    >>A call for papers,

    >>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:
    >>
    >>
    >>Photography and the Visual Arts

    My soul flits about seeking metaphors upon which to light.

    I have the greatest respect for reality, but I don't think we should
    let it rule our lives.
