerial efforts to conceive and promote a space dedicated to informal interactions, another space that did not have any function in the original architectural project, emerged as a lived space in the sense of Lefebvre. From our study, we highlight two contributions. First, we show how a lived space emerges within an organization, through a mix of social practice, of everyday life rhythms, and of shared symbols. Second, we unveil a concrete manifestation of a counter-space in an organization, in the sense of Lefebvre’s theory.KEYWORDS: Lived spaceinformal interactionsLefebvresymbolic interactioncounter-space Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).

ABSTRACT You are scrolling through the results of your latest search for papers. You wade through the papers you’ve been planning to read for ages; papers you could put aside to read this summer; papers you say you’ve read but really haven’t; papers you’ve actually read … but don’t remember; when a paper catches your eye. You prepare to puzzle through the complex explanations of VERY IMPORTANT CONCEPTS and the (unfulfilled?) promise of a contribution to *the literature*. But as you start reading you are pleasantly surprised. The tone is almost jovial; the writing is fresh and accessible. But there seems to be an error; the paper is missing the discussion and conclusion. You try and track down the original paper but end up with a different one. You contact the journal and ask for a replacement, only to find yourself with a different paper again. Slowly, however, you are beginning to enjoy yourself. Each paper you read leads you on a different journey. A flurry of words, styles, genres, tones. And in all the papers is you: the reader, the writer, the text. * * * Inspired by If on a Winter’s Night a traveller by Italo Calvino this paper explores the intimate relationships between the reader, the writer, and the text. I interweave second person tales of a writer and a reader, trying to write a text across time and space, with reflections on the value of the concepts of the ‘implied author’ and ‘implied reader’ for writing differently in management and organisation studies. In particular, I give attention to an often overlooked, yet ever present, part of writing differently in organisation studies: the reader. I address the reader as someone who, like the writer, is actively produced through engagement with the text and the according political and aesthetic implications. Ultimately, I argue that it matters deeply how readers are positioned in texts and how the reader comes to understand themselves through the text for realising the potential of writing differently.

ABSTRACT How do Turkish female soldiers’ (TFS) relate to and manage their (in)visibility within the Turkish Armed Forces (TAF)? Guided by a social-constructionist approach and driven by a gendered perspective, we display the embeddedness of gender role expectations and TFS struggle for visibility within TAF and the wider social context. We explore TFS accounts displaying cultural and organizational practices inhibiting their visibility along with how they manage it. Our findings provide insight into the dynamics of social and organizational practices that impact women’s visibility and advance the understanding of how marginalized members in similar settings may relate, manage and navigate their careers in their daily organizational life elsewhere.

ABSTRACT Flexible work arrangements (FWAs) promise both emancipation and loss: freedom from workplace constraints also strips away protective work-life boundaries. To date, very little is understood about how flexible work shapes workplace imaginaries. Drawing on a sample of 44 managers from a Middle Eastern firm, we explore their evolving internal representations of the workplace and domestic space under (in)flexible conditions. Findings suggest that (in)flexible work arrangements fashion and amplify subjective, organizational, and gender-specific workplace imaginaries. While both genders in this study imagined the workplace as a site of ‘salvation,’ it became a haven from domestic labor for the women, while for the men it provided a crucial extension of individual managerial identity. Such distinctions provide glimpses into how (in)flexible scenarios influence and shape neoliberal workplace imaginaries that may sustain gendered career trajectories and the perpetuation of FWAs as a misleading panacea for individual freedom and happiness in the workplace.

ABSTRACT Employment conditions have been subject to far-reaching flexibilization and fragmentation in recent decades. One of the many ways to make labor flexibly available and cost-effective is to divide the working day using split shifts. In this qualitative study on the home care sector in Austria, we investigate the workers’ experiences of split shifts as example of fragmented work and unsocial working times. On an empirical level, the findings show that split shifts imply severe challenges for the workers. On a conceptual level, the research emphasizes the need to consider complex and subjective dimensions of time in researching working times. Our findings suggest that even seemingly clear delineations between work and non-work time are in fact fragile and ambivalent. In that sense, the interruption between the two shifts in split shift work is neither work nor real leisure.
