“…Based on Foucault's texts, one may differentiate between three types of the dispositif of power: legal dispositif, i.e. the system of prohibitions and sanctions connected to sovereign power; disciplinary dispositif connected to disciplinary power, which forces individuals to behave according to a system of norms; and the dispositif of security, corresponding with the (neo) liberal governmentality (rationality of power), according to which individuals become both subjects and objects of power, and are supposed to discipline themselves, implementing in their lives optimal or at least average models of conducting themselves (Raffnsøe, Gudmand-Høyer, and Thaning 2011;. Dispositif analysis usually refers to the latter type, perceiving it as a tool of neoliberal power, promoting the model of a resourceful citizen, responsible for themselves and their role in society (Bührmann 2004).…”

The article discusses uses of dispositif analysis inspired by Michel Foucault’s late works, in a context different from the original one. The author presents the main methodological assumptions of dispositif analysis and the factors which result in its critical and interdisciplinary potential not being fully exploited at present. Based on a literature review of dispositif analysis in post-socialist Eastern Europe, the author formulates an interdisciplinary research program aimed at adapting this approach to the study of East European power networks, taking into account both its different historical, cultural, and geopolitical context – compared to the one of West European countries – and Foucault’s conception of neoliberalism. Methodological recommendations are presented in two research areas: 1) labor in the Polish post-transformation society; and 2) reactions to pedophilia in the Polish Catholic Church.

“…Indeed, this ‘openness’ and flexibility toward various usages, intellectual historians argue, is one of the key characteristics that make such concepts and vocabularies shared, foundational, and influential (Gallie, 1956; Koselleck, 2011; Skinner, 1989). In his later work, Michel Foucault (1997, 2001, 2007a) proposed the analytical category ‘problematization’ to describe this process (see also Borch, 2012; Castel, 1994; Lopdrup-Hjorth, 2013; Raffnsøe et al, 2016). He loosely characterized a problematization as a combination of the way in which something is made into a problem (e.g.…”

In spite of their distinctive normative and political differences, critical organizational scholars use a vocabulary which in several respects resembles that adopted by right-wing populists. This vocabulary, we argue, consists of components that can be deployed in the pursuit of radically conflicting goals. At its heart lies a profoundly antithetical stance toward bureaucracy and the state. In this article, we explore the components of this vocabulary as well as the role they play in both populist- and critical organizational theory-variants. In doing so, we further discuss the lack of critical potential this vocabulary has in the present. For critical organization scholars, we argue, this should perhaps lead to a renewed consideration and reflexivity concerning not only the merits of bureaucracy and the state, but also of how to conduct critique in populist times.

“…Jeg transskriberede selv alle interviews og analyserede dem med udgangspunkt i en analysemodel, jeg og en kollega har udviklet med afsaet i den franske filosof og sociolog Michel Foucaults problematiseringsanalyse (Foucault, 1985). Problematiseringsanalyse handler om at belyse måden, hvorpå noget (for eksempel en bestemt type adfaerd, visse faenomener eller processer) optraeder som et problem, og hvordan det overhovedet er blevet til et problem -ofte på forskellige måder inden for forskellige diskurser (Raffnsøe et al, 2015). (For en uddybning af analysemodellen se Pedersen og Krarup, 2018).…”

Denne artikel præsenterer skam som et nyt og skjult ledelsesproblem. Med afsæt i kvalitative interviews fra to forskellige forskningsprojekter viser jeg, hvordan skam dukker op i et moderne arbejdsliv i forbindelse med stress. Efter at have præsenteret forskningsprojekterne og min analysetilgang, viser jeg forskellige situationer, hvori skamfølelsen dukker op som et ledelsesproblem. Herefter introduceres to reaktionsmønstre på skam som afsæt til, at jeg afslutningsvis kan pege på relationen og kommunikationen mellem leder og medarbejder samt kollegaer indbyrdes som stedet, hvor skamfølelsen kan håndteres med henblik på at forebygge yderligere forværring af skam. Målet med artiklen er at kaste lys over en ny problemstilling i forbindelse med stress, som jeg fortsat er i gang med at udforske. Artiklen skal betragtes som en invitation til at få indblik i en opdagelsesrejse, med de forbehold det nu engang indebærer. Jeg håber, at læseren vil tage med på rejsen og bruge den præsenterede viden som inspiration til eget arbejde – frem for at betragte den som en fiks og færdig teori.
