- This paper takes up the self-construction of the social roles of Polish IT professionals. Weconducted an ethnographic study and observed that many of our interviewees defined theirroles by negation and by invoking the internal and often hermetic aspects of theirprofession. Labeling this practice “holding up the shield,” we trace its archetypical roots.The recurrent use of this practice makes a change in agency in the process of constructingthe role possible, to the benefit of the IT professionals.

Negotiating selves: Gender at work
- 2013

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This paper suggests that the framing of gender production in workplaces is a negotiation with varying results. The basis for this frame is a combination of the notions of "positioning" (the discoursive production of selves, as suggested by Davies and Harré, 1990), "doing gender" (gender as an accomplishment, an achieved property of situated conduct: West and Zimmerman, 1987), "negotiation of identities" (which takes place when positioning is contested: Pavlenko and Blackledge, 2004) and "coercive gendering" (ascribing gender to people through discriminatory action: Czarniawska, 2006). A distinction is made between a self-positioning and an attributive positioning; the focus is on their interplay. Using examples from the field, the paper then reviews varying outcomes of such negotiations in workplaces. Although the examples concern gender, the same frame can be successively applied to various instances of intersectionality.
