Abstract: The purpose of this article is to discuss the contributions of Norman Macintosh to accounting research, and, in particular, his interest in and intriguing applications of poststructuralist and postmodern concepts and ideas to the accounting research domain. While few accounting scholars have looked at the application of poststructuralist and postmodern positions as inspirations for their work, Macintosh has forthrightly investigated the application of such thought in the accounting field, often expressed as an effort to provide insights into various accounting phenomena and possibly to serve as a critique of what he perceived to be an overreliance on realism and positivism in accounting practice and thought. This review article seeks to highlight Macintosh's contributions to this aspect of accounting research and scholarship.
