“…Therefore, there is no previous, objective, and stable existence of any decision (or whatever element) that lasts outside the relational situation (Lorino, 2018). The relation is the given phenomenon, it is the raw material (Morgner, 2020), and therefore, the unit of analysis starts from the relations, and "the making of a decision" consists in the transformation of this relationship.…”

Objective of the study: In this essay, we problematize the onto-epistemological assumptions of organizational decision-making theories, focusing on the concepts of action and decision.Approach: Based on the epistemological perspective of transaction, we propose an understanding of decision as a relational element of action and in action, constructing an explanation supported on the relational ontological understanding of reality.Originality/relevance: We introduce the concept of decision entity-ness, based on relational sociology from the perspective of transaction and the idea of relational agency.Main results: The concept of decision entity-ness allowed us to theoretically combine the processual and performative dimensions of organizational decision-making.Theoretical contribution: As a contribution, we developed an original theoretical-explanatory framework that emphasizes decision, understanding it as an element that distinguishes organizations from other social systems.

“…The approach discussed in the article draws on recent theorizing in relational sociology (Dépelteau, , 2015(Dépelteau, , 2018a(Dépelteau, , 2018bDépelteau and Powell, 2013;Morgner, 2020;Powell and Dépelteau, 2013) to consider the potential of a theoretical prospectus which sees no necessary antinomy between 'micro' and 'macro' accounts of music's place in social life, but instead adopts a 'flat' social ontology and a process-relational, transactional 2 approach to what has heretofore largely been theorized as the 'interaction' of music and listeners. In what may strike some readers as a somewhat paradoxical move, rather than seeing the work of so-called 'micro'-sociologists of music as excessively focused on instances of aesthetic experience, I suggest that if we are to gain a better understanding of music's variable functioning within social life, these accounts do not, in fact, go far enough in either empirical or theoretic terms.…”

Beginning at the Beginning: Towards a Trans-actional Music Sociology

Music sociology has proven a fertile arena for the study and theorization of object–subject interaction, with the work of scholars such as Tia DeNora and Antoine Hennion marking its key contribution to the ‘new sociology of art’. Recent years have, however, witnessed no little debate amongst music sociologists about the broader purchase and value of such scholarship, especially considering its apparent challenge to Bourdieu’s critical cultural sociology. This article seeks to contribute to debates in this area by advocating a novel approach to questions about music’s relation to the social, one that seeks less to map the social distribution of taste profiles or explore how listeners make use of music’s affordances than understand the variable ways in which music emerges as something to be attended to (or not) in the first place. Drawing on recent work in relational sociology, the mature philosophy of pragmatist John Dewey as well as new materialist thought, this article explores the potential of a trans-actional prospectus for music sociology. This is an approach that advocates a ‘flat’ social ontology in order to focus on questions about the constitution and configuration of musical events. In so doing, the article argues that if we are to gain a better understanding of music’s varied relation to the social, it is necessary to transcend the residual substantialism implicit in ‘new sociology’ and mediation-focused accounts and adopt an approach capable of integrating concerns of object-ness, emergence and attention with questions of power and inequality.
