“…For the purposes to this paper, we draw on Fleetwood (2015), who develops the CRS lexicon in a way that facilitate the further disaggregation of fields and field elements. He suggests fields can be explored in terms of their their respective social structures, organisations, mechanisms, and institutions, each of which is explored in the following.…”

“…Social structures are ‘latticeworks of internal relations between entities [agents/agencies] that may enable and constrain (but do not determine) the plans and actions of agents who reproduce and/or transform these relations’ (Fleetwood, 2015: 95–97). We use this concept to refer to types of relations between specific types of agent, such as those of employers and workers, teachers and pupils, sub-cultures, races, genders and classes, which often interact as they transcend fields (namely, laminated systems).…”

“…Mechanisms may be within organizations, such as human resources ‘architectures’ (see Lepak and Snell, 1999), or between them, as specifically constituted inter-organizational relations (see Vincent, 2005). More generally, and for the purposes of this article, they are ‘systematic configurations’ (Fleetwood, 2015: 97) of agents, enacting institutions (norms, rites, customs, habits etc.) in relations with other entities (people, artefacts, materials, organizations etc.)…”

“…that condition the emergence of ‘higher-level’ field elements (mechanisms, organizations, social structures). Further, institutions often become habituated and rooted in the nervous system – that is, as tacit, subconscious, affective (Fleetwood, 2015) – so they also correspond to the ‘structuring’ or subconscious aspects of habitus .…”

“…In relation to the properties of the economic field (i), we found CRS categories (Fleetwood, 2015) useful for deconstructing the regional field studied in terms of its constituent parts – henceforth field elements . We then assess these field elements in terms of the resources (forms of capital, Bourdieu, 1986) that the respondents embodied, used, accessed, transformed and exchanged in their relations within field elements.…”

This paper combines theoretical resources from Bourdieusian and critical realist scholarship to explore qualitative data about the networking practices of 25 self-employed and entrepreneurial human resource consultants. The analysis, which concentrates on a regional economic field in the UK, assesses (i) how the field was structured to support entrepreneurial careers (socio-economic structure) and (ii) how these consultants differentially enacted and experienced relations within this field (entrepreneurial agency). Concepts taken from critical realism are used to deconstruct the field in terms of its constituent parts, or field elements, and concepts taken from Bourdieu are used to reconstruct these parts in terms of their resources and local agential struggles. Field elements were also analysed in terms of their (critical realist) institutions and (Bourdieusian) doxa, and in terms of (Bourdieusian) habitus and (critical realist) reflexive imperatives. We argue that the form of analysis which develops, which we call Realist Bourdieusian Analysis, reveals more about the causal properties of the field than forms of analyses that are limited to the Bourdieusian lexicon, and so additions from critical realism enrich our understanding of fields and, agents' relations and experiences within the field. More specifically, the analysis reveals a field constituted of a complex normative geography, which consultants navigate through reflexive struggles in relation to a range of field elements with which they were engaged. The analysis concludes by highlighting the practical, theoretical, methodological contributions of this research.

Grounding Employability in Both Agency and Collective Identity: An Emancipatory Agenda for Higher Education

Rethinking Graduate Employability in Context

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Debates on graduate employability are presently dominated by a focus on labour market outcomes that are framed on an individualistic basis. Such a focus is evident not only when attention falls on the skills and experience of individual graduates, but also when analysis highlights the impact of social differences on individual positioning in the labour market. This chapter presents the argument that work itself is determined in fundamental ways on collective considerations. It argues, furthermore, that if graduate employability were to be understood as the capacity of a graduate to exercise agency in ways that contribute to collective agendas within workplaces, then there would be enhanced potential for universities and workplaces to address challenges that matter to society, including those that relate to such concerns as decent work, sustainability and equity. In considering the nature of contributions to collective agendas, the account explores how collective identity underpins both primary and corporate agency within workplaces, drawing on the realist social theory of Margaret Archer.

Compatibility and complementarity between institutional and post-Keynesian economics: a literature review with a particular focus on methodology

2023

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The objective of this article is to carry out a review of the links between institutional and post-Keynesian economics, in order to raise the possible compatibility and even complementarity between the two branches of economic thought. To this end, we first review the question of compatibility from the perspective of institutional economics and then from the post-keynesian standpoint. Next, methodological issues are addressed by presenting the essential elements that characterize post-keynesian and institutional methodology (and internal debates in this regard) and then by describing the areas of compatibility between the two. The final section presents the main conclusions and summarizes the basic elements that could constitute a theoretical framework of synthesis between institutional and post-keynesian economics.
