Ordinary democracy in the making: Renewing our times and spaces of democratic representation in and through organization#OAP2025 When: June 5th and 6th 2025 Where: London of Economics (LSE). Face-to-face event.
Co-chairs:
This 15th OAP workshop jointly organized by LSE (ISIG, Management department), Université Paris Dauphine-PSL (DRM) and ESSEC (Metalab) will be an opportunity to come back to the issue of democracy and democratic practices in and through organization(s). In particular, we will explore the following questions: how can communities and citizenship be fostered in and through organizations? How to balance participatory and representative democratic processes in organizations? How to combine the continuities and discontinuities of democratic discussions in past and future events? What is or could be the role of AI and digital events in shaping new democratic processes? How can we open up the organization of our democratic spaces to those without a voice? How to include non-humans in the representational process of our democracy? How do digital systems change and influence democratic processes? How can digital systems enhance representation? How do we design democratic spaces that truly take care of the world? Beyond the organizationality and space of agoras, how to design more democratic times in corporate discussions and decisions? How to renew "managerial capitalism" and its logic of mandates and delegation? These are (among others) the issues at the intersection of organization studies, information systems, law, anthropology (ontologies) and political philosophy that will be addressed in our next workshop. We welcome abstracts likely to cover the following topics:
Of course, our event is also open to more traditional OAP ontological discussions of time, space, place and materiality of organizing in a digital era, e.g. papers discussing ontologies, posthumanism, process perspectives, sociomateriality, affordances, spacing, emplacement, atmosphere, events, becoming, practices, flows, moments, existentiality, verticality, instants in the context of our digital world.
