Dear all,
Please find below the CFP for the 5th Organizations, Artifacts and Practices (OAP) workshop which will take place 7th and 8th December 2015 in Sydney at UTS.
Please note that the workshop will be organized just before APROS 2015 in Sydney (from 9th to 11th December).
The topic of OAP 2015 will be “Managerial techniques and materiality in management and organization studies”.
The event will be open to more general proposals in relationship with the orientations of OAP, i.e. Science and Technology Studies (STS) applied to organization and organizing (materiality, technology, performativity, semiotics, symbolic artifacts, time, space, process…).
For more information: http://workshopoap.dauphine.fr or workshopoap at dauphine.fr<mailto:workshopoap at dauphine.fr>
Looking forward to meeting you in Sydney!

5th Organizations, Artifacts and Practices (OAP) Workshop
Managerial techniques and Materiality
in Management and Organization Studies
7-8 December 2015,
UTS (Sydney), Australia
Co-chairs:
Nathalie Mitev
(London School of Economics)
François-Xavier de Vaujany
(Université Paris-Dauphine)
Stewart Clegg (UTS)
Stephen Smith (Macquarie University)
Objectives
The first OAP workshop was launched in May of 2011 at Université Paris-Dauphine with the goal of facilitating discussions among scholars from various disciplines (e.g. management, anthropology, sociology, organization studies, ergonomics, philosophy, psychology…) who collectively share an interest in Science and Technology Studies (STS) in the context of organization and organizing. OAP deals with topics such as Materiality, Technology, Practices, Sociomateriality, Performativity, Iconography, Process, Time, Space, Legitimacy, Symbolic artifacts and Managerial Techniques in the context of organization and organizing. It draws on various theoretical perspectives (phenomenology, pragmatism, institutionalism, design, post-marxism, critical realism, among others).
The fifth session will concentrate on the subject of managerial techniques, i.e. the social and material assemblage used by some actors to ‘guide’ (i.e. channel, facilitate, make meaningful, rationalize…) the collective activity of other actors.
Managerial techniques ‘are’ now everywhere in organizations. They are designed and diffused by actors such as IT and management consultants, publishers and engineers. Many institutional systems produce and diffuse a growing amount of more or less standardized managerial techniques.
OAP 2015 will particularly explore the valuation and legitimation practices or processes involving managerial techniques, their modalities and specificities. More generally, it will be devoted to the performativity of managerial techniques, their sociomaterial nature and the role of calculative devices in organizing processes. Practice-based, neo-institutional, phenomenological, activity-based, pragmatic, foucaldian, cultural, political, symbolic approaches, among others, will be welcome.
This fifth workshop will also aim at shedding light on the following topics, among others:
- Managerial techniques and their sociomateriality;
- Managerial techniques and their performative dimension;
- The role of managerial techniques in managerial control;
- Fads and fashions in managerial techniques adoption and the place of materiality in this process;
- The symbolic dimension of managerial techniques;
- The relationship between organizational space and managerial techniques;
- The relationship between managerial techniques’ adoption and organizational legitimacy;
- The entanglement or imbrication between the material and social dimensions of managerial techniques;
- The affordance of managerial techniques;
- Historical perspectives on managerial techniques and their material underpinnings.
Of course, OAP 2015 will also be open to more general contributions about Science and Technology studies, sociomateriality, anthropology of technology or more general theoretical and empirical work about materialization and performativity processes in organizations and organizing.
Submission to OAP 2015
Those interested in participating must submit an extended abstract of no more than 1,000 words on the EasyChair system (https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=oap2015) by April 29th , 2015.
