Abstract

The Baradian optical metaphor of diffraction grounds a methodology at the core of Feminist new materialism. It considers materiality, included the corporeal materiality of the body, as vital and vibrant and thus it may be the entry point for exploring embodiment in sensemaking. Diffraction is put to work to explore embodied sensemaking of researchers by performing a diffractive reading-writing of two notable sensemaking texts that make use of the Mann Gulch disaster, Weick’s (1993) account of the Mann Gulch disaster with sensemaking breaking down, and Introna’s (2019) re-appreciation of this disaster, which develops sensemaking as always already present. Based on two neologisms, comprising a noun and a verb - fire-burning and death-dying - a diffractive grating is built for discussing reading and writing as embodied sensemaking activities. As a result, the concept of sensemaking may be appreciated not only as a cognitive but also as a material and affective process. Diffractive reading-writing, as a methodology, contributes to organization theory an ethical alternative to critique and grounds a corporeal ethics of more-than-human care in academia that may help researchers to make embodied sense of the research phenomena they study.

解开研究人员的具体感觉制造:曼恩·古奇灾难的衍射阅读写作
衍射的巴拉迪光学隐喻奠定了女性主义新唯物主义核心的方法论基础。它认为物质性,包括身体的物质性,是至关重要和充满活力的,因此它可能是探索感官制造中体现的切入点。Diffraction致力于探索研究人员的具体感知,通过对两篇著名的感知文本进行衍射读写,这两篇文本利用了曼恩-古奇灾难,Weick(1993)对曼恩-古奇灾难的描述,以及Introna(2019)对这场灾难的重新评价,这场灾难发展了感知,使感知始终存在。基于两个新词,包括一个名词和一个动词——火烧和死亡——构建了一个衍射光栅,讨论阅读和写作作为具体的感官制造活动。因此,感觉制造的概念不仅可以被视为一种认知过程,还可以被视是一种物质和情感过程。衍射阅读写作作为一种方法论,有助于组织理论成为批判的伦理选择,并为学术界超越人类关怀的物质伦理奠定基础,这可能有助于研究人员对他们研究的研究现象有具体的理解。

期刊介绍: The Scandinavian Journal of Management (SJM) provides an international forum for innovative and carefully crafted research on different aspects of management. We promote dialogue and new thinking around theory and practice, based on conceptual creativity, reasoned reflexivity and contextual awareness. We have a passion for empirical inquiry. We promote constructive dialogue among researchers as well as between researchers and practitioners. We encourage new approaches to the study of management and we aim to foster new thinking around management theory and practice. We publish original empirical and theoretical material, which contributes to understanding management in private and public organizations. Full-length articles and book reviews form the core of the journal, but focused discussion-type texts (around 3.000-5.000 words), empirically or theoretically oriented, can also be considered for publication. The Scandinavian Journal of Management is open to different research approaches in terms of methodology and epistemology. We are open to different fields of management application, but narrow technical discussions relevant only to specific sub-fields will not be given priority.
