This book presents an experiential, aesthetic-affective approach to
the study of institutions. Drawing on institutional sociology,
hermeneutics, phenomenology and process philosophy, it
conceptualises institutions as collective experiences with their
own self-promoting and self-propelling powers. Instead of seeing
institutional emergence, change and decline as the result of
actors' interests and manipulations, this book re-establishes the
importance of factors beyond human design and intervention. Drawing
on process theory, it shows how ideas, norms and values can form
self-stabilising configurations that affect people without
conscious realisation. It complements current thinking about
institutions by showing how institutions constitute people long
before people constitute them. With the help of authors as diverse
as Antonio Damasio, A.N. Whitehead, J.W. von Goethe and Max Weber,
Elke Weik crafts a perspective that allows us to understand
institutions as aesthetic and affective powers in their own right.
This book is for researchers interested in process theory,
institutional and organisational studies, hermeneutics, and
aesthetics.
