Call for Papers

7th International Conference on Organizational Discourse:

Identity, Ideology and Idiosyncrasy

Amsterdam, 26th-28th July, 2006

Submission date for Abstracts (1,000 words): 13th Jan 2006

The Conference
The aim of the 7th Conference is to develop further insights into the field of organizational discourse. Papers are invited on talk and text which address issues of social representation, social construction and social interaction in relation to any aspect of organization or organizing.

Given the Conference theme deliberately constitutes a broad discursive canvas, we expect the precise conference streams to emerge from the papers themselves. We anticipate papers that will organize themselves within the following themes:

Sensemaking, Stories and Narrative                     Metaphor, Tropes and Symbolism

Individual and Social Identities                               Text, Talk and Technology

Critical Discursive Approaches                             Conversation Analytic Approaches

Discourse, Identity and Temporality                      Ideology, Power and Knowledge

Language, Culture and Organizational Change  Organizational Identities

Management Philosophy                                        Management Discourse

Professional and Organizational Identity              Structures, Networks and Agency

Ethnography and Organizational Life                   Consumption, Brands and Images

Difference, Idiosyncrasy and Plurivocality            Dramaturgy and Aesthetics

Reflexivity in Organizing                                         Discrimination and Diversity
