“…However, although desire is an immanent and productive force that brings about change, the relations of power that it creates can lead to antiproduction , where productive relations are prevented from forming (Goodchild, 1996, p. 73). In asserting that ‘no society can tolerate a position of real desire without its structures of exploitation, servitude, and hierarchy being compromised’, Deleuze and Guattari (1983, p. 116) acknowledge that if the body’s desires were fully untethered from social formations, societies would collapse.…”

Power AND performativity AND process. Three concepts. Three theoretical perspectives that shape current studies of organizing, of organizations, how they come into existence and how they are maintained. Three distinct trajectories that have already been traced; their separate articulations creating tension, paradox, and contradiction. Can we resist existing conceptualizations to create new immanent relations? Can we dissolve the necessity of binary logics, of order, of finality, and embrace simultaneity and multiplicity? In this paper we reimagine the interplay between power and performativity, embracing the role of resistance within the emergent micro-processes of organizational becoming. To do this we take inspiration from the work of Gilles Deleuze.

“…Assemblages are conceived as passional – constellations of desire/wish. Desire/wish is used in assemblage thinking as a productive force or a ‘spontaneous emergence’ that generates relationships through a coming-together of multiplicities (Goodchild, 1996: 4).…”

Encountering pandas and their valleys in precarious times: A tourism assemblage perspective

This paper analyses the precarity of tourism in viral pandemic times through an analysis of animal-human relations in China’s panda and valley tourism at Dajiuzhai. Drawing on a tour to Dajiuzhai to see giant pandas and the valleys of Jiuzhai, which was disrupted midway by increased viral infections, we trace ethnographically how disruptions in tourism emerge in the micro-setting of a single viral-hit tour and highlight the roles of natural agents, pandas, valleys and virus play, alongside humans in tourism’s fluid assemblages. Desire/wish to encounter pandas motivated the formation of a fluid constellation of tourism objects, species and humans, which was aligned towards the goal of a stable tourism experience but persistently disturbed. Animal-human relation-based tourism assemblage at Dajiuzhai was found to be a fluid spatiality that coped with Covid-19 disruptions through responses at attractions involving health checks and declarations but remained precarious despite its transformational potentialities.

“…For Deleuze and Guattari (1986), the main stabilizing and destabilizing force of an assemblage is the notion of ‘desire/wish’ (Müller and Schurr, 2016), which is best understood as a productive force, rather than the symptom of lack (Gao, 2013; Goodchild, 1996). Desire/wish links materiality and immateriality within the socio‐material assemblage, introducing the affective role of emotions.…”

Diaspora as socio‐material assemblage: Political agency in the Kurdish freedom movement's representations of homeland

The proliferation of diasporas has expanded the intricate web of political relations on a global scale. Transnationality has increasingly replaced methodological nationalism, and relationality blurred diaspora's boundaries. This article argues for framing diasporas as socio‐material assemblages to capture the political agency of diasporas in action in a transnational space. This highlights diasporas’ ability to forge their transnational political actorness and to expand their power of attractiveness. By tracing ideas and things behind the essential task of representing the homeland, this research explores the connections of the Kurdish freedom movement in Europe, making three main arguments. First, it outlines the existence of transnational infrastructures of solidarity, which highlight a multi‐ethnic plurality at work. Second, it illuminates the diasporas’ role in the south–north flow of knowledge and political influence. Third, the article examines the desire which stabilizes the assemblage and makes the circulation of ideas possible and smooth.
