Abstract

ABSTRACT This paper offers a reflexive ethnographic account to problematize conventional approaches to academic teaching that focus purely on rational, disembodied, and linear production and consumption of knowledge, in neoliberal, metric-driven academic environments. Interweaving diary notes and reflexive dialogical exchanges with images of arts-based teaching, we discuss how we might engage both students and teachers in embodied and relational forms of learning and knowing grounded in experiences of unknowing and unlearning. We discuss the potentials of exposing in the classroom the messy, ‘dirty’, dreamy, sensuous, embodied, affective and artistic work that informs teaching differently to disrupt conventional Business School pedagogies. Engaging with such creative possibilities might, we suggest, meaningfully transform management education and enable educators to cultivate an epistemic humility that transcends the ego. Therefore, this meshwork of teaching against the grain might also help resist and hopefully reframe contextual constraints and hierarchical dynamics impeding meaningful and relational Business School pedagogies.

逆格教学网：管理教育的体现、影响与艺术

摘要本文提供了一个自反的人种学解释，以解决传统的学术教学方法的问题，这些方法纯粹关注理性、无实体和线性的知识生产和消费，在新自由主义、计量驱动的学术环境中。将日记笔记和反思性对话交流与艺术教学的图像交织在一起，我们讨论了如何让学生和教师都参与到基于不知情和遗忘经验的具体和关系形式的学习和认识中。我们讨论了在课堂上展示混乱、“肮脏”、梦幻、感性、具体化、情感和艺术作品的潜力，这些作品以不同的方式影响教学，以打破传统的商学院教学法。我们建议，参与这种创造性的可能性可能会有意义地改变管理教育，并使教育工作者能够培养超越自我的认识谦逊。因此，这种违背常规的教学网络也可能有助于抵制并有望重塑阻碍有意义和关系的商学院教学法的情境约束和等级动态。

期刊介绍： Culture and Organization was founded in 1995 as Studies in Cultures, Organizations and Societies . It represents the intersection of academic disciplines that have developed distinct qualitative, empirical and theoretical vocabularies to research organization, culture and related social phenomena. Culture and Organization features refereed articles that offer innovative insights and provoke discussion. It particularly offers papers which employ ethnographic, critical and interpretive approaches, as practised in such disciplines as organizational, communication, media and cultural studies, which go beyond description and use data to advance theoretical reflection. The Journal also presents papers which advance our conceptual understanding of organizational phenomena.
