Dear colleagues,
we would like to draw your attention to our current call for papers on the
topic of Technology and the Organization of Fields.
Our special issue in the new Journal of Organizational Sociology will bring
together theoretical and empirical contributions that advance our
understanding of the link between technology and the organization of social
fields.
Papers will address the role of technology in field constitution and change
and/or the role of fields in the design, production, and use of technology.
The SI has two main goals: (1) it aims to systematize and integrate research
on technology in the various strands of field theory that are a major part of
organizational sociology. (2) it will bring field theory to bear on major
technological developments, such as platformization, datafication and the rise
of AI, which are at the core of what has been termed the digital
transformation.
Contributions may address (i) how sociological field theories can be extended
to analyze the relationship between technology and field organization, (ii)
how theories from the social studies of technology and innovation can be
extended to account for the organization of fields and their influence on
technology, (iii) the subtle role of technology in fields where the
development, production, or use of technologies is not the primary issue or
purpose, and (iv) the influence of the digital transformation and the major
technological developments associated with it on the structure, emergence, and
evolution of fields.
Submissions will follow a three-step process. Abstracts (500 words) need to be
submitted to david.seibt@jku.at and dzifa.ametowobla@btu.de by Dec 15. The
authors of selected contributions will be invited to submit short papers (4000
words) to a virtual authors conference in Apr 2025. Final manuscripts
(6000-10000 words) are due on Jun 1 2025.
