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.)
