Abstract

This chapter addresses bisexuality, organisations, and capitalism. It focuses, firstly, on bisexual people as actors within workplace organisations, and secondly, on the ways in which certain bisexualities are commodified in order to generate profit. Commodification is defined here as the transformation of social processes and identities into ‘things’ that can be used to make money. The chapter explores the ways in which the commodification of bisexuality takes place in different ways in various sectors, including the sex industries and the media.
