Call for Papers “Emotions and Work: Ideas in Progress”
International One-Day Conference December 15th, 2006 London School of
Economics, London, UK
Co-organised by CREW (Centre for Research into Emotion Work, Brunel
University, UK) and Philosophy of Management
The Event
This is an inaugural international conference run by The Centre for
Research into Emotion Work and by Philosophy of Management. We will
explore emotion and work from philosophically informed perspectives, to
explore and challenge assumptions in research and in practice.
We welcome contributions which address the following:
�� Reason, Rationality and Emotion: moving on from the ‘slave of the
passions’?
�� What are emotions at work and can they be institutionalised? The
interaction between conceptions of emotion at work and organisational
practices.
�� Commodification of Emotion: alienating, subjugating and affirming
affects among workers, clients, consumers and audiences.
�� Workplace Abuse, illegitimate feelings; intimate violence.
�� The identity and status of emotion workers; the sacred and the profane.
�� Outputs and Outcomes: the measurement or understanding of emotion
workers’ performance.
�� Management, Gender and Emotion Regimes: the construction and management
of emotion in the everyday order.
�� Emotion and the Management Curriculum.
�� Others; client complaints; the problematic boundaries of reasonable
expectation and expressivity; Fit and Proper Persons.
�� Unconditional Care as a principle in Faith-based action.
�� Autonomy and Heteronomy of emotions.
�� Emotion, Identity and Happiness.
We welcome contributions in any of the following forms:
�� Finished papers
�� Work in progress for feedback/debate

�� Poster sessions
�� Workshops
�� Translations (of materials originally published in a foreign language)
