Riassunto

This book brings together explorations of embodied writing and contributions to the Writing Differently movement in management and organisation studies – in terms of content, style, format, and development. The introduction to the special issue discusses editing differently and the political value and potential of embodied writing in surfacing hidden, silenced, and creative dimensions of research and experiences in management and organisation studies.

The chapters included in this edited volume tell a variety of stories across different contexts through poetry, movement and dance, embodied memory diaries, ethnodrama and theatre, as well as through queer listening, #tagging and relational reading practices underpinning the writing process. The editors invite us to think of, feel, and know differently not only what we do/think/write research on organising and in organisations but also how we engage in ways that do justice to the very processes of researching and writing, to the people we engage with, and to the embodied experiences discussed.

This book will appeal to scholars and practitioners across management and organisation studies seeking alternative approaches to knowledge production through embodied methodologies. It serves as an essential resource for those working at the intersection of critical management studies, arts-based research, and feminist/queer/decolonial approaches, as well as educators and journal editors interested in expanding the boundaries of academic expression.
