No-Organization: Confronting the “It” of antiblackness in scholarship on Africa
探讨反黑人性如何塑造关于非洲的知识生产，提出“无组织”这一隐形话语框架，并主张通过第三种学术路径来恢复黑人及非洲社会生活在学术中的表达。
This essay explores anti-Blackness and how it structures knowledge production about Africa. It introduces “No-Organization” or the “it” as an invisible discursive frame that constructs the continent as a space devoid of Organization. I use No-Organization to reengage two scholarly approaches invested in decentering the West and addressing the erasure of Africa in Organization Studies. The first approach deconstructs Western-centric representations in the literature, while the second one generates studies better attuned to African contexts and theories. I claim that both approaches overlook the deeper antiblack knowledge structure in which misrepresentations and contextual research exist. I offer No-Organization as a third approach, which allows us to grasp the unpalpable and recover expressions of Black and African social life in scholarly work.
