What is
ephemera?
theory
ephemera
encourages
contributions that explicitly engage with theoretical and
conceptual
understandings
of organizational issues, organizational processes, and
organizational life. This does not preclude empirical studies
or commentaries on contemporary issues, but such contributions
consider how theory and practice intersect in these cases. We
especially publish articles that apply or develop theoretical
insights which are not part of the established canon of
organization studies. ephemera
counters
the current hegemonization of social theory and operates at
the borders of organization studies in that it continuously
seeks to question what organization studies is and what it can
become.
politics
ephemera encourages
the amplification of the political problematics of
organization within academic debate, which today is being too
actively de-politized by the current organization of thought
within and without universities and business schools.
We welcome papers that engage the political in a
variety of ways as required by the organizational forms being
interrogated in a given instance.
organization
Articles
published in ephemera
are
concerned with theoretical and political aspects of
organizations, organization and organizing. We refrain from
imposing a narrow definition of organization, which would
unnecessarily halt debate. Eager to avoid the charge of
‘anything goes’ however, we do invite our authors to state
how their contributions connect to questions of organization
and organizing, both theoretical and practical.
ephemera
has
chosen to provide its content free of charge, and to charge
its readers only with free thought. So feel free to copy,
re-copy and distribute ephemera as widely as you wish. (But
please do fully acknowledge the work of our authors.)
