AbstractScholars of business and management studies have recently turned their attention to inequality, a key issue for business ethics given the role of private firms in transmitting—and potentially challenging—inequalities. However, this research is yet to examine inequality from a subaltern perspective. In this paper, we discuss the alleviation of inequalities in organizational and institutional contexts by drawing on the ideas of Dr. B. R. Ambedkar, a jurist, political leader and economist, and one of the unsung social theorists of the twentieth century. Specifically, we focus on Ambedkar’s critique of the Indian caste system, his outline of comprehensive reform, and prescription of representational politics to achieve equality. We contend that an Ambedkarite ethical manifesto of persuasion—focussed on state-led institutional reforms driven by the subaltern—can help management researchers reimagine issues of inequality and extend business ethics beyond organizational boundaries.

Ghostly Boundaries: Transnational Tensions and Adapting Animation in the Ghost In The Shell Franchise

Brian Ruh’s essay analyzes the representational politics in the Japanese-originated Ghost in the Shell franchise (1989-Present). Media franchises continue to struggle with representation, both in front of the camera (e.g., the marginalization of LGBTQ characters in franchise films) and behind it (e.g., a lack of female directors on franchise projects). As Ruh explains, Rupert Sanders’s 2017 American, live-action Ghost in the Shell adaptation sparked a controversy in representation after casting Scarlett Johansson in the lead role of Motoko Kusanagi.

Representational Politics

Caught between different structures of identity hierarchies, queer and trans Asian American experiences have been systematically erased, forgotten, or purposely buried; as such, their experiences have often been minimized. In this paper, we seek to reimagine personhood in psychology through the perspectives of queer and trans Asian American subjectivities. Beginning with a brief discussion on the impacts of coloniality on conventional conceptualizations of who counts as human, we then consider how this is taken up in psychology, especially for multiply marginalized folx. Moving beyond the possibilities of representational politics, we explore possible decolonial frameworks and alternative methodologies in psychology to center queer and trans Asian American personhoods and to see them as more than just research participants.

Representational Politics

This chapter provides ways of linking phenomenology, feminist analysis, embodiment in dance, and corporeal representational politics. It engages Iris Marion Young’s argument about “Throwing Like a Girl,” addressing the pervasive structure at the heart of the meaning of femininity: the “disabling” object/subject bind that throws woman out of agency, and into the image. Using Young, Simone de Beauvoir, and Maurice Merleau Ponty as historical touchstones, the chapter shows how this agency/object bracket is at work in disability representation, and how examples of contemporary dance practice can fruitfully destabilize this scene. Dancers discussed include Gerda Koenig, a German dance artist and choreographer of DIN A 13, and Bill Shannon, a US dance artist.
