Crossroads Tempered Radicalism and the Politics of Ambivalence and Change
研究那些既认同组织又认同与组织主流文化相悖的意识形态的“温和激进者”,分析他们面临的矛盾心理带来的挑战与机遇,并记录他们推动组织变革的策略。
“Tempered Radicals” are individuals who identify with and are committed to their organizations, and are also committed to a cause, community, or ideology that is fundamentally different from, and possibly at odds with the dominant culture of their organization. The ambivalent stance of these individuals creates a number of special challenges and opportunities. Based on interviews, conversations, personal reflections, and archival reports, this paper describes the special circumstances faced by tempered radicals and documents some of the strategies used by these individuals as they try to make change in their organizations and sustain their ambivalent identities.
