Books by Paul du Gay

A long-awaited second edition of this classic cultural studies textbook. A seminal text brought right up to date for a new generation of students and teachers.

Like many other popular academic terms, 'identity' has been asked to do so much work that it has often ended up doing none at all and, as a consequence, there has been a recent turn away from identity work. In this book, the author moves identity theory in a new direction.

A study of institutions, management, ethics and contemporary society.

Examines how contemporary rhetorics and discourses of organizational change are breaking down such distinctions - with significant implications for the construction of subjectivities and identities at work. This title shows how the capacities and predispositions required of consumers and employees are increasingly difficult to distinguish.
