Multiplicity, Virtuality and Organization: The Contribution of Gilles Deleuze
基于德勒兹哲学,论证组织本身具有动态性,变化与组织相互交织,通过多重性、虚拟性等概念揭示组织的创造性自我颠覆本质。
Formal organization is often seen as opposed or resistant to change, in theory as well as in practice. Drawing primarily on the philosophy of Gilles Deleuze we argue that the reverse is true — that organization is itself a dynamic quality and that change and organization are imbricated in each other. We expand several key concepts of this philosophy in relation to organization (the multiplicity of order and the multiplicity of organization, strata and meshworks, virtuality and multitude) all of which draw attention to the unstable but ever-present forces that subvert and disrupt, escape, exceed and change organization. This enables an understanding of organization as creatively autosubversive — not fixed, but in motion, never resting and constantly trembling.
