ABSTRACT

Taking inspiration from Sedgwick [(2002). “Paranoid Reading and Reparative Reading, or You’re So Paranoid, You Probably Think This Essay Is About You.” In Touching Feeling: Affect, Pedagogy, Performativity, edited by E. K. Sedgwick, 123–152. Durham, NC: Duke University Press], I argue that a turn towards alternative organization(s) must be accompanied by a concurrent turn towards a reparative methodology, in order that critical scholars are able to know an alternative. Based on engagement with Roskilde Festival, I show how easily critical studies become paranoid, precluding surprise and, in turn, alternative understandings, as well as alternative things to understand. Whereas paranoid critical inquiry is informed by the hermeneutics of suspicion, I suggest that reparative readings may come from a place of wonder (MacLure [(2013a). Researching Without Representation? Language and Materiality in Post-Qualitative Methodology.” International Journal of Qualitative Studies in Education 26 (6): 658–667. doi:10.1080/09518398.2013.788755, (2013b). “The Wonder of Data.” Cultural Studies – Critical Methodologies 13 (4): 228–232]). This article contributes to debates in critical management studies about the purpose of and possibility for critical engagement with organizations. By sharing ethnographic moments that mattered to me in their affective capacity to make me experience wonder about critical engagement, I show how a paranoid reader may become reparatively positioned and demonstrate what knowledge may be produced through reparative readings.

摘要

从Sedgwick [（2002）。“偏执狂阅读和补习性阅读，或者您是如此偏执，您可能认为这篇文章与您有关。” 在触感：情感，教育学，操演，由EK Sedgwick编辑，123–152。北卡罗来纳州达勒姆（Durham）：杜克大学出版社（Duke University Press），我认为，向替代组织的转变必须与向修复方法的转变同时进行，以使批判学者能够了解替代方法。基于与罗斯基勒音乐节的互动，我展示了批判性研究如何变得容易变得偏执，排除了惊奇，进而排除了其他理解以及其他需要理解的事物。尽管偏执的批判性询问是从怀疑的解释学中得知的，但我建议赔偿性的阅读可能来自一个奇怪的地方（MacLure [（2013a）。无代表性的研究？后定性方法论中的语言和重要性。”国际定性研究杂志在教育领域26（6）：658–667。doi：10.1080 / 09518398.2013.788755，（2013b）。“数据奇迹”。文化研究–批判方法学13（4）：228–232]）。本文有助于在关键管理研究中就组织关键参与的目的和可能性进行辩论。通过分享对我而言具有情感影响力的人种志时刻，使我对批判性参与感到惊奇，我展示了偏执狂的读者可能如何获得相对应的地位，并展示了通过相对应的阅读可以产生哪些知识。
