Actor-Network Theory and Organizing
- 2005

Samlingsverk (redaktörskap) (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Actor Network Theory and Organizing Actor-Network Theory (ANT) is rapidly making its mark as a practical, challenging and intriguing tool for studying organization. Its unique approach to connecting people, artifacts, institutions and organizations enables it to shed light on complexities that so far have escaped works in organization theory. In this book a number of European and American scholars apply ANT in the study of various aspects of organization, including technology, organizational change, routines, virtual organization, strategy, power, market mechanisms, consumer behaviour, public administration and knowledge management. Taken together, the chapters offer new and intriguing ways of organizational theorizing. The book is suitable for researchers and higher-level students, and it serves as an excellent primer for those wanting to learning about ANT through the lens of organization theory.

A (d)evolution of the cyberwoman?

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- In this paper, we examine Donna Haraway's idea of a liberating potential of cyborgization in the light of popular culture products related to organized work. We consider two different takes on this issue: women as technology and technology as women, and we start with the successive versions of Stepford Wives (the novel, the 1975 movie and the 2004 movie), and continue by tracing the evolution of the character of a cyberwoman, from William Gibson's Neuromancer (1984) and Idoru (1996), to Trinity from the Matrix trilogy. We show that cyborgization does not automatically denote liberalization, and suggest that the much greater popularity of the Matrix films compared to the intellectual projects of William Gibson means that stereotypes and strong plots survive, finding ever new forms of expression. We end the paper by pointing out the relevance of popular culture models for work in contemporary homes and other workplaces.

A golden braid: Allport, Goffman, Weick

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- One of the central tenets of Karl Weick’s work and one of his original contributions to organization theory is his insistence that organizational scholars should study structures of events rather than people, objects, or pseudo-objects, important as they all are. Through the operation of sensemaking, events may be portrayed as meaningful actions or random occurrences, but it is the connections among them that are central to organizing. This paper connects Karl Weick’s work to that of Floyd H. Allport and Erving Goffman, two among several writers who inspired Weick. These three authors shared an interest in what Allport called structuring, Goffman called ordering, and Weick called organizing of the events and experiences of everyday life. This genealogical presentation of their work attempts to situate their thoughts within contemporary debates in social sciences, including those determined by the spirit of the times.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The focus of this paper is on changing perceptions of accounting in different times and in different cultural contexts, with the special emphasis on the issues of gender. The material used is a combination of fiction and research results, and the scope of analysis extends from the end of the 18th century in Central Europe through the birth of capitalism in Poland to the contemporary global economy, as portrayed in the novels of Douglas Adams.

Analisi etnografica di un'agenzia di stampa
- 2009
-
Bok (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Le agenzie di stampa ricevono ogni giorno montagne di informazioni, delle quali circa il cinque per cento diventa "notizia". Ciò nonostante, producono esse stesse nuove informazioni attraverso i propri reporter e una continua ricerca. Come è possibile filtrare e verificare questa sovrabbondanza di materiale? Quali strategie e tecnologie esistono per gestirla? Il testo risponde a queste domande, conducendo un'analisi etnografica sull'agenzia ansa, evidenziando come i giornalisti si trovino coinvolti in una grande rete produttiva, in cui devono conciliare l'esigenza di ritmi sempre più veloci con la necessità di verificare l'esattezza delle informazioni.
