Anotace knihy

In this edited volume, we question whether our current imagination of organization is predicated on what Stoler calls the 'well-intended conditions of disregard', which she describes as the 'ability to excuse oneself from wrought engagement', a 'refusal to witness', and a self-imposed 'blinding near-sightedness of circumscribed community'. Trump; Brexit; Climate Chaos; Terror: the apocalypse looms large in the Zeitgeist. Could and should this not provide the fulcrum for somehow (re-)imagining organization? We take our inspiration here from Fredric Jameson who wrote in the context of representing capitalism: "Someone once said that it is easier to imagine the end of the world than to imagine the end of capitalism. We can now revise that and witness the attempt to imagine capitalism by way of imagining the end of the world." On this note, we invite contributions to this edited volume that conceptually, empirically and/or analytically seek to break through the 'well-intended conditions of disregard' and inquire into those alternative spaces and associations that literary/fictional works open up for bold organizational thinking; spaces and associations that may be variously disturbing, self-destructive, and/or abyssal in nature and which make us struggle against "that something that terrifies us all, that something that cows and spurs us on". We call this Organization 2666 .
