> In Partage du Sensible Jacques Rancière ( Paris: Le Fabrique 2000) suggests a reassessments of modernism in the light of postmodern nostalgia and defeatism flatly rejecting the possibility bridge-heading ethics, aesthetics and politics through a shared aesthetics. When the utopia of complete rupture with the past is gone it remains to understand the crucial role of aesthetics in organizing common action for managing the renaissance of private-public realms. Aesthetics that turns away from virtual dreaming faces new challenges of concrete embodiment in anti-nostalgic re-connection to history.
>
> How might aesthetic experiences in organizational life emerging like flashes of lightening illuminate the everyday and shape new partnerships for action? Can poetical moments give energy for reorganizing organizational time and space by opening up soft and delicate clearings in the rationalized functional forests of capitalistic projects? Does joy and play necessary have to turn into drudge and deception once confronted with organizing and management? Are there aesthetic institutionalizations that might save and stimulate of art? How does art reshape organizations and vitalize institutions that meet with the resistance of what Luc Boltanski and Eve Chiapello ( in The New Spirit of Capitalism London: Verso 2005) labels aesthetic critique?
>
> In general aesthetics aims at the re-embodiment of social action by taking our sensible knowing and acting into account. Is the aesthetics of organizational life special in that it considers the traditional five senses PLUS ONE?
>
> Let us compare notes, cases and reflections on organizational consequences of getting hooked on aesthetic feelings through the five senses PLUS ONE and then try to patch together our empirical findings into a meaningful common publication.
