Overcoming Dichotomies through Space: the Contribution of Dialectical Materialism to Organization Studies

Abstract: O ne of the most debated choices in every social research design is the adoption of either a realist (objective) or an idealist (subjective) worldview of sociological problems. As argued in this paper, this dichotomy can be bridged by the dialectical approach of historical space production according to Marxist traditions in human geography. Therefore, this paper explores the philosophical grounds of this debate and previous attempts to conciliate the dichotomy and finally proposes a rejection of this dichotomy… Show more

“…The epistemology of temporal space is aligned with emancipatory assumptions regarding space (Lacerda, 2015). Lacerda (2015) posits that space is more than static because of interwoven social and material flows, thus pointing to the usefulness of considering how time and space are objectified in organizations, overcoming dichotomies and epistemological constraints. Crang and Thrift (2000) also believe that it is possible to produce a narrative of "how" and "why" space is a central element in organizational phenomena.…”

“…The importance of this paper is justified because the incorporation of the spatial dimension to Organizational Studies is promising for the conceptual development of this field of knowledge (IPIRANGA, 2010;HYDLE, 2015), although most management studies do not consider the spatial conditions of organizations (RAULET-CROSET, 2008;LACERDA, 2015). According to Barros and Carrieri (2015), several advances in the field of administration have come from the systematic study of the manipulation of time and space.…”

“…Na ciência administrativa, especificamente nos estudos organizacionais, a virada espacial tem se consolidado, ainda que a discussão sobre raça e cidades, até o momento de construção deste texto, não tenha sido feita. Os estudos têm focado a cidade-organização (Mac-Allister, 2004;Saraiva & Carrieri, 2012), espaço social como categoria relevante para os estudos organizacionais (Lacerda, 2015), e as possibilidades de debate entre estudos organizacionais e cidades (Saraiva, 2019). Consideramos que as discussões sobre uma cidade racializada, que aliam a dimensão de raça aos estudos das cidades nos estudos organizacionais, podem trazer aprofundamento no entendimento das próprias cidades brasileiras marcadas pelo racismo estrutural, segregação, violência e encarceramento.…”
