Communicating in a World of Norms

Axis 1: Communicational Approaches to Norms in Organizations

Considering the technological and managerial devices that are currently deployed in (and by) institutions and organizations, we will question the processes of social transformation that result from managerial and technological models of information and communication. The organizational (re)configurations and control mechanisms will be discussed and analyzed from situations, processes and policies of communication that can be observed in a variety of organizational (business, governmental, administrative, associative) and cultural contexts. This axis will encourage the comparison between various approaches, paradigms and methods mobilized by different sub-fields of research in organizational communication.
