One turn … and now another one: Do the turn to practice and the turn to affect have something in common?

The turn to practice has been prominent in the community of Management Learning and still occupies an important place in the debate that approaches practice from the standpoint of learning and knowing. On considering how the turn to practice contributes to the ongoing conversation on post-epistemologies, one notes a convergence with another 'turn'. The turn to affect started more or less in the same years as the turn to practice, but the conversation between the two has not yet been fully articulated. I argue that both share a concern for (1) a relational epistemology, (2) the body and (3) sociomateriality. To show how they may interact, three vignettes are presented to illustrate their commonalities and how they try to produce in the reader an affective reaction. This article is also the outcome of an experimentation conducted with a visual writer during the Organizational Learning, Knowledge and Capabilities conference in Milan, and it proposes a reflection on the limits of representationalism.

“…Dealing with situated knowledge entails important methodological implications , with privileged attention to fieldwork and a view on proximity to operational practices, through methodological approaches that are functional ( Charreire-Petit and Huault, 2008 ) to grasp elements of singularity, detect meanings, cultures, interpretations, and attributions of meaning to events and actions. The knowledge generated and acquired in this way seems to facilitate the access to possible windows of understanding on working and organizational culture; on circulating criteria of utility (what is needed and not needed) and judgment (what is considered adequate and inadequate, appropriate and inappropriate, and right and wrong); on representations, readings, and ways of seeing and thinking; and on routines and meanings more or less shared by subjects about their own reality and organization.…”

The paper addresses the epistemological and theoretical assumptions that underpin the concept of Work and Organizational Psychology as idiographic, situated, and transformative social science. Positioning the connection between uniqueness and generalization inside the debate around organization studies as applied approaches, the contribution highlights the ontological, gnoseological, and methodological implications at stake. The use of practical instead of scientific rationality is explored, through the perspective of a hermeneutic lens, underlining the main features connected to the adoption of an epistemology of practice. Specifically, the contribution depicts the configuration of the applied research as a relational practice, embedded in the unfolding process of generating knowledge dealing with concrete social contexts and particular social objects. The discussion of a case study regarding a field research project allows one to point out challenges and constraints connected to the enactment of the research process as a social accomplishment.

“…The everyday activities serve as the object of analysis whilst being teleological for achieving the service work and forming activity configurations (Schatzki, 2010, 2012). The constructivists’ insistence on the complex, dynamic and context-based nature of knowledge is hence highly relevant (Charreire Petit & Huault, 2008), whilst favouring closeness, complexity and locality for the researchers (Thorpe, 2008; Rasche & Chia, 2009).…”

Global collaboration in knowledge intensive firms: The role of activity configurations

AbstractThis paper discusses how transnational knowledge intensive firms manage complexity across multiple locations, integrating various functional specializations and catering to multifaceted customer demands. Practice theory is used to help us understand collaboration among experts across national borders. By exploring what experts do and analyzing their practices transnationally, different configurations to provide services were found. In total, six configuration types are identified: bilateral, trilateral, chain, star, network and co-location. These configurations differently relate to three interdependent axes: coordinated actions, interaction modes and spatial dimensions. The configurations expose the relevant integrative and responsive settings. The paper contributes to the international organization literature by extending, elaborating and providing examples of transnationality; and to practice theory by exposing shapes and qualitative complexity of transnational collaboration and service provision.
