CLIO is pleased to host professor Julie Fabbri (profile, fabbri@em-lyon.com) from Emlyon Business School, OCE Research Center, for the seminar titled “From Liminality to Liminalization: A Socio-historic Exploration of Work Practices Through Fiction” . The seminar will be held on March 15th, 2019, 2:00PM-3.30PM, at LUISS, Viale Romania Campus, Room 202.
Abstract:
Liminality is at the heart of numerous research about organizations and organizing. We focus here on the context of “new” work practices. By means of two TV series, Ally McBeal and Silicon Valley, two different periods and two sets of practices are captured and systematically compared. We focus the comparison on the liminalization process, how liminality emerge in work practices spatially, temporally and emotionally. Merleau-Ponty and Deleuze are used as two distinct but interrelated perspectives to describe this process. Our work results in different categories which could help to condense and describe further ongoing ethnographical work about new work practices and their relationships with emotions and society.
Keywords:
Liminality; Liminalization; New work practices; Fiction; History; Merleau-Ponty; Deleuze.
