Colloque AOM 2022 : une double nomination pour Catherine Glée-Vermande, iaelyon
Evènement | 17 mai 2022
La communication "Organized Emancipation: A Fraserian analysis of Maisons Familiales Rurales", co-écrite avec Johnny Boghossian, luc Brès et Stéphane Pisani (Université Laval, Québec), sera récompensée lors de la 82ème conférence annuelle de l’Academy of Management qui sera organisée à Seattle du 5 au 9 août 2022.
Cette communication recevra un prix du meilleur papier accepté dans la Division SIM (Social Issues in Management) et a été nommée pour le prestigieux Carolyn B. Dexter Award, attribué pour l’ensemble des 26 divisions qui composent l’Académie.
La communication propose une conceptualisation de la notion d’organisation émancipatrice sur la base des travaux de Nancy Fraser concernant la justice sociale et à partir des différentes définitions d’organisations alternatives proposées dans le champ des Critical Management Studies (CMS). Elle présente un cadre théorique de l’émancipation organisée à partir de l’étude approfondie d’une structure associative internationale d’éducation, les MFR.
ABSTRACT
In this paper, we investigate organized emancipation, i.e. the process of emancipation orchestrated within dedicated organizations. On the one hand, Critical Management Studies (CMS) scholars have shown the risk of being fooled by truncated project of emancipation in the context of organization, and the particular importance of safeguarding an integral idea of emancipation in management studies. On the other hand, recent research on organization shows the potential of alternative organizations as privileged vehicles for collective action for societal challenges and for emancipation. However, the question of how organizations can promote the emancipation of their beneficiaries remains largely unexplored. In this paper, we integrate CMS insights into an organizational perspective. Using Nancy’s Fraser theory of social justice, we develop a framework for the study of organized emancipation. We apply this framework to a network of alternative organizations: Maisons familiales rurales (MFR). For more than 80 years, MFRs have been successfully delivering professional education to underprivileged youth in rural areas. Through qualitative study based on 69 interviews and 200+ archival documents, allows us to map out challenges of and to propose a three-stage model of organized emancipation.
