“…Our project's methods respond to a growing interest in the social sciences in interdisciplinary, multimodal, creative, sensory and inventive methods (Jewitt et al, 2016;Mannay, 2015;Watson, 2020), drawing from the arts (Leavy, 2017;Pelias, 2019), crafting and making (Grant et al, 2020;McGovern, 2019), play materials such as Lego blocks (Heath et al, 2019), walking and other physical movement methods (Reinhold et al, 2018;Springgay and Truman, 2017), design methods (Michael, 2016;Wilkie et al, 2017), sensory ethnography (Dicks, 2013;Jewitt and Leder Mackley, 2018;Pink, 2015) and more-than-representational inquiry (Vannini and Vannini, 2019;Zembylas, 2017).…”

As the number of digital technologies expands, entering more domains of everyday life, people’s activities, bodies and preferences are rendered into constantly changing flows of digitised information. The interdisciplinary field of critical data studies has emerged in response. In this article, we outline the design and development of methods employed in our new project ‘Living with Personal Data’ as a move towards expanding the knowledge base and methodological approaches of critical data studies. Our approach takes up more-than-human theoretical perspectives and research-creation methods to elicit the affective and multisensory contexts of people’s feelings, practices and imaginaries concerning their digital data. We describe a set of workshops established to experiment with some new methods we have devised for our project’s fieldwork. The article ends with some reflections on what these theories and methods can offer for a reimagined digital data studies that can acknowledge and surface more-than-human dimensions.

“…This perspective has been subject to scrutiny in recent debates which have advanced understandings of resistance informed by consideration of the specific contexts in which ‘things happen’ (Daskalaki & Kokkinidis, 2017, p. 1304; Courpasson et al, 2017; Courpasson & Vallas, 2016; Juris, 2008). To move away from the dichotomy of confrontational/effective versus non-confrontational/ineffective resistance, paying attention to the spatio-temporal context in which resistance emerges enables greater nuance in consideration of different modalities of resistance, such as mundane and everyday politics (Fernández, Martí, & Farchi, 2017), infrapolitics (Böhm, Spicer, & Fleming, 2008; Mumby, Thomas, Martí, & Seidl, 2017) and post-recognition politics (Fleming 2016; Reinhold, Schnugg, & Barthold, 2018). It also allows the expansion of our thinking of resistance from ‘in’ to ‘around’ organizations (Mumby et al, 2017).…”

The paper focuses on affective resistance with an emphasis on the context in which resistant action emerges, and on the liberating power of laughter. It adopts the approach of ‘affective ethnographic history’ to examine the activities of the Polish oppositional artistic collective, the Orange Alternative (OA), between 1986 and 1989. The OA organized interventions in the streets of Polish cities which engaged the general public as participants. The focus of the interventions was on the creation of affective atmospheres leading to affective transitions in the participants from fear to the lack of fear. The paper contributes to scholarly debates on resistance in three ways: (1) it proposes that resistance and its efficacy should be assessed not in terms of the form of resistance, but through consideration of resistant action in relation to the context of its emergence; (2) it demonstrates how affective resistance operates through affective atmospheres that result in affective transitions to the state of lack of fear; and (3) it reconsiders the significance of laughter as an affective force that has liberating consequences both within a particular resistance assemblage and beyond it.

“…More specifically, reflections into theoretical approaches in organizational research regarding ABIs show their effects beyond immediate outcomes. These include the contribution of ABIs in sense-making and mindfulness in organizations [8]; their contributions to experiencing meaningful work [49]; their contributions to creative processes and organizational change through liminality and rites of passage [50]; and their relevance concerning materiality in learning in organizational contexts [51], organizational aesthetics [52], and embodied cognition [53][54][55]. Such literature already reveals the entanglement of effects on individual levels with organizational needs and goals.…”

Artists are often seen as innovators and producers of creative and extraordinary new ideas. Additionally, experiencing art and artistic processes is an important opportunity for learning and exploration. Thus, corporations and scientific organizations have experimented with initiatives that generate artscience collaboration, such as fellowships, long-term collaborations with artists, and artist-in-residence programs. Looking at outcomes in the long-term, it is possible to identify important contributions to scientific, technological, and artistic fields that stem from artscience collaboration opportunities in organizations. On the other hand, it is often difficult to define immediate tangible outcomes of such processes as innovation as interdisciplinary interaction and learning processes are valuable experiences that do not always manifest directly in outcomes that can be measured. Drawing from cases of artscience programs and qualitative interviews with program managers, scientists, and artists, this article explores how artscience collaboration in an organization adds value and helps overcome organizational challenges regardless of such outcomes. By shifting the focus from the outcome to the process of artscience collaboration, it is possible to discover in more depth value-added contributions of artscience experiences on an individual level (e.g., new ways of knowing and thinking, understanding of materials and processes, and learning). Moreover, such contributions tell stories of connecting the process of artscience programs to the organizations’ goals of developing a new generation of leaders and driving a more adaptive, innovative culture. These benefits of artscience opportunities need to be supported by managerial activities in the organization. Thus, it enables a more differentiated understanding of possible contributions of artscience collaboration to organizations and helps to define the best model to create such opportunities. The article also recommends future research directions to further advance artscience collaboaration, especially in light of pertinent movements such as STEAM and Open Innovation, and promising developments in related fields such as neuro-aesthetics.
