Granskningssamhället och det nya Europa : när de Baltiska staterna sattes på prov
- 2012
-
Book (other academic/artistic)abstract
- I den här skriften analyseras det framväxande granskningssamhället, med utgångspunkt i hur de baltiska staterna synades inför EU-inträdet. Då länderna skulle bli en del av det nya Europa öppnade de sig för granskning av bl.a. EU-kommissionen, EBRD och Transparency International. Men frågan är om granskning verkligen är en så neutral praktik som det ges sken av?Genom att jämföra granskning av stater med revision av företag visar författaren på att granskningssamhället inte bara skapar ordning, utan ensärskild ordning. Granskningsförfaranden blir slagkraftiga styrningsmekanismer mot bestämda mål, just eftersom de oftast framställs och uppfattas som värderingsfria och neutrala teknologier. rapporter, siffror och rankningar reflekterar verkligheten samtidigt som de är med och konstruerar den.

Reform and rescue : International organizations and the organization of markets
- 2018
-
In: Organizing and reorganizing markets. - : Oxford University Press. - 9780198815761 - 9780191853289
-
Book chapter (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Organizing and Reorganizing Markets is an edited volume that brings organization theory to the study of markets. The differences between markets and organizations are often exaggerated. Both are organized. Organizing exists in addition to other processes and phenomena that form markets: the mutual adaption among sellers and buyers as described in mainstream economics and the institutions described in institutional economics and economic sociology. Market organization can be analysed with the same type of theories used for analysing organization within formal organizations. Through the use of many empirical examples, the book demonstrates how this can be done. We argue that the way a certain market is organized can be understood as the (intermediate) result of previous organizing processes. We discuss such questions as ‘What drives market organizing and reorganizing processes? What makes various organizations intervene as market organizers? And how are the specific contents of market organization determined?’ The answers to these questions help us to analyse similarities and differences among organizing processes in formal organizations and those in markets. The arguments are illustrated by in-depth studies of many types of markets. The book is intended to open up markets as a field of study for scholars of organization. Although the chapters have different authors, they use and elaborate upon the same general theoretical framework. The book contributes to the issue of organization outside and among organizations where a fundamental concept is that of partial organization.

States under scrutiny : International organizations, transformation and the construction of progress
- 2007
-
Doctoral thesis (other academic/artistic)abstract
- Opinions, rankings and evaluations of states’ development are proliferating. In the context of the transformation and EU accession of the Baltic States, there were many organizations involved in the scrutiny of their efforts to become accepted as modern and European. This scrutiny directed towards states can be seen as a new practice of transnational regulation. Especially in times of major transformation, as was the case in the Baltic States after the collapse of the Soviet bloc, monitoring and evaluation of achievements can be expected to shape how reforms were prioritized and how problems were perceived. In order to gain a better understanding of these transformations it is necessary to study the practice of organizations that scrutinize the states.The aim of the thesis is to analyze the role of scrutiny as a practice of transnational regulation. By analyzing how international organizations scrutinize states, this thesis adds knowledge to how transforming states are constructed in the everyday practices of scrutiny. A main argument is that by evaluating and reporting on states, international organizations can be seen as ‘auditors’ of transformations in states. The thesis compares three such ‘auditors’ and their respective relations to the states under scrutiny, namely: the European Commission, the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) and the NGO Transparency International. The thesis contributes to discussions about the role of transnational regulation in the transformation of states. By comparing the three cases of scrutiny it is concluded that scrutiny produces both comfort and critique for and about these transforming states. In addition, through processes of scrutinizing, states are constructed as auditable and comparable. Scrutiny also inscribes states into a story about progress, it thus offers hope about reforms and of a better future.

Writing, dreams and imagination

Book chapter (other academic/artistic)abstract
- Studies of philosophy have shown that daydreaming is essential for our imagination. Through daydreaming, the present reality can be expanded as new life worlds take shape. How this happens and how the dreamt realities play a role in today’s organizations we, however, know little about. In this chapter we are working on how to make sense of our research material about daydreaming and trying out different ways of how to write about it. In these attempts we face a fundamental question: is it a dream in itself that an academic text, about a woman who manages (and daydreams on) her farm, can give rise to poetic images?As we search for ways of writing that can give rise to poetic images, we experiment with a triptych in the form of photos, poetry, and a portrait. It turns out to become a kind of triangulation among the pictures we see through the lenses of our cameras, an impressionistic biography, and a rendering of what we hear when we listen to a farmer; as if the poetic image would emerge from these impressions offered by our studied organization. The chapter attempts to open up to ways of writing where different images can be born to evoke poetic aspects of the material at hand rather than merely represent its factual “evidence.”Working with the triptych, and hopefully in reading it, the different texts create a stop in the flow of reading, enabling us to pause and inviting us to a journey.

Caravan Poetry : An Inquiry on Four Wheels
- 2020

In: Qualitative Inquiry. - : SAGE PUBLICATIONS INC. - 1077-8004 .- 1552-7565. ; 26:6, s. 633-638

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- How can we create possibilities for a generative moment between the research participants and ourselves? In a study about (day)dreaming, we searched for ways of doing our research in which we could meet and jointly explore the becoming of life and important matters through our experiences of dreaming. Inspired by Gaston Bachelard's phenomenology of dreaming and in particular his book The Poetics of Space, in which he emphasized the importance of small, intimate spaces for poetic moments to occur, we decided to buy a small countryside caravan. Through this inquiry into a new spatiotemporality for our research encounters, we experienced how the caravan offers a rupture from the mundane ongoingness enabling us to reconnect to the moment, the place, each other, and ourselves. This rupture awakens the verticality of time allowing us to be looking anew and making novel connections. What may be seen as self-evident, but it was not for us, is the recognition that in developing research practices for studying dreaming, we had to first start dreaming ourselves.

The power of daydreaming : the aesthetic act of a new beginning
- 2022
-
In: Culture and Organization. - : Routledge. - 1475-9551 .- 1477-2760. ; 28:1, s. 64-78
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- What can we learn from a better understanding of the process of daydreaming in an organizational context? That is the main question underpinning this study. Based on a field study with a rural entrepreneur that uses daydreaming as her main strategic tool in the development of her farm, and a reading of Bachelard's work on the phenomenology of 'reverie,' we come to understand daydreaming as an embodied act that emerges at the intersection between relational materiality, vertical temporality and aesthetic space. This conceptualization of daydreaming reminds us that rather than focusing on how to make dreams come true, which is the traditional way of relating to dreams in organizational life, there is a need to enable people to dream anew, because that is when new beginnings can be born, and the particular will to act, through daydreaming, can be released.
