“…They argue further that Whiteness and its conferment of privilege is normalized, even seen as ataken-for granted entity by those whose pedigree is White. Joining the fray, Hooks (1992); Dyer (1988) argue for Whiteness as an endeavor that was pursued and embraced aggressively in popular culture. This aggressive pursuit was designed to rearticulate, reengineer and promote individual and esprit de corps among those of the European and Anglo-Saxon descent, who perceive themselves as "sieged" by minorities and ethnic individuals.…”

“…Agar ignores the fact that World Fairs (like subsequent world wars) were occasions for promoting Western ideals of democracy and progress. Richard Dyer (1988) writes that "progress" is often naturalized as a logical path that is followed by White Westerners. At World Fairs, technological innovations from the West were exhibited alongside the "primitive" tools and people of Polynesia, Africa, and elsewhere for predominantly White audiences (see Shohat & Stam, 2002;Smith, 2004).…”

Abstract:The hero and phone-watch from Dick Tracy are evoked regularly in news and studies of cellphone use. This paper argues that the racial paradigm of White law enforcer and Dark law-breaker in the comic strip resonates in contemporary evocations and in discussions of cellphone use and crime. Representations of mobile communication and racialized criminality in Dick Tracy were inspired by the 1930s "war on crime" that intersected with wireless innovations and with lynching. This paper interprets that repeated evocation of the comic strip is a "perverse nostalgia" for an old-fashioned form of law and order premised on racialized violence and viewing. Keywords: Cultural analysisRésumé : Les études et nouvelles sur l'utilisation du téléphone cellulaire font souvent référence au détective de bande dessinée Dick Tracy et à sa montre téléphonique. Cet article soutient que les évocations et discussions contemporaines sur l'utilisation criminelle du cellulaire reflètent le paradigme racial du policier blanc et du malfaiteur noir évoqué dans la bande dessinée. C'est la « guerre contre le crime » des années 30 influencée par les innovations sans fil et le lynchage de l'époque qui a influencé comment cette bande dessinée représente la communication mobile et la criminalité raciale. Cet article soutient que l'évocation récurrente de Dick Tracy qui a lieu aujourd'hui démontre une « nostalgie perverse » pour une forme ancienne de maintien de l'ordre fondée sur une violence et une lecture raciales.

“…In his discussions of 'white hegemony', Richard Dyer (1988) has suggested that the valency and potency of the power of whiteness lies in its ability to project a seemingly natural, neutral, transcendental image, comprising the full diversity of human experiences. This universalism is clearly apparent in western' management theories' promise that its adoption would enable and induce a seemingly and entirely knowable and visible reality, where economic growth is both desirable and realizable.…”

'Globalizing' Management Theories: Knowledge, Ignorance and the Possibility of a Postcolonial Critique

In international management, the study of culture has rapidly become critically salient. Business and management consultants, academics and practitioners alike all claim that the development of cross-cultural skills is crucial in the new era of globalization. This, they claim, will enable managers to better manage the risks within a globalized economy and consequently, add to greater productive growth and increased competitiveness. This 'turn to culture' has generated diverse competency skills training programmes, units and writings dealing with cross-cultural skills in management. Whilst the call for greater cultural literacy in international business and management is welcome, many of these 'new' analyses tend towards the simplistic. This paper posits that international management knowledge is actively constructed by these experts and that in their representations of culture, the issue of power is neglected and/or glossed over. The paper therefore argues that to understand these cultural representations, it is necessary to locate these views within a discourse of truth and power. Via a contrapuntal reading of key critical international management texts, the paper seeks to challenge and provide a counterpoint to these views. In so doing, it aims to foster a more critical, reflexive, engaged and open management practice.l
