Deferring Difference No More: An (im)modest, relational plea from/through Karen Barad
指出管理与组织研究在引用凯伦·巴拉德的关系理论时，忽略了其女性主义、酷儿和去殖民的激进内涵，导致性别、种族等不平等议题被边缘化；作者通过三步策略重新中心化这些关系性面向，呼吁停止对差异的推迟。
The field of management and organization studies (MOS) regularly invokes the relational theories of Karen Barad in sociomaterial and new materialist scholarship. Taking the increasing influence of this work as our point of departure, we witness once again the deferral of difference as organizational scholars grapple with Barad’s oeuvre but gloss the work’s feminist, queer, and decolonial impetus. As a consequence, relational scholarship in MOS circulates without its commentary on gender, race, sexuality, and related axes of inequity. This article recenters these aspects of relational approaches in three steps: (1) identifying the scholarly practices through which they disappear, (2) “re-relationalizing” relational theory in its radical roots, and (3) envisioning scholarly practices that better actualize the potential of relational theories. Our goal is to cultivate the constitutive relations of MOS such that we cease the deferral of difference, both in the study of power and in studies of “generic” organizational practice.
