Sociomaterial Practices: Exploring Technology at Work
认为日常组织活动与物质性密不可分，但现有组织研究常忽视或简化这一关系。作者提出社会与物质在日常生活中共构的新视角，并用实例说明，以帮助理解当代组织中多元、涌现且动态的社会物质组合。
In this essay, I begin with the premise that everyday organizing is inextricably bound up with materiality and contend that this relationship is inadequately reflected in organizational studies that tend to ignore it, take it for granted, or treat it as a special case. The result is an understanding of organizing and its conditions and consequences that is necessarily limited. I then argue for an alternative approach, one that posits the constitutive entanglement of the social and the material in everyday life. I draw on some empirical examples to help ground and illustrate this approach in practice and conclude by suggesting that a reconfiguration of our conventional assumptions and considerations of materiality will help us more effectively recognize and understand the multiple, emergent, and shifting sociomaterial assemblages entailed in contemporary organizing.
