Recognizing the human: A psychoanalytic engagement with HRM and its discontents

Introduction

‘It is joy to be hidden but disaster not to be found’

Donald Winnicott, Communicating and not communicating

The images of Marx’s alienated proletarian, Weber’s disenchanted bureaucrat, or Foucault’s biopolitical subject are now so etched in the mind to render a practical engagement with HRM impossible. Best to abandon the enterprise altogether.
