Chapter 1 in Phenomenology of the Embodied Organization, 2015, pp 1-7 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract What would it entail to take the meaning of an organization as an ‘Incorporation’ seriously? What does it imply to interpret organizations as incorporated arrangements, that is as embodied life-worlds? Beyond seeing artefacts and buildings as the physical embodiment of an organization and its change and history (Marrewijk, 2009), specifically one might ask: what and who is incorporated in organizational processes and practices and in what way? What would it mean to take the body and embodiment as starting points or accompanying moves and realities for researching and rethinking about and living in an organization as a company? Furthermore, what would carnal organization and management studies mean and imply? What implications would approaching an organization and its management from an embodied point of view render? What different understandings and practices might be gained and developed by placing an embodied orientation centre-stage?
