The aim of the research was to study the phenomenon of strained social ties, identify experiences of counter-movement, and explore the overt and covert dynamics. Results highlight that: (1) sociality is not traceable and understandable in the traditional frames and actions; (2) sociality needs mobilising actions that can be fed by local individual and collective resources; (3) fragmentation is not answered through the organisation of a militant action with traditional forms of social struggles; and (4) action is oriented to simple daily practice (for example, conviviality) and to the care for the spaces where one lives. From a methodological point of view, it is important to underline the usefulness of LP as a tool for inquiry in the social research at least from two perspectives. The first relates to the possibility for the researcher, to study and understand (psycho)social dynamics at a deeper level. The second perspective of usefulness of LP is that, unlike other instruments of qualitative research, it focuses on the subjectivity of participants' experience and therefore creates a space for a collective co-creation of knowledge.","PeriodicalId":41413,"journal":{"name":"Organisational and Social Dynamics","volume":"97 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2023-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139299465","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the last months of World War II, General Dietrich von Choltitz has orders to destroy Paris as Allied Forces move towards the city, and the Swedish diplomat Raoul Nordling is asking the general not to do it. The two protagonists can be interpreted as ego and alter ego, with Nordling representing the split-off self-parts of the general who strive for freedom and justice and experience life as lovable and worth living. Since the outcome of the film is well known, the film tries to find answers whether and how the general, representative of what was described by Fromm as an authoritarian character, will move from collective obedience to individual decisions of conscience. When the author watched Diplomacy, she was shocked about von Choltitz's statements that he had, in the past, carried out extermination orders of the Jews in Sevastopol. Even though this statement is historically not clearly documented, the participation of the Wehrmacht in war crimes is undisputed. The author has to admit that she—as a daughter of a Wehrmacht soldier—has a tendency to trivialise this involvement.","PeriodicalId":41413,"journal":{"name":"Organisational and Social Dynamics","volume":"55 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2023-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139292088","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Emotionally difficult work has the capacity to distract an organisation from its task, yet Zoos Victoria is able to focus and deliver on its primary purpose. The article expands on Jane Chapman's theory of \"Corruption and hatred of task\" (1999) and \"Guarding against corruption\" (2019) to understand how well Zoos Victoria organises itself. I propose that the theory may be extended in two ways: First, ambivalence may contribute to the hatred of task. Workers both enjoy and hate holding animals in captivity. Second, the worker's practices introduce an extension to Chapman's frame-work for guarding against corruption of task. Staff are aided by animals in coping with the challenges of the work. Chapman's theory contributes to understanding why Zoos Victoria remains true to purpose and is able to carry out its work effectively. This extension also provides understanding for improving the experiences of workers in general. Climate change is increasing the intensity of challenge and disruption for many organisations worldwide. As a case study Zoos Victoria offers a signal for other organisations needing to meet these emerging challenges.","PeriodicalId":41413,"journal":{"name":"Organisational and Social Dynamics","volume":"14 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2023-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139305297","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This article describes patterns of conscious and unconscious thinking, emotion, and containment in a group of business leaders during a disruptive earth system trauma. The context is the Christchurch, New Zealand earthquakes of 2010 through 2014 and the critical incident narratives that inform the mental stance leaders assumed with their organisations. There has been little research on leaders' evolving mental stance or how they \"show up\" in traumatic times, in terms of the practices and behaviours they exhibit, and how these in turn manifest as containing environments within disrupted systems. I call these environments \"islands of social awareness\". Within these refugia, the organisation, with its collective sense-making potential and action optionality, cooperates on the critical tasks of survival, human connection, and activation of resilience. I propose that turbulent social unconscious processes and the leader response to consequent emotional arousal ultimately underlie leaders' motivation and behaviour in times of disruption. These same perspectives may be applied to other complex earth mega-system crises, informing organisational preparedness for extraordinary events.","PeriodicalId":41413,"journal":{"name":"Organisational and Social Dynamics","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2023-07-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43545768","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The doctoral study described here identified seven themes and related social defences characterising the experience of working in such organisations: exclusion, shame, sexualised excitement and threat, splitting, a sense of fragility, an uncertain relationship with authority, and difficulties with grieving. The emotional flavour of these social defences resonates with the climate emotions proposed by the existing body of climate psychology literature.\u0000A tentative proposal is made that working in this field constitutes a traumatic epistemological, social, and emotional experience; and that the fact of the traumatic experience is the “unthought known” in this work. Organisations that engage the public on climate change, it is proposed, may experience a trauma-influenced basic assumption mentality and may unconsciously activate a version of the “internal establishment” that exists to defend against the unthought known, with the establishment unleashing perverse dynamics and other defensive mechanisms such as shame, with a particular focus on maintaining the split polarities and thereby preventing genuine connection with others who are different.","PeriodicalId":41413,"journal":{"name":"Organisational and Social Dynamics","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2023-07-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48639118","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
