The Cinder and the Furrow on the Sand: Deconstructing Organizing for an Ethics of Survivance
No full textDeconstruction has been a long-standing method used for analysing texts within the framework of a narratological tradition that underscores its discursive and linguistic nature. In contrast, we propose to understand deconstruction as a therapeutic endeavour for the ongoing revelation of repressed elements characterising organisational life, such as materiality, bodies, and Otherness. This perspective acknowledges the character of the trace as an archetypal model of textuality, a fusion of materiality and ideal that discourse analysis can only partially capture. In the organising realm, silence becomes a trace, alongside bodies, artefacts and the entirety of materiality. Viewing deconstruction as a therapeutic process also allows for exploring the repressed in terms of a différance which reveals existential interdependence. Through the process of deconstruction, we unveil the inherent and fundamental unity within differences and oppositions, thereby acknowledging our shared existence with the Other. Processing individual and collective suppressed elements inherent to organising thus lays the groundwork for an ethics of survivance finding its ideal momentum in the mortal encounter with the limits and finiteness of others
The sonic side of organizing: theorizing acoustemology for blind and visually impaired people's inclusion in the workplace
Full text linkDrawing on ethnography, this study investigates the treatment of blind and visually impaired people (BVIP) in the workplace adopting a sociomaterial framework based on acoustemology. This approach concerns the process of knowing with and through sound. In line with interest in multimodality within organization studies, acoustemology recognizes the auditory as a way to access systems of meanings, negotiations, co-constructions, discrimination and culture within organizations. Considering visual impairment as a culture, this research explores the way in which sound and sonic technologies act as relational (both social and material) channels through which BVIP conduct themselves in the workplace, interact with sighted co-workers, gain recognition and produce and reproduce a system of meanings. Through acoustemology, this study contributes to the issue of organizational inclusion of people with disability proposing dis-continuity, a concept that helps explore inclusion as a practice that involves alternative epistemologies and brings about changes in organizational culture
Il formalismo testamentario e le tecnologie assistive per le persone con disabilità: profili giuridici e organizzativi
No full textLe tecnologie assistive, come da ultimo potenziate anche grazie all'intelligenza artificiale, vengono sempre più spesso impiegate dalle persone con disabilità per riuscire ad esprimere la propria volontà. Tuttavia, l’attuale impianto normativo non sempre consente l’utilizzo di strumenti tecnologici per la conclusione di validi negozi giuridici. Più in particolare, nel presente contributo l’attenzione sarà focalizzata sull’analisi delle norme che disciplinano le successioni a causa di morte per mostrare come il rigido formalismo testamentario che caratterizza il nostro ordinamento giuridico sia di ostacolo al perfezionamento di un valido testamento da parte di chi può esprimersi soltanto per il tramite di devices tecnologici. Saranno inoltre esaminate le ricadute sociali, nella prospettiva degli studi organizzativi, delle contraddizioni derivanti dalla mancanza di coordinamento tra sviluppo tecnologico, quadro normativo di riferimento ed esigenze specifiche delle persone con disabilità

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
