AbstractPurpose -The purpose of this paper is to clarify the relationship between language, thinking and society for explaining the degree of visibility of the French organizational studies (OS) production. Design/methodology/approach -This paper proposes a sociological analysis based on Bourdieu field to understand the variation of reception the French OS production have had among the Anglo-Saxon field. The paper aims to underline some key elements, which can explain the differences of reception experienced by the French OS scientists. The paper opted for a general review using historical data; reviews of OS literature; and Google scholar, Web of Science and major OS Journal data. Findings -The paper provides some evidence about how the degree of visibility of the French OS production is related to translation, cognitive and social resonance, producer place in the scientific network and relationship between the fields. It suggests that the degree of visibility is the result of a complex set of socio-cognitive schemes, social issues raised by the scholar and the place occupied by the researcher in the field. Originality/value -The paper brings interesting ideas concerning the international development of the OS field, the degree of visibility of diverse contributions coming from non-English speaking researchers, notably the French ones, and how the dialogue between different linguistic and social universes can be ameliorated.

Gestión y subjetividad en el trabajo en el mundo euroamericano: tres posturas principales

“…En adelante, las relaciones de poder entre actores están en el centro del análisis organizacional (Crozier & Friedberg, 1977;Sainsaulieu, 2014). Este trabajo y el de sus principales colaboradores influirán en los programas de gestión y en determinadas esferas administrativas públicas y privadas, especialmente en el ámbito latino (Bernoux, 1985;Ballé, 1990;Chanlat, 1992Chanlat, , 2014.…”

“…Tras este regreso a los estudios con intenciones emancipatorias, es lamentable no obstante observar que el diálogo entre los ricos trabajos en psicosociología en lengua francesa y los de los estudios críticos en gestión en lengua inglesa no ha podido tener lugar hasta ahora como debería (Chanlat, 1996;2011), lo que también sería el caso con los trabajos realizados en América Latina (Chanlat, Fachin, & Fischer, 2006Vergara, 2005Vergara, , 2006Ibarra-Colado, 2006;Santana, 2007;Bendassoli & Borges-Andrade, 2015;Borges-Andrade, Rentería, & Toro, 2018;Ramírez & Gonzales-Miranda, 2018). Pues, si los autores críticos que publican en inglés suelen apoyarse en la obra de grandes figuras intelectuales francesas como Foucault, Derrida, Deleuze, Lyotard, o incluso más recientemente Bourdieu o Latour, por citar a algunos, todos los demás trabajos en lengua francesa son en gran parte ignorados (Chanlat, 2014) al igual que los de otras tradiciones, en particular las publicadas en español y portugués (Floriani, 2015).…”

“…Si, en el caso de los trabajos en francés mencionados, una parte se explica por la falta de traducción al inglés de estos trabajos, con la reciente excepción de Christophe Dejours, quien acaba de traducirse y publicarse en Australia, los obstáculos también son intelectuales y culturales (Chanlat, 2014). En efecto, si ciertas obras en lengua francesa han abordado las cuestiones planteadas por los cms, mucho antes de la aparición de este movimiento (Chanlat, 2013;Dietrich et al, 2015), y si también las encontramos en otros ámbitos lingüísticos (Alcadipani & Rosa, 2001;Ibarra-Colado, 2006), esta ignorancia está ligada a la cuestión del predominio que ejercen las producciones anglosajonas dentro de nuestro campo, ignorancia muchas veces alentada por las lógicas de evaluación implementadas y la hegemonía de la lengua inglesa que en él se ejerce (Curry & Lilly, 2004;Tietze & Dick, 2013;Lussier & Chanlat, 2017).…”

“…Podemos nos articular com outros espaços que têm buscando formar resistências (Chanlat, 2014 (Rosa & Alves, 2011).…”

What we inherit and what we create. Making the case for an interpretive approach to societal cultures

“…The language barrier has certainly contributed to limiting the dissemination of the Gestion & Société approach mostly published in French just as it has hindered, for example, the diffusion of the Kulturstandard Method developed in German by Thomas, (1996). But differences in scientific tradition and rhetoric can also explain why this school of thought has had little resonance in English-speaking journals to date (Chanlat, 2014). This special issue is particularly appropriate to introduce the 'Gestion & Société' approach as an original answer to the question 'which differences should be considered by management studies, and how?…”
