Do you see what I see? Going beyond chronology by exploring images of age at work. Katrina Pritchard and Rebecca Whiting Paper presented at BPS conference, January 2013
The discursive construction of 'generations' discourse conference 19 july2012Katrina Pritchard
This document discusses the discursive construction of generations in work contexts. It analyzes how generations are constructed through various genres in media, including statistics, attributes, case stories, and visual images. These genres are used by different voices and experts to define generations based on birth cohorts and ascribe characteristics to create distinct categories. The document examines examples from blogs, newspapers, and other sources to illustrate how generations are established and differences between them are emphasized through these discursive practices.

This document summarizes research being conducted on analyzing stock photographs related to age and employment. The research collects stock photos from online sources and analyzes them to understand the aesthetic labor of the models and how different ages and employment statuses are represented. Researchers then use selected photos in focus groups and surveys to understand how people interpret and respond to the images. Responses are analyzed to gain insights into societal attitudes around age and work.
Pritchard and whiting gwo presentation 22 jun12 blog versionKatrina Pritchard
This document summarizes an academic research project that used web-based data collection methods to analyze discussions of age and gender in the context of work. Over 800 media items were collected over five months and analyzed using various qualitative approaches including conversation analysis, narrative analysis, and visual analysis. Key themes examined included the intersection of age and gender, aesthetic labor expectations, and media representations of older workers. Five images were selected from the data set and analyzed in detail to explore how age and gender are visually represented related to employment.
Weary Women - Pritchard & Whiting GWO Conference 2014 presentationRebecca_Whiting
This document summarizes research on representations of older women entrepreneurs in online news media. It discusses how older women face "double jeopardy" due to age and gender biases. Stock images of older women used in news articles generally depict them as worried and overwhelmed by domestic financial issues. Participant reactions to the images described the women as confused or concerned. The researchers note gendered and aged aspects of how older women entrepreneurs are portrayed compared to other stages of women's lives, questioning if these images undermine the idea of older women's entrepreneurship. The document outlines the researchers' archaeological and dialogical methods of analyzing the images and eliciting public responses.
The document discusses the role of technology stewards in online learning communities. It describes how technology stewards select and configure technologies to support community needs and practices. This involves addressing tensions between togetherness and separateness, interacting and publishing, and individual and group needs. Technology stewards also help enable learners to discover useful technologies, participate in communities and networks, develop their identity, find and create content, and participate meaningfully.

BCCON 2014 - Social Business: The irresistible force to overcome immovable ob...Stuart McIntyre
The presentation I delivered to the Business Connect event in Hamburg, Germany on 19th March 2014, discussing how to overcome reasonable individual objections to Social Business and Collaboration software solutions.
Online social media services enable people to share many aspects of their personal interests and passions with friends, acquaintances and strangers. We are investigating how the display of social media in a workplace context can improve relationships among collocated colleagues. We have designed, developed and deployed the Context, Content and Community Collage, which runs on large LCD touchscreen computers installed in eight locations throughout a research laboratory. This proactive display application senses nearby people via Bluetooth phones, and responds by incrementally adding photos associated with those people to an ambient collage shown on the screen. This paper describes the motivations, goals, design and impact of the system, highlighting the ways the system has increased interactions and improved personal relationships among coworkers at the deployment site. We also look at how the creation of a shared physical window into online media has affected the use of that media
Social Business: The Irresistible Force To Overcome Immovable ObjectionsStuart McIntyre
Presented at Social Connections VI in Prague, June 17th 2014, this is the latest version of my deck on overcoming users' objections to the use of Social Business solutions (aka collaboration systems, or Enterprise Social Networks). Enjoy!
"I'm too busy" "My work is confidential" "I'm never in the office" "My position depends on me being the only source of my knowledge" ...
We've all heard objections like these - reasons why key individuals cannot spare the time to share knowledge or to collaborate with others. Whatever the role, be it as executives, consultants, sales people or any other part of your organization, for social business to truly revolutionize your organization's culture and productivity, these objections must be overcome. In this session, you'll hear about driving adoption in organizations around the world. Find out how to make the benefits of social business irresistible for all your staff, no matter how immovable they might appear!
A Profile is the key a users' Connections identity, exploit it!Stuart McIntyre
The document discusses customizing user profiles in IBM Connections. It notes that profiles are the core feature and backbone for connecting users. While many features are available out of the box, real power comes from customizing profiles to suit the organization. The session will cover options for customizing profile attributes and fields to display important information from HR systems or social profiles. It will also discuss customizing profiles for different user types and share best practices from real implementations.
