Critical Management Education as a Vehicle for Emancipation: Exploring the Philosophy of Jacques Rancière
No full textThis paper aims to contribute to the literature on Critical Management Education (CME) by drawing on the work of philosopher, Jacques Rancière, whose thinking provides a means of resolving the dilemma underlying CME. It raises fundamental questions regarding the position of authority and the expertise of the critical educator, while at the same time dispelling the illusion of collaboration and consensus with students and managers. By presenting equality as an assumption to be actualised, Rancière invites us to reject the appropriation harboured by expert knowledge and the assignation of positions that this implies. On this basis, we can restructure the place of management and management education as a fertile ground for the emergence of dissensus in order to politicise what was neutralised and to give voice to those who have no voice.Critical Management Education - Critical Management Studies - Emancipation - Rancière

A market for weather risk ? Worlds in conflict and compromising.
No full textIn this paper we study the development of the market for weather derivatives in Europe. We show that weather derivatives conceived as financial products by their promoters have difficulties finding end-users. We describe the attempts of market promoters using a framework drawn from economic sociology, namely the theory provided by Boltanski and Thevenot's Economy of Worth. We derive some conclusions about the potential future of the market.Social studies of finance; Weather risk; OTC market;
The Awakening of Critical Management Studies in France: Mimicry or a Process of Coming Out?
No full textInternational audienceIn contrast to Scandinavia and countries like the United Kingdom and Australia, the emergence of Critical Management Studies (CMS) in France is a relatively recent phenomenon. This rather delayed development is made all the more enigmatic by the fact that CMS is a field that has drawn on French critical theory, as is clear, for example, from the heavy reliance on the work of Bourdieu, Foucault, Deleuze, Lacan and Derrida in research from the English-speaking world

The Role of Artifacts in Institutionalization Process: Insights from the Development of Socially Responsible Investment in France
No full textLeca, Dejean, Huault and Gond investigate how actors engage in institutional work through artefacts and how those artefacts contribute to the institutionalization of new practices. Building on an analysis of the early stages of the institutionalization of socially responsible investment (SRI) in France, they highlight three effects of artefacts as enabling, constraining and entangling practices. They also use the case study as an opportunity to sketch out an integrative approach to artefacts consistent with the tenets of institutional theory. It further sheds light on the relations between artefacts, discourse and practices in institutional processes
