An ANTi-History about Transgender Inclusion in the Brazilian Labor Market

Abstract

The Critical Management Studies series covers topics from management style techniques, corporate culture and cross-cultural management to evaluation, organizational structure and management science and operations, drawing on a range of radical traditions that include feminism, critical theory, Marxism, postmodernism/poststructuralism, critical race theory, environmentalism, labor process theory, postcolonial theory, existentialism, and applied critical management studies.Books in this series aim to contribute to sociopolitical change, from authors who self-identify as critical management scholars, critical scholars of management, or those with practical experience in the field, encouraging us to rethink the fundamental relationships between working/organizing/managing and our sense of humanity.

The strange potential of ANTi-History: a reply to Reveley

“…The approach has been used to write the history of organizations (Durepos and Weatherbee, 2013; Myrick et al , 2013) as well as the history of management thought (McLaren et al , 2009; Mills et al , 2013, 2015). ANTi-History has been applied in gender research (Hartt et al , 2012, 2017; Mills and Helms Mills, 2018; Bettin and Mills, 2018; Luna, 2022), postcolonial research (Secord and Corrigan, 2017; Kivijärvi et al , 2019), micro-history (Humphreys and Haden, 2020; Mills, 2017; Novicevic et al , 2019; Deal, 2022), controversy (Tureta et al , 2021; Mills et al , 2022; Novicevic and Mills, 2019) and socio-materiality (Moura and Bispo, 2020). ANTi-History has been taken up by scholars internationally (Pfefferman, 2016; Quelha de Sá and Costa, 2019; Stutz, 2020; Bezerra and Ipiranga, 2021; Tureta et al , 2021), possibly because of its capacity to problematize and go beyond Western thought.…”
