Historicity in Organization Studies
Informing the ontologies of organizational histories
International audience
Organization as Time
The bulk of Management and Organization Studies deals with time as organization. Time is performed, organized, enacted, and as such is a locus of power. In this edited book, we stress the importance of organization as time. Time is an organizing force. The happening and becoming of collective activity, its technologies, its images, keep empowering, dominating or (more rarely) emancipating the fragile and ephemeral subjectivities of our world. The…
The Oxford Handbook of Phenomenologies and Organization Studies
Phenomenologies are an important dimension of Management and Organization Studies (MOS). They are particularly helpful to understand organizing processes as experiences instead of mere representations or objectivations of the world. Yet several misunderstandings still pervade discussions about what they are and what they could bring. This Handbook offers a description of phenomenologies, post-phenomenologies, and antianteante-phenomenologies, and…

Imagining the name of the rose with Deleuze
In this research, the process of world-making at stake in movie direction and movie images is explored. Following Deleuze and Bergson, I investigate how the process of designing and experimenting with images contributes to a prelinguistic world-making process from which multiple selves can happen. With and from an autoethnography of my experience of the movie The Name of the Rose, I develop a cinematographic language that can describe organizing …
Experiencing the New World of Work
Exploring the different facets of the new world of work (including the hacker and maker movements, platform work, and digital nomadism), this edited volume sets out to investigate and theorise how these new work practices are experienced by various actors. It explores such changes at both the micro and macro levels and sets out to link them back to wider social, managerial and political issues. In doing so, it aims to reflect on the similarities …
Organizational memorialization
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to understand how historical materialities might play a contemporary role in legitimation processes through the memorialization of history and its reproduction in the here-and-now of organizations and organizing. Design/methodology/approach The authors briefly review the existing management and organization studies (MOS) literature on legitimacy, space and history; engage with the work of Merleau-Ponty to expl…
Becoming mainstream’
Digital nomadism, a mobile lifestyle that encompasses a wide array of professional endeavours, ranging from corporate remote workers to digital entrepreneurs, has benefitted from a steadily growing appeal. Despite this, there is a dearth of research exploring the premises and development of digital nomadism. This paper is concerned with the image of digital nomadism, its underlying structure and practices, and its relation to the current world of…
Mapping themes in the study of new work practices
Both shaping and shaped by technological, economic and social facets, the world of work has witnessed a wide array of changes. This review article sets out to provide a synthesis of some of the main directions and insights of existing research connected to the new world of work. In particular, we approached the topic of new work practices through four key dimensions: (1) Conceptual and methodological dimensions in the study of new work practices;…
Matters of visuality in legitimation practices
Legitimacy and legitimation practices are key constructs in the neo-institutional literature. So far, much scholarship has drawn on ideational and discursive approaches of legitimation. Yet, the organizational world has become increasingly iconographical, and visuals seem to have been at the core of contemporary legitimacy claims. This research investigates the visual artifacts and practices embedded in the elaboration of legitimacy claims. Throu…
Sociomatérialité et information dans les organisations
À l’heure du numérique, du virtuel, de la mobilité et de l’effacement des frontières organisationnelles, la gestion serait pour certains de plus en plus immatérielle et symbolique. L’ouvrage prend le contre-pied de ce propos. C’est justement parce que l’information et les technologies deviennent plus abstraites et plus numériques que de nouvelles pratiques sont nécessaires pour les incarner, les enrichir, les matérialiser, en particulier lorsqu’i…
The post-Macy paradox, information management and organising
Between 1946 and 1953, leading scientists met in New York in the context of the so-called Macy conferences, often linked to the emergence of cybernetics. They hankered for a new vision of mind and society. The traumatism of WW2 was implicit but omnipresent, and the Cold War was beginning. Macy key tools and concepts about information, the value of information, and computer artefacts have finally produced a new world, in particular an organisation…
Materiality and Space
Materiality and Space focuses on how organizations and managing are bound with the material forms and spaces through which humans act and interact at work. It concentrates on organizational practices

A new perspective on the genealogy of collective action through the history of religious organizations
This article puts forwards a ‘reorientationist’ perspective about the genealogy of collective action and artefacts deployed for its orientation. It draws on the history of religion and religious organizations as elaborated by several promoters of the so-called ‘new history’ in France.These historians (mainly medievalist) can be helpful in writing a different genealogy of contemporary models of collective action (i.e. ways of reaching a goal toget…

Les figures de la gestion du changement sociotechnique
Les outils informatiques occupent une place grandissante dans la vie des organisations. L’étude des dynamiques sociales liées à leurs usages est ainsi devenue une préoccupation importante pour les sciences sociales. L’article qui suit présente une synthèse des travaux récents sur cette thématique, plus particulièrement sur les recherches structurationnistes. Un modèle fédérateur est suggéré : le modèle archétypique. Celui-ci correspond à trois si…
