Identity and space
Discourse perspectives
Gerlinde Mautner | WU Vienna
The aim of this chapter is to unpack the links between identity, space and discourse in organizational settings. Following a constructivist approach, the chapter first explores the nexus between space and discourse in general terms, before moving on to the more specific links between space and identity, both in the public domain and in organizations. With the conceptual background thus mapped out, the chapter then proceeds to present an exploratory case study involving a newly built university campus. Both during the building process and after the move, discourse could be seen to be the vehicle through which space was constructed, and struggles over identity and power carried out.
Keywords: organizational discourse, space and identity, power
