Guest Editors’ Introduction: On the Limits of Disciplinarity: Literature, Medicine, Religion Kelly L. Bezio (bio) and Ashley Reed (bio) “A man burdened with a secret,” observes the narrator of The Scarlet Letter, “should especially avoid the intimacy of his physician.”1 Good advice, we might think, if only the world in which we lived could be easily divided into tidy, sacrosanct categories—one domain for our doctors, another for our shameful secrets, and yet another for our good books about the foibles and frailties of the human condition. But we all know (as did Nathaniel Hawthorne in 1850) that no such separation exists. One of the things we continue to value about The Scarlet Letter is the way in which it artfully reveals how, when it comes to dealing with a personal predicament, we are apt to draw on the resources of our clergy, our caregivers, and our wordsmiths. As the scarlet “A” on Hester Prynne’s bodice implies, with its simultaneous significations of adulterous misconduct, angelic ministrations to the ill, and an American mythology, we inhabit a world made of inevitable intimacies amongst our various ways of knowing. In this special issue, our contributors examine precisely those moments when individuals resolve a specific, immediate crisis of knowledge by turning to the fields of literature, medicine, and religion simultaneously. By drawing our attention to the interdependencies of these three fields, this issue brings into focus an acute problem for disciplinary scholarship: its lingering dependency on the one-for-one substitution narratives naturalized by the secularization thesis.2 To be sure, in recent years the secularization premise—the idea that religion has lost its prominent place in post-Enlightenment public life—has come under fire. Critics deem too crude the notion that science or, in the humanistic version, literature supersedes religion as a site of authority and experience.3 [End Page 240] Modern secular life, we have come to realize, remains deeply religious: individuals and communities retain religious identifications even when (and sometimes because) “religion is cast as modernity’s ‘other.’”4 Nevertheless, even the multi-disciplinary subfields that make such problematizing possible tend toward the dyadic thinking of secularization: literature and medicine, medicine and religion, religion and literature. But these academic pair bonds rarely tell the whole story about an event or idea. If we are looking for the “oyster-like irritability” that Catherine Belling put forward as a condition for this journal in her inaugural foreword as editor, then we can find in a triangulated approach among literature, medicine, and religion the “grit” that gives rise to new, productive ways of conducting research.5 A challenge, certainly, because of how our own institutions prime us to see the literary, the medical, and the religious as terms describing fields with mutually exclusive norms and practices. To train within the disciplined academy (even one increasingly invested in interdisciplinarity) still means that one emerges with a dominant professional identity. A doctor, a writer, a minister—these are all distinct vocations. Their professional trajectories may tread the same paths at times (think of Columbia University’s Program in Narrative Medicine, for instance), but in general we expect our doctors to tell us what’s wrong physically, our writers to tell us what it means existentially, and our spiritual leaders to tell us how it points to a cosmic plan. Specialization, it often seems—and we know this well, whether we train as scholars or as practitioners—offers the only path to any “really definitive and good accomplishment,” as Max Weber trenchantly observed nearly a century ago.6 That is, in theory, taking responsibility for a small parcel of knowledge and leaving the rest to an army of similarly trained professionals supposedly works best. Abundantly evident in this theme issue, however, is the fact that in practice experts regularly confront the insufficiency of their specialized knowledge in the face of exigent circumstances that demand a response, whether or not secularized disciplinarity can provide it. Take for instance crises of medical knowledge. David B. Morris delves into his experience at the bedside of his wife in “Medical Eros: Caregivers, Loss, and an Ethics of Waiting.” He asks how we should deal with a disease like...

