>>The Art of Management and Organisation Conference
>>
>>
>>Presented by
>>The Essex Management Centre
>>University of Essex
>>
>>at
>>King's College, London,
>>3rd - 7th September, 2002
>>
>>
>>With the support of Culture and Organization (Routledge); BAM Philosophy
>>of Management SIG; the Standing Conference on Organizational Symbolism
>>and Culture (SCOS); The Management Centre, King's College London; and the
>>co-operation of the Tate Modern Gallery.
>>
>>
>>A call for papers,
>>performances, exhibitions and events
>>
>>
>>
>>In recent years we have seen a dramatic increase in the articulation of
>>the humanities and the field of social inquiry into management and
>>organization,
>>as well as the utilization of artistic processes in the activity of managing.
>>With the birth of the field of organizational aesthetics over the past
>>ten to fifteen years, it is time for a conference that focuses on those
>>dimensions of management and organization that render them an ART, not
>>purely a SCIENCE.
>>
>>We are seeking, not just papers, but proposals for events,
>>displays, exhibitions,
>>performances and workshops which fully address this field in all
>>its richness.
>>We want to include music, photography, sculpture, poetry, painting,
>>installations
>>.. in fact anything you can come up with we will consider. As with art,
>>it doesn't matter if it has been exhibited or performed before (eg at the
>>US or Australian Academies) it is the bringing together which is important
>>for this conference.
>>
>>We also wish to encourage material from critical traditions in the
>>humanities,
>>which may be unfamiliar to those working in the organization and management
>>field - such as philosophy and art history.
>>
>>We already have on board as one of the keynote speakers, Pat Kane (chart
>>topping artist as lead singer and songwriter with Hue And Cry, contributing
>>editor with the Sunday Herald in Glasgow, TV arts presenter, and writer
>>on the play ethic), with a couple more great candidates in the pipeline.
>>
>>Contributions will be screened for potential inclusion in the journal Culture
>>and Organization and the streams included are:
>>

My soul flits about seeking metaphors upon which to light.

I have the greatest respect for reality, but I don't think we should
