“…The meso level refers to the province, district, or other low level while the micro level relates to the household or individual scale. Those levels can be aggregated at other hierarchies depending on the geographical scale of the study [88][89][90]. For this reason, the indicators will be aggregated at the scales of the city: macro (1), urban neighbourhood: meso (2), and household: micro (1).…”

There exist various indicators that measure land tenure security for urbanites. Most of those indicators measure the degree to which land titling promotes the security of tenure. Based on the reviewed literature, it is admitted that land titling is not a panacea to land tenure security. Measuring the degree of land tenure security should not rely only on the legalisation of landownership. This paper makes a meta-analysis and conceptual modelling to connect spatial justice and land tenure security. It discusses the potential of inclusive urban development grounded on the claim that spatial justice enhances land tenure security. A comprehensive framework of indicators which can measure the degree of land tenure security from a spatial justice lens is thereafter derived. The meta-analysis and conceptual modelling were coupled with research synthesis to perform an in-depth review and qualitative content analysis of the literature on concepts of spatial justice, land tenure security, and urban (re)development processes. This study proposes 60 indicators which measure the degree of spatial justice and land tenure security along a continuum of spatial justice and land tenure security. Those indicators provide a more holistic approach for measuring land tenure security from a spatial justice lens than the separated sets of existing indicators.

“…Specifically, critical management research has been described as the questioning, negation, deconstruction, de-naturalization, and problematization of dominant, harmful, and under-challenged interests, ideologies, institutions, identities to inspire social reform benefitting the majority or those underprivileged, as well as promoting resistance to and emancipation from the resulting limiting or deforming conditions. As an additional structural connection, these four domains of critical inquiry (interests, ideologies, institutions, identities) are linked to the economy, society, organization, and individual, reflecting meta-, macro-, meso-, and micro-levels of analysis (Wang and Polillo, 2016). Corresponding with this contribution's aims, below, the unconscious is included as an additional sublevel for analysing sublimated control mechanisms, collective fantasies, and social character formation.…”

“…Core concepts of a dynamic and interdependent multi-level perspective on power are presented in structured form in Table 3. In this suggested conceptualization, the common tripartite taxonomy of society, organization, and individual, as macro-, meso-, and micro-levels of analysis, is expanded by including the economy as the overarching meta-level transnational (material and informational) superstructure of the global political-economic system of neoliberal capitalism (Fuchs, 2017;Wang and Polillo, 2016). Further, additionally included at the opposite end is a sub-level of psychodynamic, or socalled, "fantasmatic" logic of unconscious control through governmentality.…”

This conceptual article draws on critical traditions from several social science disciplines, notably, social, political, and systems theory, sociology, psychology, and management studies, as it seeks to explore, assemble, and integrate some constitutive components of a socio- and psychodynamic perspective on power and control in work organizations. At its core is an archetypal taxonomy of formal (economic), real (technocratic), normative (ideological), and formative (biopolitical) modes of power and managerial control through various means and combinations of commodification (contracts, compensation, competition), coercion (commands, constraints, compliance), cooptation (culture, consent, commitment), and creation (corrosion, conception, coevolution). Other integral elements are domains or foci of inquiry, specifically, interests, ideologies, institutions, and identities. These domains are linked to meta-, macro-, meso-, and micro-levels of analysis, resembling economy, society, organization, and individual. Accordingly, behavioural control and psychological governance processes are reinforced by a pervasive economic system logic, cascading into political, social, and psychodynamic sublogics. These taxonomies are integrated with concepts from the depth and dynamic psychology and traced across economic (meta-system interests), societal (macro-political ideologies), organizational (meso-social institutions), and individual (micro-psychodynamic identities) levels revealing patterns of self-similarity. It is argued that societal subsumption and subjugation reproduce psychodynamic subjectification (submission, sublimation) at the individual level, mediated by the subordinating and socializing forces inherent in organizational control systems. Discussed are implications for the dynamics of power and control in contemporary societies, organizations, and individuals under hegemonic governance of neoliberal ideology.

“…Pese a que los artículos empíricos descansan en una sola teoría lingüística, a saber, la LSF, y a que las dimensiones sociales abordadas con la TCL oscilan solo entre las capas micro (como interacciones en aula) y meso (esto es, instituciones pedagógicas), en desmedro de la macro social (como la economía, la cultura, la sociedad, etc.) (Wang & Polillo, 2016), este libro permite sin duda que cualquier investigador en el área de la educación que esté interesado en los fenómenos sociales pueda, en cierta medida, ampliar su visión con respecto a la construcción social del conocimiento.…”

En 2016, se publicó Knowledge-building: Educational studies in Legitimation Code Theory, editado por los profesores Karl Maton, Susan Hood y Suellen Shay. Esta edición presenta la Teoría de Códigos de Legitimación (TCL) y sus aplicaciones mediante la descripción de una serie de investigaciones en el ámbito educacional. La TCL consiste en una “caja de herramientas” que permite analizar el conocimiento en tanto objeto de estudio con características, propiedades y principios particulares. Esta obra, de aún escasa recepción en Latinoamérica, puede ser particularmente útil para profesores, lingüistas y sociólogos educacionales que deseen, en cierto grado, ampliar su visión con respecto a la construcción social del conocimiento en el campo de la educación.
