The social potency of affect: Identification and power in the immanent structuring of practice
研究了情感在组织和管理等社会实践结构中的核心作用,提出基于情感本体论的理论框架,并通过英国咨询公司董事会成员的互动分析验证其相关性和可信度。
We address the centrality of affect in structuring social practices, including those of organizing and managing. Social practices, it is argued, are contingent upon actors’ affectively charged involvement in immanent, yet indeterminate social relations. To understand this generative involvement, we commend a temporally-sensitive, critically-oriented theoretical framework, grounded in an affect-based ontology of practice. We demonstrate the relevance and credibility of this proposal through an analysis of the interactions of Board members in a UK consulting company.
