| Abstract: | The study of organizational cultures has been dominated by an interpretative approach which has emphasized the production of culture at the expense of the creativity shown by the consumers of culture, organizational members. "Corporate culture" is distinguished from "workplace" or "organizational" cultures, and a number of other problems emerging within the literature are identified. It is argued, using concepts primarily of the work of Jacques Derrida , that a postmodern approach to organizational culture would recast the problems in terms of a revised conceptualization of subjectivity, and formulate culture as paradox, otherness, seduction, and discourse. |
