“…7 This list of orders is not exhaustive. In recent years, new conceptions of common good have been identified by scholars using this framework including ‘project’ (innovation), ‘green’ (environmentalism) and ‘vitality’ (health) (Boltanski and Chiapello 2005 ; Lafaye and Thevenot 2017 ; Sharon 2018 ). Each order has its own conception of the common good, and in each order certain values are seen as more worthy than others.…”

In the Netherlands, as in many other nations, the government has proposed the use of a contact-tracing app as a means of helping to contain the spread of the corona virus. The discussion about the use of such an app has mostly been framed in terms of a tradeoff between privacy and public health. This research statement presents an analysis of the Dutch public debate on Corona-apps by using the framework of Orders of Worth by Boltanski and Thévenot (1991). It argues that this framework can help us to move beyond the dichotomy of privacy vs. public health by recognizing a plurality of conceptions of the common good in the debate about contact-tracing apps. This statement presents six orders of worth present in the Dutch debate: civic, domestic, vitality, market, industrial and project, and argues that the identification of which common goods are at stake will contribute to discussions about the use of this technology from a standpoint with a richer ethical perspective.

“…Noen av de nevnte verdenene fremstår sannsynligvis i dag som viktigere enn andre som referanserammer for rettferdiggjøring av kollektiv handling, mens andre spiller en mindre rolle enn tidligere. Poenget understrekes gjennom at senere arbeider innenfor den pragmatiske organisasjonssosiologien i tillegg har identifisert natur (Lafaye & Thèvenot, 1993;Thèvenot et al, 2000) og prosjektorientert (Boltanski & Chiapello, 2007) som felles verdener aktører bruker for å rettferdiggjøre utsagn og handlinger, og for å løse konflikter innenfor en offentlig kontekst (Reinecke, van Bommel & Spicer, 2017). Natur viser til jordens økosystem og verdien av å beskytte naturen.…”

“…Natur viser til jordens økosystem og verdien av å beskytte naturen. Det er likevel foreløpig uklart hvilken status natur har i EW-rammeverket (for eksempel Blok, 2013;Lafaye & Thèvenot, 2017). I tråd med forestillingen om verdenene som utgått fra en felles menneskehet er det kanskje mest naerliggende å oppfatte natur og hva som har verdi i denne verden, med utgangspunkt i kulturelle oppfatninger av natur.…”

“…While scientists and environmental nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) may play a role in articulating the concerns over climate change and other natural environment problems (Hoffman, 2011; Lefsrud & Meyer, 2012), the contested nature of these debates and the willingness of some to discount or outright reject the results of scientific analyses that contradict their worldview leaves the social dimension of Anthropocene Society woefully inadequate. In fact, some speculate that the introduction of nature by giving voice to nonhumans and future generations within the development of institutional orders creates challenges for the orders of worth framework (Boltanski & Thévenot, 2006) as it requires which evokes notions of deep ecology (Lafaye & Thévenot, 1993).…”

Natural scientists have proposed that humankind has entered a new geologic epoch. Termed the "Anthropocene," this new reality revolves around the central role of human activity in multiple Earth ecosystems. That challenge requires a rethinking of social science explanations of organization and environment relationships. In this article, we discuss the need to politicize institutional theory as a means understanding "Anthropocene Society," and in turn what that resultant society means for the Anthropocene in the natural environment. We modify the constitutive elements of institutional orders and a set of main change mechanisms to explore three scenarios around which future Anthropocene Societies might be built-Collapsing Systems, Market Rules, and Cultural Re-Enlightenment. Simultaneously, we use observations from the Anthropocene to expose limitations in present institutional theory and propose extensions to remedy them. Overall, this article challenges organizational scholars to consider a new paradigm under which research in environmental sustainability and social sustainability takes place.
