`This worthwhile collection gathers together a series of essays dealing with the representation of social organizations in the popular media...The quality of analysis in all the contributions to this volume is consistently high, and the material covered is extensive. The book will prove useful on media/cultural studies courses as well as those concentrating on the sociology of organizations' - European Journal of Communication
Representations in Hollywood movies, ethnographic and documentary films, children's literature and the popular and `quality' press replicate the power structures they supposedly describe and consequently help shape contemporary realities. This volume offers rich insights into the relations between culture, power and work. It goes beyond such purely ontological questions to show convincingly that a critical analysis of the relationship between popular culture and the nature of organizational life enhances our understanding of both.

The focus of the book is frequently the material largely undiscussed in "mainstream' organization theory, as popular culture offers more dramatic, more intense and more dynamic representations of organization than management texts. Consequently, where organization studies texts present rationality, organization and monolithic power relations, popular culture plays out sex, violence, emotion, power struggle, the personal consequences of success and failure, and disorganization upon its stage. Does popular culture present only an idealized, sensationalized view, then one irrelevant to the lived experiences of organizat. Nº de ref. del artículo: Batch-FM394-VG-9231
