Sexuality in organizations

Abstract

Purpose – This article aims to examine the theme of “sexuality in organizations” according to the theory of eroticism of Georges Bataille (1897-1962). Design/methodology/approach – The author reviewed Bataille’s essays in order to identify the salient points of his analysis of eroticism, before applying them to the organizations. Findings – The anthropologic notions of prohibition and transgression (antagonistic yet complementary) facilitate a different view of the opposition formulated in critical management studies as between desexualization and resexualization. These notions also open up quite a number of lines of research in the analysis of the sexuality of organizations. Research limitations/implications – These lines of research call for further work particularly in the basic ground work. Originality/value – Georges Bataille’s insights have been used very rarely in organizational analysis, even those of critical stream in management. The theme of sexuality in organizations has been largely ignored by mainstream.
