    Abstract
    This paper demonstrates that organisations continue to be dominated by modernist managerial approaches to knowledge that lead to disembodied representations of daily life both in terms of identity politics and company practices and processes. Rejecting a 'scientific academic' mode of apprehension, I outline the benefits of utilising a postmodern cultural interpreter lens to more adequately describe everyday lived experience. The latter is identified as capable of naming the complex, embodied, dynamic, intricate, contradictory, ambiguous realm we inhabit in the organisation and shown to be productive for both employers and employees.This paper demonstrates that organisations continue to be dominated by modernist managerial approaches to knowledge that lead to disembodied representations of daily life both in terms of identity politics and company practices and processes.