As health educators, the document discusses the importance of connecting people with information and resources both face-to-face and online. It explores how online tools can contribute to health initiatives and encourages nurturing practices that support networking and boundary spanning to access diverse sources of knowledge.
"Friendsters @ Work" - a presentation on the Context, Content & Community Collage proactive display application at the Emerging Tech SIG of the SDForum, 12 December 2007
The document summarizes Joe McCarthy's presentation about his research on proactive displays, which aim to bridge online social networks and shared physical spaces. It provides a brief history of McCarthy's work in this area over multiple generations of proactive display systems. It then describes McCarthy's most recent project, the Context, Content & Community Collage, which uses a large display to share coworkers' social media content in a workplace setting to potentially foster greater community.
Teaching 2.0 Learning & Leading in the Digital AgeMatthew Hayden
This document discusses the evolution of technology in education over time. It provides examples of criticisms of new technologies from different time periods, from the introduction of paper and pens to modern technologies like ballpoint pens, calculators, and computers. It also discusses how views change as new technologies become mainstream.
The document summarizes the agenda and key topics from a 2007 Social Information Architecture summit. It discusses how information architecture is being shaped by user actions on shared, semi-structured online environments. Recent trends like mass amateurization, collaboration and sharing are driving the need for social information architecture approaches that capture user actions, aggregate and display feedback to structure information.
This document discusses strategic communities of practice and how to develop and sustain them. It covers basic concepts like domain, community, and practice. It emphasizes the importance of understanding stakeholder perspectives, including sponsors, facilitators/leaders, and members. It also discusses roles within communities like facilitators, network weavers, and curators. Frameworks are presented for assessing community maturity and measuring value creation through outcomes like immediate, potential, applied, and realized value. The document provides guidance on factors to consider for strategic communities of practice.
The document discusses key trends and forces driving changes in libraries. It identifies trends affecting different types of libraries, including content fragmentation across different formats, beyond just text to various multimedia, and walled gardens created by proprietary platforms. It also discusses trends like learning object diversification, end user fragmentation across demographics, search fragmentation across tools, and technology fragmentation across devices. The document advocates recognizing these shifts and discusses recommendations for public libraries around ebooks, community roles, and partnerships. It also discusses opportunities for cooperation across consortia. The goal is to understand real pain points and evolve libraries around a grocery store model focused on user experiences.
Me, We and Everyone: navigating the spaces between individuals, groups and ne...Nancy Wright White
This document discusses how individuals, groups, and networks interact using technology. It explores the continuum between an individual's personal identity and interests and their participation in larger communities and networks. It suggests that technology allows people to be together in new ways, and encourages considering how to best support individuals, groups, and networks through practices like facilitating participation, cultivating relationships, and enabling content sharing.
A presentation about the fact that Learning and Development is broken. How we are all navel gazing, focused too much on benchmarking and best practice and not aware of the Cynefin framework. The solution is to go to the edge. There are three examples of "edges" here: Automattic as an example of distributed virtual teams really working, experimental academics finding out how to scale personalised education in Massive Open Online Courses and Mozilla coming up with Open Badges as an alternative to competency management. The story closes with the lean startup methodology as a way to set up your own experimentation.

This document discusses how learning is becoming more distributed and occurring across multiple contexts through social media and online networks. It explores the idea of "feral learning" that happens outside of traditional educational institutions. Badges are presented as a way to recognize and credential skills gained through informal learning experiences. The document suggests that universities may start to issue open badges to provide recognition for learning that occurs elsewhere, including skills gained through online activities, work experiences and peer learning. It also discusses how a badge system could help make learning outcomes and progress more visible for students and better support lifelong learning beyond traditional education models.
This document summarizes an academic research project on representations of age in the media. The project analyzes images and language related to age in online media sources using discourse analysis and other qualitative methods. Researchers have collected over 900 media sources and tweets to analyze how concepts like "young" and "old" are constructed. They have also examined stock photos of older individuals and conducted photo elicitation interviews to understand interpretations of images. The goal is to better understand social constructs of age and their implications through this emerging area of digital research.
1) The document outlines the agenda for an upcoming seminar on age at work, with morning and afternoon sessions.
2) The morning session will introduce voices and conversations from data collected about age at work from online sources, examining how people are discussed in relation to both age and work.
