Virus as a figure of geontopower or how to practice Foucault now? : A conversation with Elizabeth A. Povinelli
- 2023
-
In: Foucault Studies. - : Copenhagen Business School Press. - 1832-5203. ; :35, s. 211-231
-
Journal article (other academic/artistic)abstract
- Elizabeth A. Povinelli, Franz Boas Professor at Columbia University, is a philosopher and anthropologist who has critically engaged with Michel Foucault’s ideas as well as scholarship inspired by his works. Povinelli has been dedicated to research on colonialism within liberalism and is also a filmmaker and founding member of The Karrabing Film Collective. The film collective is part of a larger organization of Aboriginal peoples and artists living in the Australian Northern Territory that refuses ‘fantasies of sovereignty and property’.[1]As Povinelli shares with us during the interview, her trajectory was constituted in the middle of the 1980s following her life-changing encounter with the elders in Belyuen in the Australian Northern Territory. In the wake of that encounter, and with urgent issues raised about indigeneity due to changes in Australian law, Povinelli has been working even closer with her Karrabing family. The changes in law both acknowledged Aboriginal peoples' rights to their territory and imposed certain ideas of identity, family and culture, producing an entanglement between rights and government. These efforts to manage differences – cultural, race, gender – are problematized and deciphered in Povinelli’s ethnographic work with a focus on how late settler liberalism has been reconfigured with novel expressions of colonialism and imperialism.

Management learning and the unsettled humanities : Introduction to the special issue
- 2021
-
In: Management Learning. - : SAGE Publications. - 1350-5076 .- 1461-7307. ; 52:2, s. 135-143
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- This special issue engages with the unsettling of the humanities to further explore its relevance for management learning and education. It explores how themes traditionally belonging to the humanities have spurred critical inquiry and raised theoretical issues within other disciplines, following the crisis of the classical humanist ideal as ‘the measure of all things’. It focuses on how the tensions resulting from this crisis can be constructively thematized in the field of management and organization studies, and how the unsettling of the humanities’ privileged access to studying the ‘especially human’ can be taken into the classroom. In this manner, the special issue engages with questions related to the Anthropocene, posthumanism and transhumanism, and raises issues concerning the human possibilities for knowing, learning and living in entangled ways. Additionally, it helps us understand the critical role of the humanities in making sense of the reciprocities between imagination, information and the human crafting of meaningful knowledge.

Climate Activism : How Communities Take Renewable Energy Actions Across Business and Society
- 2022
-
Book (peer-reviewed)abstract
- What is activism? The answer is, typically, that it is a form of opposition, often expressed on the streets. Skoglund and Böhm argue differently. They identify forms of 'insider activism' within corporations, state agencies and villages, showing how people seek to transform society by working within the system, rather than outright opposing it. Using extensive empirical data, Skoglund and Böhm analyze the transformation of climate activism in a rapidly changing political landscape, arguing that it is time to think beyond the tensions between activism and enterprise. They trace the everyday renewable energy actions of a growing 'epistemic community' of climate activists who are dispersed across organizational boundaries and domains. This book is testament to a new way of understanding activism as an organizational force that brings about the transition towards sustainability across business and society and is of interest to social science scholars of business, renewable energy and sustainable development.

Disruption and design through ‘aesthetic co-production’ in Engineering Entrepreneurship Education
- 2022
-
Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Engineering Entrepreneurship Education has increasingly engaged in the social and environmental effects of Technology-Based Entrepreneurship (TBE), with demands to make society more participative in worldmaking seen as a responsible aesthetic choice related to design. We wish to delve deeper into the teaching and learning needed to understand participative processes in such choices, by pedagogic development of a TBE course called ‘Aesthetics, design and sustainability’, embedded in the curricula of Uppsala School of Entrepreneurship. Pedagogically guided by a focus on aesthetic co-production, we suggest teachers can better foster engineering students’ awareness of their own abilities to engage in disruptive configurations, which is fundamental to entrepreneurship, and worldmaking, which is fundamental to socio-technological progress. The aim is to advance and mobilize the concept of ‘aesthetic co-production’ in the classroom and beyond, with particular focus on how customers/users can be enabled to interact with the environment, designers, business developers and technology, to configure new knowledge through directed entanglements, materialized in the form of more sustainable technological solutions. We elaborate on this strategic process of participation by drawing on the experience of an engineering student from the School of Entrepreneurship, (co-author Arwin Zendehrokh), who currently is enabling an industrial partner to merge Additive Manufacturing with design and aesthetics to secure custom-made sustainable solutions. Since engineering students are particularly prone to base their worldmaking in expertise on technology, we suggest this pedagogic approach on aesthetic co-production is crucial for the creation of a shift in their understanding of the social and environmental effects of TBE.

Organizational Imaginaries: A conceptualization by first growing theoretical breasts
- 2023
-
Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Often seen to arise from utterly anthropomorphic activity, it is unclear what sort of humannessthat has been espoused through conceptualizations of imaginaries within organization andmanagement theory (OMT). We investigate this by first elaborating on how researchers canacknowledge a more wholesome humanness in a counter to ballsy theory (Cunliffe, 2022), tothen provide a queering metaphor - the growing of theoretical breasts - to infuse humannessdifferently. We assess existing conceptualizations of imaginaries within the field in relation totheir core metaphors and assumptions about ‘the human’, to then create our ownconceptualization of ‘organizational imaginaries’ based on breasty thinking. Instead of beingdependent on the ‘lived experience’ of research participants, this method for thinking differentlycan be used to enliven unpopulated theory-driven papers through the ‘lived experience’ of thetheoroi - the theorizing self. This embedding of theory within humanness is of particularimportance when desired futures are assumed to be reached through Anthropos’ exclusivecapacity to generate imaginaries. Queering metaphors for a contemplative and careful craftingof a theorizing self, can also facilitate unique positions, pluralism in theory, and embodiedknowledge production.
