Call
for Papers EGOS 2022
Sub-theme 65: Visual studies and seeing the unnoticed in organizations
This
sub-theme aims to bring together researchers interested in deepening and
broadening our understanding of the visual in organization studies. It asks how
can we identify productive ways through which visual and discursive research
can intersect, towards affording visual methods a more equitable standing in
the field? We are extremely pleased to announce that Prof Emma
Bell has agreed to deliver an opening address and that Prof
Sam Warren and A/Prof Harriet Short will deliver a
visual pattern analysis workshop in our sub-theme.
Contributions
are invited that either: outline current visual organizational research; or
advance conceptual or methodological understanding of why and how to see the
unnoticed and unspoken in organization. Please consider presenting you research
visually, for example through visual storytelling, video essay, photographic
installation, collage, illustration, or material artefacts.
Possible
questions that submissions might address include, but are not limited to:
In
which ways can visual approaches explore beauty, imperfection or ugliness in
organizing?
What novel and unexpected insights can visual research create, and what new
theorizing does it facilitate?
What
specific concepts, practices and processes are involved in a visual
organizational project, including how research participants are engaged (e.g.
in co-production) and how to communicate the outcomes of visual organizational
research?
How can visual methods enable us to see through organizational logics and
discourses, and which everyday organizational phenomena have so far gone
unnoticed and how might they be illuminated?
How
might visual approaches further shift the gaze in the field to see
organizational intersubjectivities in more pluralistic, non-binary, inclusive
ways?
What aesthetics, embodiments and affects are experienced in (co-)production of
visual research, and how can they be consciously articulated?
How
can visual approaches decolonize and/or empower disenfranchised groups in
organizational research? In which ways can visual approaches be used to shine
light on taken-for-granted discourses and expose problematic organizational
histories (e.g. colonization, imperialism, oppression, exploitation, fraud,
etc.)?
In
what ways can methodologies draw on visual materials, multimodal texts and
other artifacts, and how might such approaches be used to make sense of, or
give sense to organizational narratives?
How might alternative conceptual lenses inform and refocus our development of
visual methods?

OPUS
Scientific Meeting – Online via ZOOM
OPUS
is delighted to invite you to the second in our new series of Scientific
Meetings in celebration of the Twentieth Anniversary of the journal of
Organisational and Social Dynamics
Lord
of the Flies: A psychoanalytic view of the gang and its processes*
Presenter:
Professor Mark Stein
Chair:
Dame Ruth Silver
During
this Scientific Meeting, and drawing on William Golding’s classic novel ‘Lord
of the Flies’, Mark will explore ganging phenomena. Mark argues that, following
a trauma, ganging may develop in private, public and voluntary sector
organizations, as well as in governments. He utilises psychoanalytic and
especially Kleinian ideas to examine these themes. Worryingly, he argues,
precisely because of the widespread trauma that will inevitably be left in
their wake, phenomena such as climate change, famine, wars and pandemics could
lead to the pervasive spread of ganging processes.
Mark’s
paper received the 2020 Gavin MacFadyen Memorial Essay Prize from a field of 60
essays. The prize honours the memory of Gavin MacFadyen, who was Professor of
Investigative Journalism at Goldsmiths, University of London. The Macfadyen
Prize committee described the paper as ‘a great achievement’, ‘erudite’ and
‘particularly relevant’ in the current political climate.
Mark
Stein PhD is Professor Emeritus of Leadership and Management at the University
of Leicester, and a coach and organisational consultant. He is also an
Associate Lecturer on the Tavistock Clinic’s Professional Doctorate in
Organisation and Consultation. He has held posts at Imperial College London,
London School of Economics, Brunel University and the Tavistock Institute of
Human Relations, and been a Visiting Scholar and Adjunct Professor at INSEAD,
Fontainebleau.
As
well as the Gavin Macfadyen Memorial Essay Prize, Mark has received the
European Academy of Management’s iLab prize for innovative scholarship; an
Emerald Citation of Excellence; the ‘Group & Organization Management’ best
paper prize; and the Richard Normann Prize, of which he is the only
recipient.
