Description
This book presents an experiential, aesthetic-affective approach to the study of institutions. It complements current thinking about institutions by showing how institutions constitute people long before people constitute them.
Elke Weik is an Associate Professor at the University of Southern Denmark. Her major research areas are located within institutional theory, historical approaches and organizational philosophy. She continues to be fascinated by the marginal, fluid and misfitting. For this reason she has explored the institutional side of wine-making, giving birth, the Knights Templar as well as the emergence of the university in the Middle Ages. She has published in major journals like The Academy of Management Review, Management Learning and Organization.
