This essay examines constructions of gender in organizations through cultural material. The Swedish TV show Top Dog is analysed through a representation analysis. The research questions are about how the TV show produces or re-produces constructions of gender through gender patterns. The theory mainly used is organization theory with a gender perspective, which shows how cer-tain jobs are connected to gender, gender segregation within organizations and homosocial processes that create systems of power that oppress women. The results show that Top Dog is both reproducing already existing gender pat-terns, but also producing new patterns of gender. |