3) The afternoon session will address methodological challenges of e-research, including considerations around ethics, collaborative research, and analyzing visual data and copyright issues from their project tracking online discussions about age at work.

Weary women: Re-thinking retirement in the 21st century, Vienna 2013Rebecca_Whiting
This document summarizes a presentation given at the 6th WU Symposium on International Business Communication on reconstructing retirement in the 21st century. The presentation discusses how retirement is no longer viewed solely as withdrawing from paid work, but rather as a time that can involve various forms of working longer. It also examines the "double jeopardy" faced by older women at the intersection of age and gender biases. The presentation analyzes stock images of "Weary Women" pensioners in online news articles and discusses issues raised through archaeological analysis of the images and dialogical analysis via participant reactions in photo elicitation workshops. It concludes by presenting alternative constructions of images of older adults created in collaboration with participants in a separate research project.
This document discusses collecting and analyzing text and images from Web 2.0 sources to study how notions of age are socially constructed in relation to work. It addresses the benefits of "big data" from online sources and challenges around "small data" fragments. It also outlines the researchers' project on age and work, which collects different data types from sources over 150 days and analyzes them at micro, meso, and macro levels, and discusses challenges around data management, analysis, and ethical issues.
What Do Academics and Educators Do on Social Media and Networks? What Do Thei...George Veletsianos
A presentation to the Canadian Institute of Distance Education Research. In this talk I draw on empirical studies conducted by a number of researchers (including work by myself and Royce Kimmons) to examine academics’ and educators’ participation in networked spaces. These studies point to three significant findings: (a) increasingly open practices that question the traditions of academia, (b) personal-professional tensions in academic work, and (c) a framework of identity that contrasts sharply with our existing understanding of online identity. - See more at: http://www.veletsianos.com/#sthash.73brAcX2.dpuf
The document discusses how visual rhetoric can shape and convey identity. It provides numerous examples of how visual elements in texts, websites, interfaces, and other mediums communicate something about the author's identity and personality. The choices made in visual design send messages about the user or creator. Visual rhetoric is also seen as a way to establish authority and expertise in academic and professional contexts. Overall, the document argues that visual rhetoric plays a strong role in how we understand and project our own identities as well as perceive the identities of others.
Building a professional digital identity 2018Nic Fair
This document discusses building a professional digital identity and presence online. It emphasizes the importance of developing a consistent online identity across social media platforms and professional networks like LinkedIn and Academia.edu. It recommends growing one's network by connecting with relevant individuals and groups, managing the network by providing value and responding promptly, and activating the network by asking for help. Building an online presence can help with research impact, public engagement, teaching and learning, and career development. The document provides practical tips for using blogs and social media to communicate research and collaborate with others.

United Reformed Church: Digital Confidence with @drbexlBex Lewis
This document discusses using digital tools like social media for church ministry. It addresses why churches should use these tools, where they can be used (common platforms like Twitter, Facebook, YouTube), and when during the day posts should be made. It provides tips on what kind of content to share, who the target audience is, and how to develop policies around social media use. The overall message is that digital tools can help churches connect with more people and build a sense of community if used appropriately and guided by biblical values.
Building and maintaining your digital research profiletbirdcymru
Workshop shared with colleagues at School of Education Summer School, 27 June 2015. A digital research profile is what a researcher wants to share about herself and her work online, including some work which may be created online, and research which may be conducted online.
This document summarizes the learning portfolio assignment that Christine D'Onofrio implemented in her VISA 110: Introduction to Digital Visual Art course over two years. The initial goals of the assignment were to promote transformative learning, distinguish disciplinary methods, and cultivate student mindfulness of online self-representation. Based on student feedback, D'Onofrio realized she needed to refocus the assignment from a showcase portfolio to emphasize reflection on learning. She made changes like having students use the university platform and adding an assignment for students to generate research questions.
Amical 2013 wksp multimodal projects for 21st century learningHoda Mostafa
This document summarizes a workshop on using image and video annotations in teaching and learning. It provides objectives of introducing teaching with annotated media, showcasing examples using MediaThread and EdCanvas platforms, and brainstorming ways to use annotations and EdCanvas in courses. Examples are given of learning activities using annotated images and video, such as analyzing images in art history and composing digital essays. Pedagogical benefits include active engagement and developing skills in utilizing and citing multimedia sources. The workshop models hands-on experimentation with the tools and discussion of integrating them in classes.
