2nd workshop on Imagining Business: Call For Papers

Samantha Warren — Wed, 09 Jun 2010 14:44:31 +0000

The 2nd EIASM workshop on IMAGINING BUSINESS “Reflecting on visuality,

performances and materialities in practices of management, organising

and governing”

http://www.eiasm.org/frontoffice/event_announcement.asp?event_id=747

Segovia, Spain – May 19-20, 2011

Abstract submission deadline – 27th September 2010

Keynote Speakers: Mario Biagioli (Harvard), Jacques Fontanille (Limoges)

& Nigel Thrift (Warwick).

Following the success of the 1st Imagining Business Workshop (Oxford,

2008), this second event seeks to explore in further detail the impact

of images, pictures, and signs on everyday organizational life. Inspired

by the principle that any social activity results from how various

organisational actors are tied together (Latour’s idea of ‘socie-ties’),

this workshop intends to examine how various organisational performances

and material objects of all kinds (e.g. information technologies, forms,

charts, plans, models, etc.) help to construct unstable although durable

links between organizational actors. This includes exploring how they

contribute to the creation of business visions, images and

visualizations in ways which allow organizings and organizations to

‘succeed’ (i.e. to happen), as well as ‘fail’.

A focus on imagining business has shifted our attention beyond the text

and towards the visual. In this second edition of the Imagining Business

workshop we wish to develop this further by exploring many other diverse

ways and different aspects related to this imagining process. This

workshop thus provides an interdisciplinary arena in which academics and

practitioners from a wide range of subject areas can come together to

debate issues of imagining.

We welcome abstracts (1500-2000 words), extended abstracts (2000-3000

words) and draft papers from a range of disciplines and approaches

(organizational theory, accounting, geography, art, sociology,

communication studies, architecture, philosophy, social studies of

technology…) that seek to explore the theoretical and empirical issues

related to a diversity of themes. The format for discussion will include

both traditional paper presentations and alternative and non-traditional

forums (e.g. performance, exhibition, panel, discussion group, etc).

We look forward to reading your submissions.
