Abstract
ABSTRACT Television often depicts narratives reinforcing whiteness, cisheteronormativity, classism, and masculinity, particularly in organizations. This essay joins calls for #RepresentationMatters and feminist media scholarship on intersectional representation of difference at work. We analyze NBC’s Superstore, whose characters receive media praise for diverse representations of retail work while simultaneously depicting problematic portrayals. Our critical textual analysis reveals three themes of intersectional representation: (1) meta-representation of difference, (2) silencing intersectional voices, and (3) managing intersectional identities. We theorize difference at work on TV and invite future scholarship.