Topics include:
Definition of design research.
Design thinking methods to inform the design process.
Discussion around what is design research.
Methodology and strategies to create a knowledge transfer and bridge the gaps between secondary and tertiary design education.
Visual Literacy for Libraries, a new book from Facet Publishing, will give you an understanding of how images fit into your critical practice and how you can advance student learning with your own visual literacy.
This document provides an overview of a research seminar on age and work. It discusses several topics:
1) Generations are socially constructed cohorts that shape values and attitudes. Debates often conflate generations with age groups and present differences as natural rather than constructed.
2) Discussions of the "missing million" unemployed youth and the "missing million" unemployed older workers position different age groups in competition over limited jobs and resources.
3) Visual analyses of online news and stock photos reveal gendered discourses of ageing, with older men typically depicted in command roles and younger women as the focus of attention.
The seminar explores how notions of age and age identities are constructed online
The document summarizes a paper about Cloudworks, a social networking tool for sharing learning designs. It was created to address challenges in getting teachers to share innovative teaching practices. The tool is based on principles of object-oriented social networking, where users are connected through shared "social objects" like designs. This approach aims to encourage user participation and contribution through a user-generated culture of sharing, as seen on sites like Flickr and YouTube. The document outlines the theoretical basis for considering learning designs as social objects and the framework used to guide Cloudworks' development.
PhD researchers are using social media in various ways to support their academic identities and activities. They engage in practices like updating their profiles, searching for relevant materials, networking to build collaborations, and disseminating their work. Their digital engagement can be conceptualized not through rigid typologies but rather as variations in orientations shaped by individual agency and contexts. Regarding digital identity, PhD researchers navigate disclosing or not disclosing information, weaving or splitting personal and professional identities, and emulating or distancing themselves from successful examples. They search for space in digital engagement by converging or choosing a drop-in approach, and manage their time through tinkering with strategies or fragmenting their engagement for individual or collective benefits.

It also includes overviews of Pritchard and Williams' theses and tips for writing a qualitative thesis. The goal is to help participants thinking about structuring and writing their own qualitative theses.
BBR Twilight Zone Session 1 Introduction to Ontology and EpistemologyKatrina Pritchard
This is the first session from the 'Twilight Zone' delivered by Dr Helen Williams and Prof. Katrina Pritchard as part of the Breaking Binaries Research Programme.
You can read more about these sessions on our blog: https://breakingbinariesresearch.wordpress.com/
This document discusses ageing in the workplace. It begins with introductions from Professor Katrina Pritchard of Swansea University and Dr. Cara Reed of Cardiff University. The document then covers various ways of understanding age, including chronological, biological, functional, and subjective definitions. It also discusses generational categories and how attitudes towards age can influence stereotypes, prejudice, and discrimination. Finally, it explores hot topics regarding ageing such as retirement trends and the experience of older women workers.
This document outlines three sub-projects that analyze gendered constructions of entrepreneurship across online spaces: 1) Mapping visual representations of entrepreneurial masculinities and femininities, 2) Unpacking representations of entrepreneurial advice online, and 3) Analyzing the journey of a popular female entrepreneurial image. The researchers trace images and texts across platforms to understand how entrepreneurship is gendered. They discuss challenges of reflexively analyzing online images and platforms, tracing as an ongoing process, and using a montage approach. The second sub-project analyzes entrepreneurial advice through a framework of critical public pedagogy and examines how advice shapes subjects according to capitalist norms in a gendered way. Preliminary findings suggest advice constructs entrepreneurship
This document discusses qualitative research methods for analyzing online text and images. It describes the author's journey across different methodological approaches in human resource management, identity and diversity, and entrepreneurship research. These have included digital methods like tracking online data and trawling websites, as well as visual analysis techniques. Challenges of online research are noted around data volume, authenticity, and publishing multimodal findings. Future developments may involve more socially distanced research and combining digital and traditional methods as data becomes more complex, ephemeral and multimodal.
This document discusses the need for new directions in qualitative research methods. It argues that traditional qualitative research has become formulaic and fails to address important issues like reification of data and lack of consideration of concepts like temporality and materiality. The document then explores potential new directions, including personal reflection on one's research, developing method guides, and using creative and digital methods. It provides an example research project that maps across digital spaces and combines visual and semiotic analysis. Finally, it stresses that doctoral researchers should challenge assumptions, experiment with different knowledge generation techniques, and focus on methodology.
