Food Coop (2016) - tom boothe: unplugged - voices

Management and organization research can only gain from being inspired by the arts, culture and humanities to rethink practices and enrich its own perspectives. Life in organizations is artificially separate from ordinary life: all mundane objects are thus conducive to astonishment, inspiration and even problematization. The unplugged subsection Voices gives academics and non-academics the opportunity to present an interpretation of an object from the cultural or artistic world. While interpreted objects are, or are not, directly related to organizational life and they resonate, or do not resonate, with the moment, they do share some intriguing features. These interpretations suggest a patchwork of variations on the same object.
