Abstract

This Perspectives article delves into the archives of Organization Studies covering the period 1986-2010 to advance and develop our thinking of politics and political thinking in organization studies. In our Benjamin-inflected reading (Benjamin, 2002), we look for the revolutionary energies that reside in what may at first appear as perhaps ‘outmoded’ articles in an intellectual environment where the obsolescence of ideas and concepts seems to increase at pace. The purpose of the excavation of our six chosen texts is to build a constellation of what we call ‘interstitial positions’ that reside within and outside the analytical contours of these texts. In this way we bring these texts into a critical condition in the hope that their constellation can act as a real force in the present and help illuminate our contemporary situation. We might then renew our sense of possibility and choice about the organizational worlds we inhabit and to open future avenues for thinking politics informed by the distinctive disciplinary traditions of organization studies.

组织研究中的政治学：多学科传统和间隙立场

这篇《视角》文章深入研究了 1986-2010 年期间的《组织研究》档案，以推进和发展我们对组织研究中的政治和政治思维的思考。在我们以本雅明（Benjamin）为灵感的阅读中（本雅明，2002 年），在思想和概念过时的速度似乎越来越快的知识环境中，我们寻找那些乍看起来可能 "过时 "的文章中蕴含的革命性能量。对我们所选的六篇文章进行挖掘的目的，是建立一个我们称之为 "间隙位置 "的星座，这些位置存在于这些文章的分析轮廓之内和之外。通过这种方式，我们将这些文本带入一种批判的状态，希望它们的组合能够成为当下的一种真正的力量，并帮助照亮我们的当代处境。这样，我们就可以重新认识我们所居住的组织世界的可能性和选择性，并在组织研究的独特学科传统的指引下，开辟未来的政治思考之路。

期刊介绍： Organisation Studies (OS) aims to promote the understanding of organizations, organizing and the organized, and the social relevance of that understanding. It encourages the interplay between theorizing and empirical research, in the belief that they should be mutually informative. It is a multidisciplinary peer-reviewed journal which is open to contributions of high quality, from any perspective relevant to the field and from any country. Organization Studies is, in particular, a supranational journal which gives special attention to national and cultural similarities and differences worldwide. This is reflected by its international editorial board and publisher and its collaboration with EGOS, the European Group for Organizational Studies. OS publishes papers that fully or partly draw on empirical data to make their contribution to organization theory and practice. Thus, OS welcomes work that in any form draws on empirical work to make strong theoretical and empirical contributions. If your paper is not drawing on empirical data in any form, we advise you to submit your work to Organization Theory – another journal under the auspices of the European Group for Organizational Studies (EGOS) – instead.
