Stream 2: Visual Imagery in the Art of Management
• Chris Poulson, Photographer and sometime professor (San Diego)
• Fernando Miguel Pereira Alves, Management professor and architect (Lisbon)
• Virginia Goes, Painter and fulltime committed artist (Lisbon)
• Garance Maréchal, Lecturer, apprentice photographer and sometime model (Liverpool)
• Michelle Massie, Art museum docent-in-training (San Diego)
The process of framing is the basis of this stream – the nexus of perception and cognition as presented in visual images - and we invite contributions that illustrate the process, stimulate the process, perform the process, challenge and disrupt the process, or discuss and analyze the process in painting, drawing, photography or other visual formats in its attempt to portray, understand, criticize, confront, elude… or memorialize management and organization life. We are particularly interested in how the artist, painter or photographer expresses their subjectivity in choosing and framing their the subject, and use techniques - such as the photographer's altering exposure and depth of field - to isolate and highlight what the ordinary eye may not observe.
Art and visual images can be conveyors of organizational values and cultures and can highlight key aspects of organizational identity. Visual images can form an organizational ethnography; can illustrate organizational processes and can even ironicise or critique organizational behaviour and corporate hype. Visual images can present desired but not yet realized organizational futures, or can be used to stimulate creative responses.
For this stream we welcome a wide range of images and forms of contributions. Presentations may cover the ground from an illustrated analytical paper to a visual exhibition with minimal commentary as long as some link is made to aspects of the art of management and organization and their cultural settings in which they are found, are all welcome. Original works are encouraged but we recognize the limitations of size and the difficulties of transport. We will endeavour to do hope to arrange a display space where conferees may view works during breaks as well as in more formal presentation sessions. We also encourage presentations that actively involve participants in diagnosis and discussion of images. Let us know of any technical requirements you may have in your submission.
Submissions:
Abstracts (of 500 words approx.) for papers - but we will accept any form of media submission you feel appropriate - should be sent to the stream conveners (as detailed below*) and copied to Jane Malabar at [log in to unmask] by 1st February 2010.
*Abstracts (Word/pdf) and images (jpeg/pdf), as well as questions, may be submitted to: Chris Poulson (University of San Diego)([log in to unmask] or [log in to unmask] (use both to be safe!). Questions may be directed to one or more of the convenors through Chris.)