This document provides an overview of a research project analyzing web-based images of entrepreneurs. It discusses using a Combined Visual Analysis methodology to examine images from Google Image searches and stock image libraries. The analysis involves categorizing images, analyzing composition, semiotics, gaze and gesture. Preliminary conclusions found themes of masculinity reinforced in male images but adopted in female images, with stock images predominating. Challenges discussed include volume of data, platformization, and ethics. Key advice is to explore visual representations, notice stock image use, discuss ethics, and contribute seriously while having fun.
This document discusses generational stereotypes about young and older workers. It notes that while "young" and "old" are constructed categories in the labor market used to exclude workers, both groups face similar means and measures of exclusion based on chronological age. The document also examines how generations are defined but debates the evidence for lasting differences between birth cohorts. It concludes by calling for future research to better understand stereotypes, intersectional experiences, age as a competition, and the impact of COVID-19 across age groups.
This document provides an introduction to a keynote presentation about reimagining research in a digital age. It discusses how conducting research essentially involves extracting and abstracting meaning from data. When research moves online, issues like authenticity, hybridity, multimodality, temporality and sociomateriality must be critically engaged with. There are also practical challenges to consider regarding research ethics, skills, resources, and managing mixed methods. The document provides resources for conducting qualitative research on various digital platforms and methods.
Part of the British Academy of Management Research Methods SIG 'Sharing our Struggles' series.
The increased use of the Internet, social media and other virtual sites for discussing and accomplishing work and organization raises both new possibilities and new challenges for conducting organizational research. We have the opportunity to view work in a different way, to access the previously inaccessible and to gain insight into virtual organization through the utilisation of on-line research methods but we still know very little about how we might effectively and usefully do this. In this workshop speakers will discuss their own specific experiences of on-line research, revealing both their successes and the issues that arise.

The project aims to take an inclusive and discursive approach to conceptualizing age at work by mapping language used around age in various media sources and conversations. Over a 12-month period, the researchers will analyze data from online sources to develop new understandings of how discussions of age are evolving. They will apply these findings to broader constructions of age in the workplace and disseminate results through ongoing engagement with stakeholders.
This document summarizes a presentation given by Katrina Pritchard and Rebecca Whiting on their e-research project. It discusses what e-research is, outlines their approach which included collecting data through alerts and tracking online conversations, and discusses some of the practical and ethical challenges they faced such as managing large amounts of digitally generated data and blurred boundaries between primary and secondary data. Key emergent ideas from their project included tracking online conversations and re-thinking relationships with research participants in an online context.

3. Age at Work project
E-research project to map the language of age
at work using English language Web 2.0 media
Inclusive approach:
„older‟ and „younger‟
Employment and unemployment
Initial
12 month project funded by the Richard
Benjamin Trust; ongoing research partially
supported by BEI school grant
http://ageatwork.wordpress.com
4. What’s interesting?
Age is an important concept and category within
employment, retirement and education/training
policies
„Young‟ and „old‟ are constructed as mutually
exclusive in the labour market but there are
similarities in the means (e.g. regulatory) and
measures (e.g. chronological age) of exclusion
The failure of the diversity approach to deliver
equality has led to a call to re-think dimensions of
difference such as age from a critical perspective
(Zanoni et al., 2010)
http://ageatwork.wordpress.com
5. Discursive approach
Discourses are made up of language use
through
talk and text
other semiotic activity e.g. visual images
Discourse = standardised ways of referring
to / constituting a certain kind of
phenomena
Discourse analysis = method of identifying
discourses and the processes of their
construction
http://ageatwork.wordpress.com
6. What this means for age
Challenge assumptions about „age‟; even the most
„natural‟ of objects can be shown to be a social
product
Age and concepts like „younger‟ and „older‟ are
historically and culturally relative, dependent on
social, economic and political arrangements
Knowledge of age is sustained by social processes i.e.
