Ghosts, monsters, zombies and werewolves in management and public governance

anna leandersinerasmusjustine

This seminar explores the possibility that ghosts and other otherworldly creatures are an inherent part of everyday organizational and political life. The seminar brings together scholarly ghost hunters, zombie slayers and other good people to discuss the following (and more):

  • How metaphors of the supernatural find their way into explanations of market behaviour, financial crises, pathologies of modern day or security policy.
  • How ghosts of undecidability trouble organisations
  • The imaginary zones organizations have for what they exclude
  • The intriguing ways in which organisations remain haunted by the pasts that become unwanted en route to more modern and efficient versions of themselves.

14.30-14.35: Welcome with cluster facilitator Niels Åkerstrøm Andersen (MPP)
