https://tidsskrift.dk/claw/article/view/152418
<p>Posthumanist Practice Theory has emerged in management and organisation studies in recent years. This approach entails decentring the human subject, promoting the ongoing deconstruction of humanism. It also encompasses a critical reconsideration of <br>knowledge to overcome anthropocentric, essentialist, and speciesist positions to offer new reflections on the crisis of the <br>Anthropocene. The contribution provides a cartography of the concept of “knowing in practice” in posthumanist practice theory<br>across the theoretical traditions that contributed to its development. By tracing the contribution of different theoretical traditions, <br>the article shows how knowing and practising are not separate activities but interact and produce each other. Knowing emerges from <br>practising due to becoming sensitive to the sociomaterial relationships involved in the practice, and practising is affected by knowing <br>in a circular mutual relation. Moreover, in posthumanist practice theory, knowing in practice is an ethical process in which subjects <br>constantly converse with the world and become with it.</p>Laura Lucia Parolin, Carmen Pellegrinelli

https://tidsskrift.dk/claw/article/view/152419
<p>In contemporary society, social media plays an ever-increasing role. The frequency and impact of crises, particularly online, are escalating, posing economic and reputational threats to organizations. Although much research on crisis communication and management has emerged, the field still lacks a general theory or paradigm. This research deficiency has reached a point where it is necessary to limit the inclusion of new theoretical elements but instead concretize practical applications of existing theory.</p> <p>Organizations often struggle with inadequate or rhetorically insufficient crisis responses, leading to stakeholder dissatisfaction and subsequently loss of resources. In this article, I have addressed this problem. By examining to what extent, it is possible to create a new theory for selecting an image repair strategy that can be used both during crises and as an analytical tool in retrospect.</p> <p>Thus, proposing a new theory, the Model of Image Repair Selection (MIRS), and proposals for integrating the theory into crisis management efforts, offering practical solutions to the complexity of crises.</p> <p>Thus, this work proposes a new theory, the Model of Image Repair Selection (MIRS), along with recommendations for integrating the theory into crisis management efforts, offering practical solutions to address the complexity of crises. With this, MIRS has the potential to help organizations navigate and lessen the effects of crises. MIRS accommodates both the complex and dynamic dimensions of crises without excluding combinations with other approaches to crisis communication. By integrating the six major rhetorical strategies in crises into a model based on four parameters—risk, transparency, attitude, and communicative resources—MIRS enhances theoretical understanding and provides organizations with a valuable instrument for crisis management</p>Anna-Katrine M.
