Contemporary Dance
African dance is discussed here in its global as well as local contexts as a powerful vehicle of aesthetic and cultural exchange and influence.
Situations and atmospheres in organizations
Although situations and atmospheres are omnipresent in organizations and have a significant influence on the behaviour of the members of the organization, they are only seldom regarded as relevant research subjects in management and organization research and systematically investigated. This book enters unknown territory in that it elevates situations and atmospheres to the most fundamental and everyday features of being-in-the-organization and investigates their development dynamics systematically. The new phenomenology of the German philosopher Hermann Schmitz, and critical supplements from his follower, Guido Rappe, serve as the theoretical foundation of the reflections. Human corporeality and subjectivity are at the centre of the reflections.
Algorithms of Anxiety
Machine learning algorithms are widely presumed to herald a world in which the crippling burdens of anxiety can be left behind. The digital revolution promises a brave new world where individuals, communities and organizations can at last take control of the future – anticipating, designing and commanding the future, possibly even with mathematical exactitude. Yet, paradoxically, algorithms have unleashed widespread fears and forebodings about the impact of digital technologies. Whether it’s worries about unemployment, distress about social media’s harmful effects on teenagers, or the fear of intrusive digital surveillance, we live in an age of turbo-charged anxiety where the prophecie...
Atmospheres of Learning
An atmosphere bears an effect wherever it is perceptible by human beings, which includes situations in educational institutions. Due to their efficacious potential, they can exude an influence that enhances or weakens, encourages or inhibits children in their development. This book explains various kinds of atmospheres that typically emerge in pedagogical contexts. It includes suggestions on how atmospheres can be actively altered in order to improve learning conditions. In this regard, pedagogues are also encouraged to develop an ‘atmospheric competence’.
Coworking Atmospheres
The study by Alexandra Bernhardt deals with coworking spaces and their atmospheres. In addition to a comprehensive consideration of the role of atmospheres, the special significance of community in the context of these work spaces is examined in more detail. Two case studies in urban coworking spaces form the core of the investigation, following a qualitative research design oriented towards ethnography and a plurality of methods. In the context of the analysis, on the one hand, what constitutes coworking in everyday life and thus the new communality at work is considered: relevant practices and rituals, spatial arrangements and atmospheres are elaborated in their composition. On the other h...
The Metamorphosis of Cultural and Creative Organizations
Organizations in the creative and cultural sector are experiencing transformational change. This book offers a new way of exploring the transformational processes that these organizations are going through, by focusing on their organizational space. By bringing together theoretical and empirical contributions from international scholars belonging to different fields of research, such as management, entrepreneurship, sociology, philosophy and anthropology, this volume seeks to provide readers with a multifaceted, comprehensive understanding of the changes that creative and cultural organizations are facing. By exploring them from an original perspective – the spatial one – this volume pro...
Stimmungen und Atmosphären
Unter dem Leitbegriff einer „Affektivität des Sozialen“ geht der vorliegende Sammelband den Phänomenen Stimmungen und Atmosphären nach, indem er theoretische Ansätze und empirische Analysen aus Sozial- und Kulturwissenschaften ins Gespräch bringt. Insgesamt loten die im Band versammelten Beiträge aus, wie die allgegenwärtige Affektivität des Sozialen konzeptionell zu fassen und einzuordnen ist, welche Rolle wechselseitige Affizierungen und affektive Gestimmtheiten in sozialen Situationen spielen und welche methodischen Zugänge für ihre Untersuchung in Frage kommen. So werden zum einen Theorieperspektiven im Spannungsfeld von Affekttheorie, Phänomenologie und soziologischer ...
