The question of legitimacy is therefore relevant for coworking spaces. We investigate their spatial practices through Lefebvre’s spatial triad, and how they affect their organizational legitimacy, in order to establish whether these practices support the values promoted by coworking organizations. Based on an ethno-architectural survey, interviews and an analysis of their websites, we focus on two main values promoted by the collaborative spaces we investigated: alternative modes of governance and sustainability. We found that their spatial practices did not fully align with these values. We introduce the concept of spatial legitimacy, and our ethno-architectural survey contributes in methodological terms to the analysis of spatial practices in the field of organizational studies.KEYWORDS: Spatial practicesSpatial legitimacyCoworking spacesEthno-architectural survey Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Notes1 https://wiki.coworking.org/w/page/67817489/The%20Values%20of%20Open%20Coworking (July 2021).2 https://lesgrandsvoisins.org/les-grands-voisins/gouvernance/ [viewed on November 15, 2020].3 http://91.121.3.209/altercartonew/site0/index0.html#art_PR-Adhesion [viewed on November 15, 2020].4 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PechaKucha5 https://thecamp.fr/fr/a-propos [viewed on November 9, 2020].6 https://woma.fr/lassociation/le-projet-woma/ [viewed on November 9, 2020].7 https://lesgrandsvoisins.org/la-vie-du-site-2/eco-responsabilite/ [viewed on November 15, 2020].8 http://91.121.3.209/altercartonew/site0/index0.html#art_PR-Que%20fait%20altercarto [viewed on November 15, 2020].9 https://www.ledonut-marseille.com/notre-approche [viewed on November 15, 2020].10 https://thecamp.fr/fr/document/rapport-developpement-durable-2018, p. 17.

This article makes an original contribution to workplace bullying scholarship through its focus on ‘moralistic’ bullying. The United Kingdom (UK) public sector has undergone significant changes propelled by neoliberal marketisation over four decades, purportedly to enhance competitiveness, financial accountability, and efficiency. These reforms coincide with a reported increase in public sector workplace bullying. Inspired by Gramsci’s [Gramsci, A. 1971. Selections from the Prison Notebooks, Translated by Q. Hoare, and G. N. Smith. London: Lawrence and Wishart. (Orig. pub. 1947.)] concept of hegemony, we adopt a neo-Gramscian analysis of ‘moralistic’ bullying in this context. Drawing from a study of 25 self-identifying bullied targets in UK public sector organisations, we illustrate how moralistic bullying is legitimised through organisational processes propelled by market rationalities and financial imperatives. Our contribution highlights how moralistic bullying is legitimised inconspicuously amidst hegemonic conditions of neoliberal marketisation.","PeriodicalId":10824,"journal":{"name":"Culture and Organization","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136033306","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The paper articulates how the pained body – which in this case is understood as the black body – emerges in an oppressive environment. This paper considers prison letters and artwork as redefinition, redress, and reconfiguration of the pained body. The core of this discussion is founded on how Fatima Meer steals away through her writing and artwork while she is imprisoned. These actions constitute self-affirmation over oppression which essentially exemplifies how Saidiya Hartman expresses stealing away as a concept. It is through acts of stealing away that Meer experiences embodied writing, which is about bringing the finely textured experiences of the body to the art of writing. In so doing the pained experiences of the body [Meer] are reclaimed from oppression through writing, drawing and painting.KEYWORDS: Artworksresistancestealing awayprisonpainwriting Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Notes1 This piece of legislation served to declare the Communist Party of South Africa to be an unlawful organisation; to make provision for declaring other organisations promoting communistic activities to be unlawful and to prohibit certain periodical or other publications; to prohibit certain communistic activities; and to make provision for other incidental matters (Union of South Africa Citation1950)2 The African National Congress (ANC) is, at the time of writing, the governing party in South Africa, and has been in power since the transition to democracy in April 1994.

Although the Act's stated purpose was to facilitate the government's fight against ‘terrorists’, the police used the law to pursue and prosecute various organisations and individuals who resisted state control (South African History Online, Citation25 May Citation2021).5 Ismail Meer was Fatima Meer's husband, a prominent lawyer and anti-apartheid activist.6 Sibongile Kubeka was one of the detainees arrested and held in solitary confinement under section 6 of the Terrorism Act (Meer Citation2001).7 Cecily Palmer was one of the ","PeriodicalId":10824,"journal":{"name":"Culture and Organization","volume":"55 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135385704","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We conducted interviews with 44 owners or founders of co-working spaces. A thematic analysis revealed three different approaches to co-working, namely a profit-oriented perspective, a community-oriented perspective and a hybrid pattern that combines both perspectives. Drawing upon the interaction models, our findings contribute to a better understanding of different Co-working cultures in an increasingly competitive market.

Drawing on rich qualitative we contribute to making clearer how differences in work conditions are associated with different types of demands on emotional labour at the workplace. We aim to answer; what kind of emotional labour do casualised and tenured staff do? For each group, we identify patterns of EL relating to the temporality of a fixed term contract with varying demands on EL in the beginning, middle and towards the end of a contract. Identifying this pattern constitutes the main empirical contribution of the study.
