“…Figure 2). It has been well documented how 112 QROM 7,1 images of skin are replete with ideological meaning which can subtly institutionalise ideas about health, class, race and boundary (Farber, 2006;Schroeder and Borgerson, 2004). So what happens when skin is missing?…”

AbstractPurpose -The purpose of this paper is to discuss the ways in which Derridean deconstruction can be used for image research. Design/methodology/approach -Derridean concepts, mainly located in literary criticism, are adapted to image research. Findings -The paper presents four concepts of visual deconstruction: logocentric vision; close reading images; seeing the Other; and problematising not solutionising the image. Research limitations/implications -Many more aspects of Derridean deconstruction can be related to the economy of the image. Originality/value -Little work to date in management studies has considered how Derridean deconstruction can be used to investigate images.

“…The use of thread and fabric represents feminine aspects, while the use of the needle represents a tension between masculine and feminine elements [ 33 , 34 ]. In addition, the cloth can represent a skin sheath while the piercing and fusing action can express both the creation of a skin sheath and its vulnerability and fragility [ 35 , 36 ].…”

This phenomenological qualitative study explored the experiences of adolescent girls with emotional disorders from post-hospitalization boarding schools who embroidered in an art therapy open studio group. A Youth Participatory Action Research approach and the bioecological model were used to shed light on the therapeutic process of embroidery. Through a thematic analysis of the focus groups and interviews with 13 participants, we identified five themes specifically related to embroidery: (a) control versus release/freedom; (b) calmness that comes from the repetitive action and focus; (c) the experience of being exceptional versus conventional; (d) the “stitch through time” experience, which involves a dialogue with the past, present, and future through embroidery; and (e) the overt-latent layers of consciousness. The findings suggest that embroidery has therapeutic benefits for this population and supports psychological development. This study reveals that embroidery, whose threads are intricately embedded in society and culture, and may provide a unique and meaningful activity for young people in post-hospitalization boarding schools and enables a social and cultural exploration of self and community. Limitations of this study and recommendations for further research are also discussed.

“…Laps, and the capacity and role of the human body in expressive language (Sennet, 2008), support practices such as craft making that assist women in particular in identifying their place in this world (Johnson & Wilson, 2005). Skin, as a surface, is associated with external and internal fabric that is integral to feminine identities (Farber, 2006). The bodily surface and space of laps are similarly integral to femininity.…”

Endnotes 1 The term "wicked problem" was first coined by Horst Rittel, design theorist and professor of design methodology at the Ulm School of Design, Germany. Typically, these problems involve a cultural or social problem that is difficult or impossible to solve. Many designers and activist believe that the best way to tackle such issues, not necessarily to solve them, is with a collaborative or interdisciplinary approach. 2 Visual essays normally integrate image and text in a creative way to document, evaluate or reflect on art-based research, learning, activities or events or projects.
