Mobile Clubbing
We take a philosophical look at solitude and community through the phenomenon of the iPod. We observed that this tiny technological wonder is at one and the same time a possibility of shutting oneself off from the world in real or imagined solitude, and a way we can find ourselves in the company of like-minded others, sharing experiences as a member of a community. The first part of the article deals with how iPod enables solitude. Second, we loo…
Wonders without wounds
This paper consists of two parts. The first provides a philosophical history of the concept of wonder, taking Heidegger's reading of the Greek verb thaumazein (‘to wonder') as its point of departure. It shows how the Greek sense of wonder, understood as a dwelling in the everyday, has changed over time. Wonder becomes understood as curiosity and amazement, and gradually turns into something suspicious in the modern age. The second part illustrate…
Swarm
This paper uses the example of the flash mob, and more specifically mobile clubbing, to discuss the potential of alternative, unmanaged processes of organising, enabled by the specific milieu of the city. As such, it places cities – as spaces of concentrated human living and working – firmly at the heart of theorising about organisation as a complex everyday social process, which extends beyond the confines of the more usual unit of analysis – th…
The man in the black hat
A century after the American Frontier was closed, the cowboy remains an iconic figure. A sturdy individualism, a steely disregard for convention and the bravery to do what’s gotta be done: these are powerful tropes that seemingly define a particular type of heroism. One that seems ageless despite the disappearance of the border environment in which the fictive cowboy operated. Our aim in this paper is to explore the mythology of the cowboy as dep…
Organization demonology
Organizing is an activity which is embedded in ethicality. Is it possible to think of organizing without some understanding of goodness? Thinking about organization, we all seem to presuppose that
A Parable of Parodies
Are organizations bicycles? On hosophobia and neo‐gnosticism in organizational thought
Organization has a very complex relationship with contamination in the sense that they both need and fear it. We define this ambivalent or paradoxical characteristic of organization as hosophobic and argue that some forms of contamination are deemed to be dangerous whereas other forms, most notably the contamination of people, are considered as more than welcome. Using some philosophical sources (Deleuze, Sloterdijk, pataphysics, neognosis), we e…
