“…Similar to other authors (Clark & Mangham, 2004;Hambrick & Lovelace, 2018;Reinhold, 2017;Smith & Stewart, 2011), we noted the affective, cognitive, and normative dimensions of rituals, but more importantly, we noted that the dynamics of this ritual lie in the performance of declarations.…”

“…Hambrick and Lovelace (2018) point out that rituals accentuate or reduce the importance of certain themes. The affective dimension of ritual, both emotional and sensory, has been frequently emphasized (Smith & Stewart, 2011), for example, in business parties (Cayla et al, 2013) and theatrical performances within firms, increasing the suggestibility of employees (Clark & Mangham, 2004); in artistic performances in companies (Reinhold, 2017); and in Masonic practices (Bryon-Portet, 2011).…”

En anthropologie, un rituel de passage est un processus enclenché volontairement pour permettre à un individu ou un groupe de franchir une étape de transformation difficile. La période liminaire est l’étape intermédiaire de ce processus (Van Gennep, 1909). L’idée de liminalité a été largement mobilisée en sciences sociales et en management. Mais, alors qu’initialement elle présentait une dimension opérationnelle forte pour mener à bien une transformation, elle est devenue un simple concept décrivant la situation d’individus désorientés et mis à l’écart. Le management des organisations a pourtant besoin d’outils opérationnels pour faciliter l’intégration d’individus lors de phases de transition. Cet article cherche à comprendre comment les rituels peuvent favoriser le processus d’intégration des individus liminaires. Pour ce faire, nous avons réalisé l’étude d’un cas de rituel de passage, au sein d’une organisation non religieuse très ritualisée : une loge maçonnique. Nous avons identifié plusieurs mécanismes, actionnés au travers du rituel, et agissant sur l’intégration des individus liminaires. Nous les avons analysés grâce à la mobilisation d’une perspective ventriloque de la communication, empruntée à la théorie dite Communicative Constitution of Organization (CCO). Les résultats montrent que le rituel favorise l’intégration des individus par la réduction de l’ambiguïté de la situation liminaire, l’affirmation d’une temporalité, l’alignement des objectifs individuels et collectifs, la reconnaissance de l’altérité, la moindre hiérarchisation des individus, la réduction de l’hypersubjectivité, le recours à des déclaratifs et des montées en autorité. Nous discutons les écarts entre ces résultats et certains travaux sur la liminalité en management ainsi que la possible transposition de ces mécanismes à des organisations diverses.

How Communicative Performances Can Constitute an Organization’s Self

The creation of an organization’s self is the attribution of a collective will and agency to a group of individuals, thereby constituting them into an organization able to interact with its peers. As such, the organization’s self represents a central issue for collective action, as studied through the prism of the “communicative constitution of organizing” (CCO). Performances, as communicative and spectacular events during which a collectivity presents its self and displays a given message, represent a little-studied opportunity to understand the constitution of the organization’s self, and to explore the links between the organization’s self and the selves of its members. The empirical part of this study analyses the French feminist activist group, La Barbe, which uses innovative performances to denounce the absence of women at the top of organizations. The paper’s contribution is twofold: the analysis presents how visual and symbolic performances can help to constitute an organization’s self, notably through what performances produce for the organization: visibility, coordination and mobilization. Second, it shows the impact of performances on those who execute them, which retroactively has important organizational effects by ensuring their engagement in the organization.

Seeing the potentialities at the intersection: A reflection on performativity and processuality mindsets

In this paper, we propose to approach performativity and processuality as mindsets. We suggest that researchers interested by or pursuing performative studies should recognize more explicitly the inherent processuality of performativity. After offering broad overviews on performativity and process thinking, we highlight that both mindsets rest on a similar view of reality as processual, and both share a strong commitment to qualitative empirical work. In spite of the differences that exist between the two mindsets-such as their treatment of agency, the place of socio-materiality and their approach to continuity and change-we contend that acknowledging and engaging more directly with processuality benefits performative studies, as it helps these studies to deal with some of the challenges they often face. In doing so, performative studies could refine their analyses of managerial and organizational phenomena and would also increase their contribution to our field.
