“…Relying on the ways in which it was used in past research conducted using the ANTi-History method (Durepos and Mills 2012a;Bettin and Mills, 2018;Marshall and Novicevic, 2016;Tureta et al, 2020), we use this approach to delve not only into the attempted solutions for the unification of the functionalist knowledge but also into the silences associated with the failures of these attempts. To capture both these attempts and failures, we follow the webs of actor relations and their activities, particularly those that engendered controversial contradictions that emerged in the attempts to unify the functionalist paradigm.…”

“…To unpack this controversy, we use the ANTi-History approach to identify the actors in this controversy, differentiate their power and interests and examine the unity and the fragmentation of their relations during their debate about the functionality of the concept of organization as a system (Bueger and Bethke, 2014). In this use, we follow the five-step procedure proposed by Tureta et al (2020), which includes:…”

Purpose This paper aims to examine the role of James March and his actor-network in the development of a functionalist paradigm of organization theory (OT). Recognizing the important contribution of March to the development of the field of OT, the authors set out to understand the role that he played in establishing the oft-quoted development of founding a behavioral facet of the functionalist paradigm of management theory. Design/methodology/approach The authors draw on ANTi-History to study some of the key factors that contributed to the challenges associated with the creation of a functionalist paradigm of OT. ANTi-History is an amodernist method drawing attention to how history is produced, differing from a modernist method for identifying the single-most truth of a series of past events and from a postmodernist method for revealing the relativity of accounts of the past. To that end, the method of ANTi-History is to explore the intersections of a series of human (e.g. scholars), non-human (e.g. a textbook) and non-corporeal (e.g. paradigms) actors to assess their role in producing a version of the past (e.g. a unified field of OT). Findings The authors reveal how the history, producing the paradigmatic idea of OT as a supposed field of inquiry, is not an account of an actual field of inquiry as much as it is the outcome of the shared and conflicted worldviews of multiple actors. Originality/value The unique and original contribution is in the tracking over time of the relationship between a known and important actor James March and the formation of a specific paradigm of OT. In particular, the authors focus on the factors and activities that formed or failed to form OT at points in time and James March’s role in this. In the process, the authors set out to learn not simply what James March achieved but how he achieved it.

“…That said, the subsection that follows departs from the work of Venturini (2010) and the contributions of Tureta et al (2021) as a gateway for us to move through the heterogeneities characteristic of complex socio-technical systems. In this way, we present the cartography of controversies as a resource to researchers in safety science, and organizational studies, for more emphasis on relational aspects.…”

“…We will thus present a brief historical overview of ANT, including essential concepts about controversies, political ontologies, and performativity (Law & Urry, 2004) and its methodological approach. We review organizational studies (Moraes, Andion, & Pinho, 2017;Tureta, Américo, & Clegg, 2021;Hussenot, 2014;Bussular, Burtet, & Antonello, 2019) that somehow contributed to the understanding of relationships and research steps and describe the cartography of controversy method (Tureta et al, 2021).…”

Actor-Network Theory for Safety Science: Reassembling Social and Technical Elements

2023

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Recent studies suggest challenges in developing safety science: broadening perspectives and methodologies for sociotechnical work comprehension and incentives so that the complexity effects can be analyzed with greater depth and safety research can become politically oriented in its models. This study explores the contributions of Actor-Network Theory as a methodological resource to reassemble human and non-human elements in safety science research, especially when considering the dynamic reality, variability, and uncertainty characteristic of complex sociotechnical systems. In light of the theoretical aspects of the Actor-Network Theory, such as controversies, political ontologies, and enactment, we discuss possibilities for the cartography of controversies in safety science studies. The discussion contributes, thus, with new methodological connections to research in safety science, exploring associations and new positions among different realities in the field.

“…Analyzing this process, the authors conclude that although memory is an important resource that can be used to craft identity narratives, it also provides a temporal anchor to prevent organizations from drifting away from their fundamental essence because of future-oriented plans. Tureta, Américo, and Clegg (2021) offer an important methodological contribution to the development of ANTihistory research. They argue that controversy analysis provides a promising path to the ANTi-historical study of the past.…”

Our goals for this editorial are threefold. First, we contextualize the growing interest of management and organization scholars in matters of history, memory, and the past. Despite the increasing number of historical organization studies, functionalism and functional-interpretivism remain the dominant approaches in management and organization studies (MOS). Moreover, because European and North American scholars are overrepresented in the literature, analysis of the historical impact of global trade and multinational organizations on the relationship between the global North and South is limited. Second, we map the literature that connects history, memory, and the past to organizations and organizing. We provide an overview of MOS scholars' initial efforts to develop humanist approaches to organization studies and discuss the role history plays in informing epistemological, theoretical, methodological, and empirical conversations in the field. Third, we highlight specifically how the articles in this special issue contribute to the body of historical organization literature.
