Inhalt: The course engages with understanding that organization and organizing in contemporary society is increasingly shaped by aesthetic and atmospheric aspects. Drawing on fundamental concepts and empirical studies conducted in the areas of organization studies, sociology, and broader atmospheric research, the course seeks to explore and investigate how organization relates to atmosphere as an aesthetic notion and in how far we may even talk of organization as an atmospheric phenomenon. Dealing with atmospheres addresses the ‘felt meanings’ and collective affects emerging from and conditioning of organization and our ways of organizing. You may have experienced new playful office or learning spaces, co-working spaces or urban designs. Googles office spaces are but an example. The atmospheric constitution of organization is manifold ranging from the spatial design of office spaces, geopolitical coordination to the (re)configuration of urban spaces. While atmosphere accentuates the organization of everyday life, it further put emphasis on how atmosphere may also become an affective technology of power and a means of political organizing. The course aims to provide students with theories and concepts to critically examine the atmosphere of organization. The students are further asked to engage with fieldwork and case-based analysis of organization and atmospheric organizing, which involves attentiveness to the affective, spatial, aesthetic and material elements of organizing. Students will gain an understanding of the atmospheric underpinnings of/intertwinement with organization. They will acquire the foundations for an interdisciplinary and methodological viewpoint on organization by acknowledging how thinking organization is informed by, and informs, cultural and social theory.
