My charge is to review for you the relationship between postmodernism and organizational communication. I proceed by mapping this relationship as a convergence of several phenomena. I’ll construct and evaluate this map in six sections. First, I’ll examine the terms modernity and postmodernity as descriptors of the contemporary period characterized by dramatic changes in global politics, economics, and culture. These changes have also been described as postmodernism. Second, I’ll examine how these changes have shaped—and been shaped by—recent changes in postindustrial organizations. These developments have also been described as creating postmodern organizations. Third, I’ll review key assumptions and critical applications of postmodernism as an intellectual resource for theorizing and studying organizational communication. Fourth, I’ll review what are commonly noted as the strengths and weaknesses of this perspective. Fifth, I’ll discuss a specific case from my own research program. In this discussion, I’ll show how postmodern theory can help us to better understand communication in—and about—organizations that have produced nuclear weapons for the United States during the Cold War. Finally, I conclude this chapter with some questions for your own reflection. In an important sense, postmodernism invites you—and your fellow organizational members—to take over “writing” this chapter at that point.
