Abstract

Most theories of organisation express themselves through only one sense: that of sight. Can we begin to listen to organisations? If we examine ourselves in this [i.e. When we try], we find that, above and beyond our comprehension, nudging it, there are elements related to listening such as: silence, background noise, atmosphere and Stimmung. For instance, in listening to baroque music - such as, the Goldberg Variations of Bach - organisation is in a different topology. Concepts enter in of folds and of world, of Ritornello and of rhythm, of counterpoint and of harmony… all of which can help us to understand organisations, and thus to put forward new analyses. Can we think of life in its bosom?
