The Noisy, the Vital and the Ambiguous:
When: Friday, July 8, 2022, 16:00–17:30 CEST
Where: TC.0.02 ---> WU interactive campus map
Organizations are multi-faceted social phenomena that comprise cognitive, material, affective, and aesthetic aspects. The
sub-plenary will open a debate on the role of “beauty” in and around organizations. The “beautiful” can take on many different
meanings and facets: it can manifest both in tangible and intangible forms; it is culturally and temporally anchored; and
it can be both an aspect of organizing and an outcome of organizing.
The panelists will discuss issues around the ambiguity inherent in the value of high-end luxury goods, efforts to configure
the world as something worthy of intellectual interaction, and the queer aesthetic of imperfection that points to the embodied
and sensual possibilities of incompleteness.
