(Re)moving blinders: Communication-as-constitutive theorizing as provocation to practice-based organization scholarship
指出基于实践的组织学术存在盲点,特别是对能动性和组织的理解,并提出将沟通视为组织构成的理论作为补救,同时结合新唯物主义揭示组织中的支配条件。
Practice-based organization scholarship has made significant contributions, but its vision is narrow. It aims to show organizational scholars that what are taken to be entities are better understood as the accomplishments of ongoing practices; in doing so, it seeks to re-imagine the organization studies field. Yet, practice-based organization scholarship suffers from some encumbering blind spots, particularly with respect to its conceptions of agency and its ability to theorize “the” organization. I offer communication as constitutive of organization theorizing—itself a variant of practice thinking—as providing some helpful remedies to those problems. Both approaches, however, have trouble seeing domination in organizing, so a further provocation builds on their shared interest in new materialist theorizing to articulate a novel approach to exposing the conditions and conduct of organizing.
