Gender and Entrepreneurship: An ethnographic approach, 2005

Entrepreneurial action can be related to gender for a cross-reading of how gender and entrepreneurship are culturally produced and reproduced in social practices.
This groundbreaking new study considers both gender and entrepreneurship as symbolic forms, looking at their diverse patterns and social representation. Presenting an ethnographic study of the gender structuring of entrepreneurship, the work employs three strategies:
• a critical survey of gender studies which argues that entrepreneurship is a cultural model of masculinity that obstructs the expression of other models
• ‘reflexive’ ethnographic observations conducted in five small firms describe how business cultures are ‘gendered’ and how gender is the product of situated practices
• an analysis of how discursive and narrative practices in business cultures constitute gender and entrepreneurship.

organizing has been widely adopted in recent years, yet its
theoretical and methodological systematization has only just
begun. Silvia Gherardi expertly provides an overview on the
topics and issues addressed by practice-based studies. By means of a series of examples
drawn from the best-known analyses using this approach, the book provides methodological
guidance on how to conduct empirical research on practices, and how to interpret them from
three perspectives: practices ‘from outside’, practices ‘from inside’, and the social effects
produced by practices.
The distinctive trait of the present book is the presentation of the classic studies that gave
rise to practice-based studies and through their analysis the illustration of their problems and
methods is presented. Masters students, doctoral students and scholars will find plenty of
invaluable information in this methodological book. In relation to a lively and wide-ranging
debate conducted at the international level, but not yet systematized in its methodological
assumptions, the book will also be of interest to those practitioners curious about a view of
work as a practical activity which develops within an ecology of social, economic and material
relationships.
