On the Idea of Emancipation in Management and Organization Studies
重新定义了管理与组织研究中的解放概念,回应后结构主义对总体化倾向的批评,提出一个更温和、更贴合管理研究实际的解放方案,并探讨如何通过倾听、写作和阅读来推进这一方案。
The article reconceptualizes the meaning of emancipation in management and organization studies and develops an approach that (a) takes into account recent criticism of its “totalizing” tendencies raised by post structuralists and (b) makes it more sensitive to the particularities of—and thereby more relevant for—management studies. The first part of the article reviews and discusses tendencies in critical theory toward negativism, essentialism, and intellectualism. The second part reformulates the grand enterprise of emancipation into a more modest project, scaled down in terms of scope and ambition. The third part discusses ways of advancing this protect in terms of listening, writing, and reading.
