The author begins with a review of fictocriticism and the blurring of lines between genre and gender scholarship. The book follows a temporally fragmented structure of the past, present and future of parenthood in organisations. Integrating theories of masculinities and gendered hierarchies in organisations, the author uses critical discourse analysis of parental experiences to discuss the reproduction of patriarchal discourse. The dystopian fictocriticism narrative is grounded in empirical research with parents and highlights the structural and cultural barriers they face. The narrative concludes with the subversive potential of caring communities within organisations as a possible future to work towards.\u003c\/p\u003eThis book will be of interest to students and scholars in Gender Studies, Utopia\/Dystopia Studies, and Organization Studies.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mark Gatto\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3031154819\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783031154812\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Palgrave MacMillan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/14\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 129\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.72lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.27h x 5.83w x 0.38d","brand":"Mark Gatto","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48437231288575,"sku":"9783031154812","price":49.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_6f261fb4-3e4d-48e1-8bd2-80b3e0cb0c6d.jpg?v=1777160574","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/parents-at-work-mark-gatto-9783031154812","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