the everyday interactions between people as they
engage in meaning-making activities
Knowledge of age we create is bound up with the
actions we take since it invites particular ways of
behaving and being
http://ageatwork.wordpress.com
7. What is e-research?
“research
not just
about the
Internet but
also on it
and through
it and
constituted
within it”
(Hine, 2005,
p. 205)
http://ageatwork.wordpress.com
8. What is e-research?
Using digital tools to:
Locate and access research resources
Discover, access, integrate and analyse data
Facilitate sharing and collaboration
http://ageatwork.wordpress.com
9. What is e-research?
Digitallymediated interactions with research
participants at varying degrees of distance
Complex relationships between collection and
dissemination due to overlapping „digital
footprints‟
Blurred boundaries between notions of
„primary‟ and „secondary‟ data though
variants are broadly defined by different data
types
http://ageatwork.wordpress.com
10. Relevance?
E-research offers the potential to:
unpack and explore what we might previously have
labelled „context‟ or ignored
look at interactions between organizations and/or the
ways in which organizations engage with others via
the internet
examine the ways in which individuals (including
employees, customers etc.) engage with different
organizations
“media spectacle” (Tan, 2011): follow stories as they
„unfold‟ across various different media
http://ageatwork.wordpress.com
11. Practicalities
150 days of alerts („sweeps‟ of Web 2.0 data) from
English language sources
Around 6 relevant items from google/nexis per day giving
approximately 900 sources which include text, images,
video items.
Around 50 relevant tweets from twilert per day giving
approximately 7750 tweets
Additional data via following, signing up to newsletters,
following links etc. from the alerts
Text and images cut and paste into NVivo

14. Aesthetic labour
Builds on concept of emotional labour
Importance of being “„good looking‟ or simply
having the „right look‟” Warhurst & Nickson (2009,
p. 386) within “an image-driven economy”
(Hancock and Tyler, 2007)
Witz et al (2003). “The kinds of embodied
dispositions that acquire an exchange value are
not equally distributed socially but fractured by
class, gender, age and racialised positions or
locations” (p41)
Commodification and utilisation by organizations
and institutions
http://ageatwork.wordpress.com
15. Stock images
“cultural text[s]“ (Milestone and Meyer, 2012)
Library pictures sold via commercial agencies for
use in print and digital media
Both production and consumption relevant
within a conceptual framework of aesthetic
labour:
Aesthetic labour of the models in producing the
images
Aesthetic representation of different images of
(un)employment is consumed

16. Analysing Visual Images
Davison(2010): Analysis of portraits
Physical attributes, dress, physical artefacts, and
interpersonal representations
Rose (2012):
subject positions, absences, contradictions,
similarities/differences with other images,
persuasiveness, complexities
Sample: Identified images within the data set to
produce a sample of 120, further iterations distilled
15 images for detailed analysis, of which 4 are
discussed here
Purchased rights to these photographs
http://ageatwork.wordpress.com
17. Photo elicitation
“themeaning of images is not fixed, but dynamic
and open to continual interpretation as part of an
ongoing circuit of communication” (Bell and
Davison, 2012)
Photo-elicitation
originated in the 1950s, basis in
psychology and anthropology
May be used in group or individual contexts, the
photo becomes a „presence‟ within the research
setting
Danger of assuming this offers more „rounded‟ or
complete interaction, rather offers a different type
of prompt from the more traditional verbal

Aesthetic Labour:Broader interest in ‘the aesthetics’ of work plus building on the notion of ‘emotional labour’ to capture idea that employers sought to gain organizational benefit from the deployment of particular bodies: “workers with corporeal capacities and attributes that favourably appeal to the senses of the customers and which are then organizationally mobilized, developed and commodified through training, management and regulation to produce an embodied style of service.” P388 Warhurst and Nickson 2009).Beyond ‘impression management’Research interest in both ‘labour’ and ‘labouring’ (by individual employees or particular groups (studies of models for example). Majority of research within the service industry – hotels and catering – benefits to the organization from managing the staff/customer interaction to the smallest detail. But also research on Models (this is interesting from our perspective because many of the images we will go on to discuss are posed by models – so we are trying to disentangle different layers of aesthetics labour here.As with other discussions of diversity – age is overlooked:Particular focus on gender given the predominance of female employment in the service work sector and previous discussions re gendering of “soft skills” associated with these roles Wissinger (2012) looks at the management of ‘race’ within modelling and the impact of attempts to ‘erase’ ethnicity within the modelling industry.Witz et al ”gendered and sexualised dimensions” to aesthetic labour2009 GWO special issue on aesthetic labour – looked at issues of masculinityHall, R., & van den Broek, D. (2012) – argue that Aesthetic Labour is segmented, such that organizations may adopt different approaches based on their understandings of what is ‘needed’ for the local market – its is a means of branding. THUS very different from our approach as we are looking at web based data which tends to try to ‘speak’ to generic understandings to maximise the chance of getting the attention of an audience (NEED A REF from something on comms studies to support this?)
