The Way

This journal’s editorial statement is clear that political discourse should be studied not only as regards parliamentary type politics. In this introduction we argue precisely for the need to pay increasing attention to the way that political ideologies are infused into culture more widely, in entertainments media, software, administrative processes, children’s apps, healthcare and even office furniture design. We point to the way that there have been massive shifts away from traditional state forms of politics to the rule of neoliberalism and the power of the corporation which, like the former regime of power, requires meanings and identities which can hold them in place. We explain the processes by which critical multimodal discourse analysis can best draw out this ideology as it is realized through different semiotics resources.

Abstract This article examines the ways in which gendered bodies and gendered ideas about labour were built into American office furniture by way of human factors from the 1960s through the early 1990s. Using an analysis of chairs and desks, including their forms and technical dimensions, the author argues that executive and secretarial furniture, in particular, encoded exaggerated and idealized gendered bodies in their design and excluded bodies that did not fit the expected gendered norms. The persistence of this convention, even in the design of ergonomic chairs which first appeared in the 1970s, reproduced sexism in organizational hierarchy and inscribed in furniture gendered assumptions of labour and gendered ideals of leadership.
