Reframing Institutional Logics Substance Practice and History

Reframing Institutional Logics Substance Practice and History

How are we to characterise the context in which organisations operate? The notion that organisational activity is shaped by institutional logics has been influential but it presents a number of problems. The criteria by which institutions are identified the conflation of institutions with organisations the enduring nature of those institutions and an exaggerated focus on change are all concerns that existing perspectives do not tackle adequately. This book uses the resources of historical work to suggest new ways of looking at institutional logics. It builds on the work of Roger Friedland who has conceived of institutional logics being animated by adherence to a core substance that is immanent in practices. Development of this idea in the context of organisation theory is supported by ideas drawn from the work of the social theorist Margaret Archer and the broader resources of the philosophical tradition of critical realism. Institutions are seen to emerge over time from the embodied relations of humans to each other and to the natural world on which they depend for material existence. Once emergent institutions develop their own logics and endure to form the context in which agents are involuntarily placed and that conditions their activity. The approach adopted offers resources to ‘bring society back in’ to the study of organisations. The book will appeal to graduate students who are engaging with institutional theory in their research. It will also be of interest to scholars of institutional theory of the history of organisations and those seeking to apply ideas from critical realism to their research. | Reframing Institutional Logics Substance Practice and History

The Mind-Body Problem and Metaphysics An Argument from Consciousness to Mental Substance

The Mind-Body Problem and Metaphysics An Argument from Consciousness to Mental Substance

This book evaluates the widespread preference in philosophy of mind for varieties of property dualism over other alternatives to physicalism. It takes the standard motivations for property dualism as a starting point and argues that these lead directly to nonphysical substances resembling the soul of traditional metaphysics. In the first half of the book the author clarifies what is at issue in the choice between theories that posit nonphysical properties only and those that posit nonphysical substances. The crucial question he argues is whether one posits nonphysical things that satisfy an Aristotelian-Cartesian independence definition of substance: nonphysical things that could exist in the absence of anything else. In the second half the author argues that standard and Russellian monist forms of property dualism are far less plausible than we usually suppose. Most significantly the presuppositions of one of the leading arguments for property dualism the conceivability argument lead by parity of reasoning to the view that conscious subjects are nonphysical substances. He concludes that if you posit nonphysical properties in response to the mind-body problem then you should be prepared to posit nonphysical substances as well. Mainstream philosophy of mind must take nonphysical substances far more seriously than it has done for the best part of a century. The Mind-Body Problem and Metaphysics will be of interest to scholars and advanced students working in philosophy of mind metaphysics and the history of philosophy. | The Mind-Body Problem and Metaphysics An Argument from Consciousness to Mental Substance

Comparative Perspectives on the Substance of EU Democracy Promotion

Comparative Perspectives on the Substance of EU Democracy Promotion

This volume examines the substance of European Union (EU) democracy promotion by comparing it with norms of governance that other international actors promote among them the United Nations the United States the Central and East European EU member states Russia China and non-governmental organizations. The book offers a better understanding of the EU’s democracy promotion agenda and the (in)distinctiveness of the norms diffused by the EU. Building on a common conceptual introduction the chapters follow different theoretical approaches and research designs and focus on a range of diverse case studies. The book concludes that in comparison with other international actors the EU’s conceptual approach to democracy promotion is diffuse which in turn makes the EU a particularly flexible but also ‘technical’ democracy promoter when it comes to implementation. At the same time there are limits to flexibility at the level of concepts and frames. This book was originally published as a special issue of the Cambridge Review of International Affairs. | Comparative Perspectives on the Substance of EU Democracy Promotion

Towards an Anthropology of Wealth Imagination Substance Value

Towards an Anthropology of Wealth Imagination Substance Value

Aiming to redefine the concept of wealth which has too often been reduced to merely ‘accumulated assets’ this book views wealth primarily as a question of reproduction relational flows and life vitality. The authors therefore outline wealth as a triangular phenomenon between capital the commons and power. Viewing wealth as firstly a product of relational capacities the book explores the processes wherein it is constantly being pulled at from forces that demand appropriation be that finance community or state. The chapters tackle perceptions (and practices) of wealth in the commons in mythical narrative immaterial substance aristocratic orders antimafia money real and imagined and conspiracy theory with contributions from Melanesia Italy Greece India and Mongolia. The comparative perspective lies at the heart of the book bringing together instances of commonwealth and the commons as well as hierarchical relational and substantial understandings of wealth. As the first collection in recent decades to address the anthropology of wealth openly in a comparative perspective this book will spark discussions of the concept in anthropology not least at the back of a renewed debate over it due to Piketty’s legacy. This book was originally published as a special issue of History & Anthropology. | Towards an Anthropology of Wealth Imagination Substance Value

