    [NT 15000229] null: American workers over the past half-century have found themselves steeped in management discourses promoting teamwork, synergy, vision, anda host of other concepts meant to inspire an ever deeper commitment towork. The Culture of Soft Work offers an original examination of American writers' responses to these motivational techniques through readings of postmodern novels and a diverse range of other canonical and popular texts. Building on the work of scholars who have investigated the cultural impact of Frederick W. Taylor's management theory, this study isthe first to examine how post-Taylorist management has shaped Americans; subjectivity and their art. Hicks ably demonstrates that while Taylor hardened work by stamping it with the masculine imprimatur of science, subsequent management theorists reconceived work as soft, emphasizingits emotional, spiritual, and irrational aspects ; a transformation that has redefined work as postmodern and retooled the gendered subjectivity ofAmerican workers.
