Institutions Inc. (Hardcover, 1st ed. 2016): Elke Weik, Peter Walgenbach Institutions Inc. (Hardcover, 1st ed. 2016)
Elke Weik, Peter Walgenbach
R1,469 Discovery Miles 14 690 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Institutions Incorporated draws together aspects of human and organizational corporeality and links them to institutions. Throughout European anthropology and culture the body has been conceptualized as the 'dark side' to soul and reason. This book explores the 'dark side' of institutions, their materiality and the bodily involvement of their users, in an environment where perfection is measured in intangible entities, notably reason and will. This innovative collection takes a closer look at the interplay of the symbolic and the material, and the triad of institutions, bodies and corporations. This exciting research examines what the tangible, 'dark side' of institutions means both for those who live in them, and those who study them.

The Emergence of Institutions - An Aesthetic-Affective Perspective (Hardcover, 1st ed. 2022): Elke Weik The Emergence of Institutions - An Aesthetic-Affective Perspective (Hardcover, 1st ed. 2022)
Elke Weik
R1,463 Discovery Miles 14 630 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

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.

Neben einer Einfuhrung in wissenschaftstheoretische Grundperspektiven beschaftigt sich dieser Band dabei vorwiegend mit Theorien, die das Handeln der Akteure in den Vordergrund stellen. Ausgewahlt wurden vor allem solche Ansatze, die auch im Zentrum der internationalen Diskussion stehen. Dabei beschrankt sich die Darstellung nicht auf die Theorien selbst, sondern bezieht zum tiefer gehenden Verstandnis auch wissenschaftstheoretische und sozialwissenschaftliche Basistheorien mit ein.