Theology and Civil Society

Theology and Civil Society

From food banks to migrant welcome committees and community organisers to internet based campaigners civil society is central to the North Atlantic social landscape. Theology and Civil Society advances our understanding of what civil society is and offers a theologically informed re-imagining of our shared social life. Prefaced by a foreword by the Rev. Dr Rowan Williams this book explores contemporary manifestations of the kind of collective action observed in civil society since the 1800s. It then examines civil society as the sum of modern associations which mediate our relationships to the market and the state but which cannot be identified fully with either the market or the state. Finally three different perspectives on civil society are presented using insights from theologians such as John Milbank and Georg Hegel. This is a pertinent topic for contemporary society and it is explored expertly here by an international panel of contributors. As such it is an important volume for any scholar of Theology and Religious Studies and their interactions with Sociology and Politics.

Sex Drugs and Creativity Searching for Magic in a Disenchanted World

Sex Drugs and Creativity Searching for Magic in a Disenchanted World

In Sex Drugs and Creativity: The Search for Magic in a Disenchanted World Kahoud and Knafo take a close look at omnipotent fantasies in three domains: sex drugs and creativity. They demonstrate how these fantasies emerge and how artists draw on them both to create and destroy—sometimes simultaneously – and how understanding this can help psychoanalysts work more effectively with these individuals. Using the personal statements of influential artists and entertainers in addition to clinical material the authors examine the omnipotence of self-destruction as it contends with that of creative artists. The authors argue that creative artists use omnipotent fantasies to imagine the world differently - this enables them to produce their art but also leaves these artists vulnerable to addiction. Chapters devoted to Stephen King and Anne Sexton demonstrate the ways these authors used drugs and alcohol to fuel imagination and inspire creative output while simultaneously doing harm to themselves. A detailed case study also demonstrates successful clinical work with a creative substance user. Sex Drugs and Creativity will appeal to anyone interested in the links between creativity and substance use and will be of great use to psychoanalysts and mental health practitioners working with these challenging clients. | Sex Drugs and Creativity Searching for Magic in a Disenchanted World

Moral Enhancement and the Public Good

Moral Enhancement and the Public Good

Currently humans lack the cognitive and moral capacities to prevent the widespread suffering associated with collective risks like pandemics climate change or even asteroids. In Moral Enhancement and the Public Good Parker Crutchfield argues for the controversial and initially counterintuitive claim that everyone should be administered a substance that makes us better people. Furthermore he argues that it should be administered without our knowledge. That is moral bioenhancement should be both compulsory and covert. Crutchfield demonstrates how our duty to future generations and our epistemic inability to promote the public good highlight the need for compulsory covert moral bioenhancement. This not only gives us the best chance of preventing widespread suffering compared to other interventions (or doing nothing) it also best promotes liberty autonomy and equality. In a final chapter Crutchfield addresses the most salient objections to his argument.

Architecture and the Unconscious

Architecture and the Unconscious

There are a number of recent texts that draw on psychoanalytic theory as an interpretative approach for understanding architecture or that use the formal and social logics of architecture for understanding the psyche. But there remains work to be done in bringing what largely amounts to a series of independent voices into a discourse that is greater than the sum of its parts in the way that say the architect Peter Eisenman was able to do with the architecture of deconstruction or that the historian Manfredo Tafuri was able to do with the Marxist critique of architecture. The discourse of the present volume focuses specifically for the first time on the subject of the unconscious in relation to the design perception and understanding of architecture. It brings together an international group of contributors who provide informed and varied points of view on the role of the unconscious in architectural design and theory and in doing so expand architectural theory to unexplored areas enriching architecture in relation to the humanities. The book explores how architecture engages dreams desires imagination memory and emotions how architecture can appeal to a broader scope of human experience and identity. Beginning by examining the historical development of the engagement of the unconscious in architectural discourse and the current and historical theoretical and practical intersections of architecture and psychoanalysis the volume also analyses the city and the urban condition. | Architecture and the Unconscious
