Overview

"Bringing together prominent scholars from a variety of disciplines, ""Communicative Practices in Workplaces and the Professions: Cultural Perspectives on the Regulation of Discourse and Organizations"" offers readers an engaging set of essays on the complicated relationship between discourse and the many institutions within which people act. Each author brings a unique theoretical perspective to conceptualizing how discourse is regulated and how it regulates when human activity is organized for such purposes as work or belonging to a profession. Together, the contributors to this collection offer a provocatively complex picture of what regulation means and the means of regulation."
