@article { , title = {The “Finger Puppets”: Examining the Use of Artifacts to Create Liminal Moments in Management Education}, abstract = {The resource review we examine here is provided by the Unemployed Philosophers Guild http://www.philosophersguild.com/Finger-Puppets/). On the company’s website they comment: “. . . we have discovered that people seem to really like the giants of our culture reduced to little finger puppets . . .” In particular, we consider the use of the “finger puppets” to generate a liminal moment (Hawkins \& Edwards, 2013) in management education. Liminal moments have been described as “moments in and out of time” (Delanty, 2010, p. 31). A sense of “neither here nor there; they are betwixt and between the positions assigned and arrayed by law, custom, convention, and ceremony” . . . that allow for the “realm of pure possibility” (Turner, 1967, p. 95). We explore the use of this resource as a liminal tool and its value to management education.}, doi = {10.1177/1052562914540904}, eissn = {1552-6658}, issn = {1052-5629}, issue = {3}, journal = {Journal of Management Education}, pages = {433-438}, publicationstatus = {Published}, publisher = {SAGE Publications}, url = {https://uwe-repository.worktribe.com/output/826912}, volume = {39}, keyword = {finger, puppets, artifacts, liminal, management, educaton}, year = {2015}, author = {Elliott, Carole and Stead, Valerie and Heneberry, Pam and Turner, Arthur and Kempster, Steve} }
