Exploring Material‐Discursive Practices
支持组织研究中的物质性转向,通过酒店估值案例,从能动现实主义视角探讨物质与话语的纠缠关系,对关注物质化与表演性的学者有参考价值。
Abstract Our intent in this commentary is to support the turn to materiality in organizational research, and contribute to it by considering some differences in our approach from that proposed by Hardy and Thomas. Drawing on agential realism – which theorizes the entanglement of matter and meaning – we explore the relation between discourse and materiality in terms of the ideas of materialization and performativity as enacted in a study of hotel valuation in the hospitality industry. We offer our comments in the spirit of constructive engagement and hope that our discussion along with others in this Point‐Counterpoint will generate further explorations.
