Scientific Journal

At the library, I was wondering and flipping some scientific journals when I found a journal called Organization. Thinking it would interesting and have something to do with the level organization of life. (since I just the another one about the usage of radioactive Ga in medicine) Indeed, it was interesting. The first article is "Have yourself a merry little Christmas? Organizing Christmas in women's magazines past and present" Abstract, intro, methodology, analysis, conclusion, reference....This is not a book, it's a journal! Then, I quickly looked through all the topics: "Regardin gifts-on Christmas gift exchange and asymmetrical business relations" "The organization of Santa: fetishism, ambivalence and narcissism" "The sacralizaion of Christmas commerce" "Ritualized Christmas headgear or 'Pass me the tinsel, mother: it's the office party tonight'"....Reading through the back cover where I found a line with small front lies "Special Issue--Christmas", I laughed all the way. And even harder, when I see the subtitle "the 'critical' journal of organization, theory and society. I guess that's not my field.
