Organizing rocks: Actor–network theory and space
Stockholm University, Faculty of Social Sciences, Stockholm Business School, Management & Organisation.
2020 (English)In: Organization, ISSN 1350-5084, E-ISSN 1461-7323, Vol. 27, no 5, p. 701-716Article in journal (Refereed) Published
Abstract [en]

In an ethnography of the organizing of an underground mine, this article critically engages with actor–network theory’s theorizing of space, particularly the risk of drifting into spatial pluralism. Inspired by Annemarie Mol’s The Body Multiple, a space multiple approach is enrolled in which seemingly disparate enactments of the mining operations are understood in terms of coexistence and difference, inclusion and exclusion. Such an account attempts to cast aside a kind of neatness that jeopardizes the empirical openness that makes actor–network theory so fruitful to work with in organization studies dealing with spatial complexity.
