“…Social organizations are shaped by and actively transform the way we collectively think about race and racial categories (Omi & Winant, 2015). This process, known as racial formation , has been studied in institutions as varied as prisons, hospitals and schools and among a variety of different ethnic groups in the United States (Berger, 2010; HoSang, LaBennett, & Pulido, 2012; Morning, 2001). Omi and Winant (2015) identify racial projects as an integral part of the racial formation process.…”

are under pressure to represent the ethno-racial diversity of their student bodies in the most favorable light via their websites. We analyzed the race/ethnicity tables and figures featured prominently on the websites of 158 colleges and universities. We found 3 practices that institutions undertake to enhance the appearance of diversity on campus: omission, aggregation, and addition of ethno-racial categories. Universities with the lowest levels of student diversity were the most likely to engage in these practices. We understand these practices to be organizational-level racial projects (Omi & Winant, 2015). That is, universities are actively transforming "the content and importance of racial categories" (p. 61).

“…The article further argues that those carceral security practices are key technologies of gendered and sexualized race-making in this era of ‘post-racial triumph’ (HoSang and LaBennett, 2012: 5). As discussed, carceral technologies of security do not simply discipline the individual body, but produce and regulate populations by producing interlocking (non)normative classed national, racial, gender and sexual social formations and the differential distribution of vulnerability and security.…”

“…As will be the focus of this article, locating the use of torture and other seemingly valueless carceral security practices within the genealogies of anti-Black violence points to their fundamental role in the production of the larger biopolitical order and its underpinning processes of de/valuing populations. Importantly, the so-called torture memos and concomitant carceral practices are not only shaped by the gendered racial–sexual logics of slave laws, but constitute a key site and technology of gendered and sexualized race-making in this era of ‘post-racial triumph’ (HoSang and LaBennett, 2012: 5).…”

Beyond the erotics of Orientalism: Lawfare, torture and the racial–sexual grammars of legitimate suffering

Contrary to commonsense understandings of torture as a form of information-gathering, confessions elicited through the use of torture produce notoriously unreliable data, and most interrogation experts oppose it as a result. With a focus on the US carceral regime in the War on Terror, this article explores the social relations and structures of feelings that make torture and other seemingly ineffective and absurd carceral practices possible and desirable as technologies of security. While much of international relations scholarship has focused on the ways in which affective and material economies of Orientalism are central to representations of the ‘terrorist’ threat, this article connects the carceral violences in the racialized lawfare against Muslimified people and spaces to the capture and enslavement of Africans and the concomitant production of the figure of the Black body as the site of enslaveability and openness to gratuitous violence. The article further explores how these carceral security practices are not simply rooted in racial–sexual logics of Blackness, but themselves constitute key sites and technologies of gendered and sexualized race-making in this era of ‘post-racial triumph’ (HoSang and LaBennett, 2012: 5).

“…Critiques to this marginalization among feminist perspectives have rightfully led to more intersectional approaches to Feminism (see Yuval-Davis, 1998; and the development of discourses around specifi c categories of oppression -for instance, in Black Feminism and Queer Feminism. Critical race and decolonizing scholars have explored the historical formation and development of race and its relationship with white supremacy (see Moraga and Anzald ú a, 1983 ;Hall, 1997 ;Bhabha, 1994 ;Mohanty, 2003 ;DuBois, 2005;HoSang et al, 2012 ). Despite this rich intellectual history, management and organization studies remain broadly disengaged from these debates ( Nkomo, 1992 ).…”

Ilaria Boncori is Professor in Management and Marketing at the University of Essex (UK). Her current research is concerned with the articulation of inequality in organizations, and particularly regarding experiences located at the intersections of gender, race, foreignness and sexual orientation. She is a critical management scholar and a qualitative researcher with a strong interest in the exploration of embodied and aff ective dynamics in the workplace, investigated mainly through ethnographic and narrative methods.BUP Copyright Material: Individual use only. Not for resale.vi I would also like to qualify my use of the term 'Feminism', although I will discuss this more in detail in Part I of this book. My acception of the term Feminism is not exclusively inclusive to women and their rights, but it has a strong focus on them. When I speak about women, I do not just refer to those who were assigned a biologically female gender at birth: I speak about all women. My understanding of Feminism is intersectional across categories of being and being seen. These categories include but are not restricted to race, sexual orientation, disability, class and nationality. Although I could use the plural term 'feminisms' instead, I have chosen to adopt 'Feminism' as a collective uncountable noun that includes the nuances of meaning mentioned above and diff erent schools of thought or strands of feminism. As an advocate for feminist perspectives, I pride myself in calling myself a Feminist, although I am not claiming to be a 'typical' one (is there even such a person?) or a representative for all feminist scholars in the fi eld of management and organization studies. This book, however, is fi rmly rooted in feminist values and care-ful approaches to researching and inhabiting academia.Also, it is important to explain that in using the adjectives masculine and feminine, I do not merely refer to biological diff erences between people. Instead, I use these throughout this book in their broader sense referring to behaviour, approaches and sociocultural understandings traditionally associated with men or women. Although my studies in what was called 'oriental languages and cultures' over two decades ago have opened up a myriad of meanings and understandings of the word 'masculine' from diff erent sociocultural perspectives, my use of 'masculine' and its counterpart in this book is deeply aff ected by my original European roots and centred around white Western patriarchal contexts. As such, these two adjectives are not used to reinforce a binary view of gender identity, but to question such traditional perspectives in a broader sense.Other interconnected and contested terms such as equality, equity, diversity and inclusion are used in diff erent ways across diff erent fi elds of research, national contexts and languages. The word 'equality' can be understood as referring exclusively to the feminist agenda of providing equal opportunities to everyone through the provision of equal treatment within a given system, which often links to ...
