Taking a stand: The embodied, enacted and emplaced work of relational critique
反思了在学术组织中，当被要求对一项政治行为保持价值中立时，批判学者如何通过“表明立场”来对抗沉默，强调管理研究无法脱离伦理与政治，并揭示了具身、践行与情境化工作在发展关系性批判实践中的重要性。
We reflect here on our experience as critical scholars in an academic organization when confronted with an expectation that we remain value-neutral about a political act which we, and many others, found reprehensible. Our experience relates to the Academy of Management response to the travel ban implemented by President Trump in January 2017 which denied US entry to citizens from seven Muslim majority countries. By exploring how the concept of ‘taking a stand’ was used by the Academy of Management leadership to try to silence politics, and the response that this generated within the critical management studies community, we draw attention to the impossibility of separating management scholarship from questions of ethics and politics. We highlight the gendered nature of struggles to be critical in uncritical spaces and draw attention to the importance of embodied, enacted and emplaced work as the basis for developing relational practices of critique.
