    Dear colleagues,
    Interested in CCO and performativity, and in how organizing and organization are done differently? Then send us your best work and most interesting ideas. Our sub-theme is part of the Standing Working Group, Communication, Performativity and Organization
    Please find the full call through the link below:
    https://www.egos.org/jart/prj3/egos/main.jart?rel=de&reserve-mode=active&content-id=1721760205556&subtheme_id=1701057691662
    We welcome both empirical and conceptual submissions from a range of perspectives and from all possible onto-epistemological positions.
    Below is a list of suggestive, but not exhaustive, themes that can be addressed:
    • How is creative organizing performatively accomplished?
    • How do alternative organizational forms take hold?
    • How is creative work established for the long term, ensuring that change is durable rather than transient?
    • How is creative work communicatively constituted?
    • How communication performs and sustains difference?
    • How is power exercised when new forms of organizing, organization and organizationality unfold?
    • How can the relationships between power and creativity be understood from a performative and/or CCO perspective?
    • How can we conceptualize and distinguish creativity from other elements of performative praxis that is ontologically based on alteration and change?
    • How organizational difference emerges outside of traditional hierarchies?
    • How can organizations be opened-up and become more democratic, inclusive and transparent?
    • What kinds of creativity are crucial for forms of alternative, inclusive or open organizing?
    • What is the role of communication and performativity in constituting alternative organizing?
    • What can we learn from alternative organizing forms that fail?
    • What is the dark side of alternative organizing?
    • When does alternative organizing become affective mainstream organizing?
    We look forward to seeing you in Athens!
    Best regards,
    Laura Dobusch, Simon Parker and Alex Wright
