Citizenship in Organizations: Practicing the Immeasurable

Editat de Suzan Langenberg, Fleur Beyers
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 23 aug 2017
This book explores the concept of citizenship, and the role that organizations can or do play in its creation, stimulation and control. Offering multiple organizational perspectives (private and public organisations) and their relation to several types of output (citizenship, poverty, profit, employability), this work presents a rich collection of philosophical thoughts and practices on the subject of citizenship within and without the organizational context. Particular attention is given to this human aspect, an element of unpredictability, a gut feeling, the unknown... something immeasurable that plays a part in human relations and how they organize themselves. Citizenship in Organizations casts new light on the impact of organizations to the notion of citizenship.

Textul de pe ultima copertă

This book brings together a wide variety of meta-reflections on shifts in economy, power relations and organizing in confrontation with practices of citizenship. The focus is directed towards the position of (im)measurability of certain changes on meta-level within (organized) practices of citizenship. The organization or ‘organizing’ is the turntable, the metaphor, through which we can exemplify the emergence of growing citizen consciousness. In short, we see ‘organizing’ as the central metaphor wherewith the shift of the societal paradigm 
can be tested/verified/examined. In this book, different perspectives shall be represented on how people develop through organizing. It is more or less a residue of invisible processes that take place in and with people, through changes in discourses and in founding new types of communities and networks such as the creation of alternative local (exchange)trade opportunities. Citizenship implies exercise. On behalf of their experience with, through or while working in an organization, people ‘make’ their own membership of a community, an organization and/or a society.
