Seminario: Dolarizaciones en América Latina y más allá: Nuevos enfoques en Ciencias Sociales

[Ariel Wilkis avisa de este seminario que se llevará a cabo en Guadalajara del 1 al 3 de marzo]

Dolarizaciones en América Latina y más allá: Nuevos enfoques en Ciencias Sociales

Es muy sabido el rol que ha tenido la moneda norteamericana para afianzar la hegemonía de los EE. UU. desde mediados del siglo XX. Pero su conversión en una “moneda global” que circula en múltiples territorios, que desborda el comercio o las finanzas internacionales (no solamente como moneda de las elites) y que arraiga en repertorios monetarios en reemplazo o junto con otras monedas nacionales para convertirse en unidad de cuenta, pago o intercambio en el día a día de vastas poblaciones del sur global aún es un fenómeno que necesita ser comprendido.

El desafío de esta Plataforma para el Diálogo es realizar un marco de análisis comparativo transnacional sobre cómo el dólar norteamericano ha devenido y opera cómo una moneda integrada legal o de facto en las prácticas económicas cotidianas y ordinarias de sectores sociales muy variados y en contextos sumamente heterogéneos. Esta plataforma cobijará el primer estudio comparativo transnacional sobre las dolarizaciones en América Latina asumiendo que son una entrada clave para comprender procesos políticos, culturales y sociales nodales de estas sociedades.

El encuentro tiene lugar los días 1 al 3 de marzo 2023 en el Centro de Investigaciones y Estudios Superiores en Antropología Social (CIESAS) Occidente con domicilio en Av. España 1359, Moderna, 44190, Guadalajara, México. Debido a limitaciones del espacio el cupo para asistentes es limitado. Se requiere registro previo hasta el 28 de febrero 2023 por correo electrónico dirigido a info@calas.lat

Organization als Verband. A Seminar with Keith Tribe on Weber’s Economy and Society

[Sí hay interesad@s por ahí a acceder vía zoom envía un email a José Ossandón]

Organization als Verband. A Seminar with Keith Tribe on Weber’s Economy and Society

Guest: Keith Tribe is a leading authority on Weber, a noted historian of economic and social thought and an accomplished translator of (among others Max Weber, Reinhart Koselleck, and Wihelm Hennis). He recently translated Max Weber Economy and Society.

Program: Introduction by the organizers. Thomas Lopdrup-Hjorth & José Ossandón, Department of Organization. Talk by Keith Tribe 30-40 minutes. Discussion

Description: The publication of a new English translation of Max Weber’s Economy and Society (Harvard University Press 2019) is the perfect opportunity to re-assess the impact of Weber on organization studies. Of course, as every organization theory textbook explains, Weber has a secured place in the cannon as the main figure behind the classical theory of bureaucracy. This seminar will focus on a different and less explored issue. As Keith Tribe explains in his translator’s introduction, a key but often unnoticed concept in Economy and Society is the notion of Verband which translates as organization.

Verband is more general than what we normally expect with the term organization. Bureaucracy and the modern capitalist firm are instances of this more general category. It is also, however, much more specific than, for instance, notions like “organizing” or even “institution”. Organization [Verband] refers to social relationships where “the observance of its order is guaranteed by the behavior of particular persons specifically charged with its implementation, such as a director and, quite possible, of an administrative staff” (Weber 2019: 129). Economy and Society provides a conceptual apparatus for a deeply comparative study of organization, that, does not need to get lost in more general sociological processes.

Some of the issues we expect to discuss in this seminar are: what is Verband and what is the status of this concept in Weber’s work? and, more speculatively, how would organization studies be if they were Studies of Verband?

Time and Date: November 18th 2021, 15.00 – 16.30

Location: Copenhagen Business School, Kilevej 14 A, 2000 Frederiksberg Room: KL 3.54
And on Zoom

Format: Hybrid. Keith Tribe will participate via Zoom, Thomas & José will be in the meeting room KL 3.54

Cfp_EGOS Sub-theme 33: In the Eye of the Beholder: The Beauty and Necessity of Market Imperfections

[Quizás alguien por ahí se anime. Sub-Theme 33, EGOS, 2021. Fechas y todo eso, acá: https://www.egos.org/2022_Vienna/SUB-THEMES_Call_for_Short-Papers ]

Sub-theme 33: In the Eye of the Beholder: The Beauty and Necessity of Market Imperfections

Convenors: Philip Roscoe, University of St Andrews, Susi Geiger, University College Dublin, José Ossandón, Copenhagen Business School

Call for Papers

The EGOS Colloquium 2022 call invites reflection on the beauty of imperfection and the possibilities it invokes. This sub-theme takes up that challenge as it works towards an account of imperfections in markets. Of course, we do not expect our track participants to simply repeat what economists have already said about market failures, imperfect competition, externalities and so on. Our call is to make market perfection and imperfection a problem to study organizationally.
