Title: | Narrative Identity Achieved Through Utterances: The Implications of Bakhtin for Managing Change and Learning | Contributor(s): | Jabri, M (author) | Publication Date: | 2005 | Handle Link: | https://hdl.handle.net/1959.11/220 | Abstract: | Ricoeur's work on narrative has been instrumental in moving the conception of identity from the rational mind (Cartesian) to a text of narratives of meanings, desires, and aspirations. But his effort to question the Cartesian certainty came at a price, namely an excessive emphasis on personhood. This paper explicates the relevance of Bakhtin's notion of dialogue for management by arguing for a critical examination of Ricoeur's centripetal superiority of narrative order in favour of centrifugal encounters based on a Bakhtinian (dialogical) tension, one between an active addressor and an active addressee, rather than an active reciter and a passive listener. Adopting Bakhtin's ideas has clear implications for the management of change and development of learning organisations. | Publication Type: | Journal Article | Source of Publication: | Philosophy of Management, 5(3), p. 47-54 | Publisher: | Reason in Practice Limited | Place of Publication: | United Kingdom | ISSN: | 1740-3812 | Fields of Research (FoR) 2008: | 160899 Sociology not elsewhere classified | Peer Reviewed: | Yes | HERDC Category Description: | C1 Refereed Article in a Scholarly Journal |