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to discuss how “the visual” might be conceptualised more broadly as a useful development of qualitative methodologies for organizational research. The paper introduces the articles that form the basis of this special issue ofQROM, including a review of related studies that discuss the analysis of organizational visuals, as well as extant literature that develops a methodological agenda for visual organizational researchers.Design/methodology/approachThe Guest Editors’ conceptual arguments are advanced through a literature review approach.FindingsThe Guest Editors conclude that studying “the visual” holds great potential for qualitative organizational researchers and show how this field is fast developing around a number of interesting image‐based issues in organizational life.Research limitations/implicationsA future research agenda is articulated and the special issue that this paper introduces is intended to serve as a “showcase” and inspiration for qualitative researchers in organizations and management studies.Originality/valueThis issue ofQROMis the first collection of visual research articles addressing business and management research. The Guest Editors’ introduction to it seeks to frame its contents in contemporary interdisciplinary debates drawn from the wider social sciences and the arts.

Guest Editors' IntroductionPalimpsests in the Life and Work of Octavia E. Butler Moya Bailey (bio) and Ayana A. H. Jamieson (bio) Award winning author Octavia E. Butler crafted a life as unique as any of her stories. Regarded as the grand dame of Afrofuturism, Butler is also the first science fiction writer to be awarded a MacArthur "Genius" Grant for her fiction and nonfiction writing.1 Born in 1947 in Pasadena, California, June 22, 2017 would have been her seventieth birthday. As one of the first recognizable black feminist science fiction writers to date, Butler had an illustrious career despite lackluster grades in primary school. She set her intention to become a writer at an early age and worked diligently to propel herself forward. She developed a process that she called "positive obsession" and wrote every day to advance her craft.2 She wrote at least sixteen novels (including a few that have never been published), short stories, and essays, and is heralded as one of the most influential black speculative fiction writers in the world. This special issue of Palimpsest celebrates her life and legacy by introducing and bringing to the fore scholarly work that is inspired by her science fiction. Palimpsest was the obvious choice for this special issue as the palimpsest is an implicit theme in Butler's work. Palimpsest describes the traces of previously erased writing that show through in the newest versions of the work. We see this practice in Butler's writing with historical texts, concepts, and conventions bleeding through to the present and into the future through time travel, genetic ancestry, and muscle memory. Stranger Than Fiction: Palimpsestic Memorialization in the Life and Writing of Octavia E. Butler We examine the threads and traces from Butler's real life to their expression on the pages of her novels and other writings. Moya has called this palimpsestic memorialization, a process of reconstituting personal history into a fantastic [End Page v] multivalent narrative that can be abstracted and safely shared. We utilize our shared explorations into Butler's self-curated archive at the Huntington Library and the way it reveals her talent for weaving real life into fiction and memory into archetype. Likewise, the physical circumambulation of geopolitical locations in Pasadena, Los Angeles, and Southern California in Butler's life and writing also constitute the necessity for a palimpsestuous investigation of her life and work as inextricable from one another. To that end, Ayana has employed the term palimpsestuous to signify ways that Butler's life and work are palimpsestic and incestuous in relationship to and with one another and with collective history.3 In this current iteration of our overlapping collaboration, we use both terms to mirror, support, and amplify one another and palimpsestuous memorialization emerges. Her stories are strange and sometimes do have the requisite aliens and other worlds one might expect from speculative fiction or fantasy. But more often than not, her work concerns itself with the human problem, with the ways that humans' dual nature as both intelligent and hierarchical beings dooms them/us to destruction in an infinite number of ways. She explores biological, epidemiological, divine, alien, and human interventions into our most harmful and persistent patterns of behavior. It is, however, through Butler's own life that we see the author herself as very much embroiled in these questions of humanity. How does she navigate the differences between herself, her classmates, and family? How does she negotiate the very real impact of hierarchies of race and gender that inform how she is treated in society on a daily basis? We've explored the ways that Octavia Butler, as a theorist in praxis, struggles with these concerns as we make connections between her written work and her lived experiences. In the eight thousand-plus items in the Octavia E. Butler Collection of manuscripts housed at the Huntington Library, it appears that Butler kept everything.4 Not only are her own notes, journals, diaries, letters, and other ephemera catalogued therein, but also the photocopies of greeting cards, letters and other correspondence she typed out or handwrote to other...