Has visual research been used elsewhere in the study of aesthetic labour? It appears that studies to date have largely been survey/interview or a combination within a case studySomething on the ‘layers’ of analysis here:Analysis of the visual image in term of representations of work- Aesthetic labour of the models and the selling of ‘stock’ images – images taken by professional photographers, models release their rights, photos are ‘sold’ via agencies who act as brokers with the media (taking fee of around 40%)Think we need to ensure we are not seem as trivialising conceptual underpinnings of aesthetic labourBroader aesthetics of the internet more broadly?http://www.copyrightservice.co.uk/copyright/p27_work_of_others“Fairdealing” : research and instructionCan show but not distribute copies
Textual context Article headline: Age discrimination 'rooted' in society, Government finds. Old age officially begins when people reach the age of 54 and youth ends when people turn 32, a Government survey has found.Photo caption (visible): According to the DWP’s research, one in three people have experienced some form of prejudice in the last year because of their age.Photo tag (usually embedded): teamRhetorical codes Physical (physical attributes incl. what is shown, attractiveness, stature, bodily condition): 4 figures are shown around a table in an office setting; all are attractive, neatly dressed and groomed. The women have long glossy hair. The men are clean shaven. The younger workers are slim; the older man a little sturdier in build.Dress (clothing, accessories, hairstyles): All 4 are informally and similarly attired in shirts but whereas the younger workers are wearing coloured shirts, the older man’s is white (implying a more conventional dress code). Otherwise their similarity and style of dress suggests a lack of hierarchy and/or a ‘creative’ work setting rather than conventional ‘suited and booted’ workplace. The younger workers all have dark hair, the older man has grey hair.Spatial (physical artefacts, space, props, furniture, hierarchy, devices that reflect eg mirrors and PC screens, symbols, location settings, associations): A very light and airy modern office setting, lots of glass, white walls and light furniture. It is a contemporary office with a potted plant to match. There are the usual office props (folders and files) but in the background. In the foreground is a large table with a plan and a folder on it. All 4 figures are touching the plan (to different extents) but suggesting some joint enterprise. The figures make a pyramid shape with the highest point of the pyramid and the right hand slop represented by the older male figure; the left hand slope is represented by the heads of the 3 younger workers. The older male figure is in a dominant position through the physical space that he occupies. Interpersonal (body language, movement, pose, expressions, gaze, eye contact, gesture, inter-relationship with others): The older man’s physical dominance is reinforced by his forward posture, his sturdier physique, the placement of both his hands on the table and his head on gaze/stare at the young woman who is seated (at whom the others are also looking). No one is looking at the plan. The three younger workers are smiling; the older man has a more serious expression (implying more responsibility / seniority). The seated woman is therefore the visual focus of the attention of the other figures (also suggesting importance). The 4 are physically quite close to each other, implying closeness of relationship/enterprise?Other What subject positions are created? Younger worker; older worker. The female worker; the male worker/boss. What is absent (that you might expect to see)? No older woman. What is different from other depictions of same ‘object / subject’? Although it is illustrating an article about age stereotypes and discrimination, it shows a multi-age team working in apparent harmony.What is the same as in other depictions of same ‘object / subject’? The older worker is represented by an older man.How does the image work to persuade (ie how does it produce its truth claims, scientific certainty or the natural way of things etc)? It reifies the idea of age and gender differences and the notion that different ages and genders represent (aspects of) diversity within a team. It (possibly) reinforces the idea that older age and seniority are aligned. Does the image dissent from a dominant discourse? It dissents from the discourse of conflict or competition between different generations.Does it contain any internal contradictions? NoDoes it display complexity within a discourse? There is some complexity with regard to the extent to which a hierarchy is represented within the team. Image 6:Does he look a bit like Robert Kilroy Silk?not sure how you have categorised the woman in the Blue shirt? I have her as older than the two sitting down but not as okd as the man? younger gen are equal (same colour shirts though different tones, sat close together, hands similar placement.) - older woman is not equal with older man (off to side), she is also the only one not touching the plan.have ‘seen’ the second woman in the photo (the one in the blue shirt) as being of different ages is precisely because of the need for women to look younger, in terms of colouring hair, minimising wrinkles, staying slim, fashionably dressed etc so. So when viewed at a glance or a distance older women look much like their younger counterparts for longer than men look like theirs. (Until they both become beige!)Probably this is very obvious but this ‘agelessness’ in this context only just occurred to me.
