Abstract

ABSTRACT How can artistic intervention facilitate empathic engagement with work-related uncertainty in postgraduate management education? To examine this, we theorize artistic intervention as creating an interspace of temporarily suspended organizational norms through which empathy as relational knowing can emerge between participants. Drawing on an ethnographic study entitled Becoming in Academia, a nine-month artistic intervention conducted by a group of doctoral students in a Nordic business school (NBS), this paper highlights how an interspace for empathic engagement with work-related uncertainty was created by the participants through three intervention activities: aligning oneself to the other, narrating a collective validation, and acknowledging the agency of the other. In contributing to arts-based management education research, the paper theorizes and empirically elaborates on empathic knowing as emerging from activities of artistic intervention, opening an interspace, and providing new insight into arts-based methods as means for engaging with uncertainty within management education.

移情空间：通过管理教育中的艺术干预来应对与工作相关的不确定性

摘要：在研究生管理教育中，艺术干预如何促进与工作相关的不确定性的移情参与？为了检验这一点，我们将艺术干预理论化为创造一个暂时中止的组织规范的空间，通过这个空间，作为关系认知的同理心可以在参与者之间产生。这篇论文借鉴了一项名为“成为学术界”的人种学研究，这是一项由北欧商学院（NBS）的一群博士生进行的为期九个月的艺术干预，强调了参与者是如何通过三种干预活动创造出一个与工作相关的不确定性的移情参与空间的：，叙述集体验证，并承认他人的能动性。在为基于艺术的管理教育研究做出贡献的过程中，本文对移情认知进行了理论和实证阐述，认为移情认知是从艺术干预活动中产生的，打开了一个空间，并对基于艺术的方法作为应对管理教育中不确定性的手段提供了新的见解。

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.
