Dear colleagues,

I am very happy to send you the two papers that we will be discussing next Friday.

Yousra’s (very interesting) paper is entitled :

 « Faire corps » / « Comme un seul homme ». Inter-corporeality and the collective body in non-violent activism

Mar’s (very provokative and exciting) paper is entitled:  « Wanted ! New continent name. For epistemic existence and the de-« Americanization » of management »

Here are some comments from the authors:

Yousra is attempting to strengthen the link between theory and data around this « equation »:

« activists’ bodies learning and performing = an inter-corporeal experience»
Your ideas, comments and reactions are all more than welcome.

Mar (This is Mar’s message):

« here is the paper I propose for our next paper workshop. It was rejected from a special issue on writing differently (on the account that it didn’t exactly fit, but I was highly encouraged to really do something with it by the editors).

I would now like to develop part of the ideas (but I’m not sure which ones) for one of the sections below of Organization (but again, I’m not sure for which one, opinions welcome) :

  1. Speaking Out papers: Provocative and polemical essays, written to challenge contemporary orthodoxies in our field (4,000 words maximum excluding references).
  2. Acting Up papers: Acting Up sets out to create a platform for radical politics and political activism in Organization. Acting Up papers are short pieces (around 4,000 words excluding references), developing a genre of academic writing that supports relevance, political engagement, resistance, and activism.
  3. Connexions: Essays that tie together contemporary social problems and the study of organizing, emphasizing connections between theory and practice, between the international political and economic order and organizational analysis, and between action and disinterested observation (6,000 words maximum including references).

thanks in advance,  »

I hope that you will enjoy reading the two papers.

Looking forward for this very promising / exciting session!

Best,
