>IV Meeting of Organizational Studies - Call for papers and activities
>
>ANPAD/PPGA Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul
>Porto Alegre, Brazil – June 4 to 6, 2006
>
>IV EnEO is a consequence of previous Meetings 
>and also of debates and suggestions produced in 
>the Panel space held in XXIX EnANPAD. The Panel 
>“<http://www.anpad.org.br/eneo2006-texto-orientador-painel-i.html>Preparing 
>the EnEO 2006” was initiated with the reading of 
>a text designated as Organizar no espaço-tempo 
>apropriado: teoria, política e prática 
>(“Organize in the appropriated space-time: 
>theory, politics and practice”), that has been 
>forwarded to the invitees. Thus, a first version 
>of the ideas expected to comprise the event’s 
>General Theme was presented to the audience. The 
>contribution of the panel members, followed by 
>numerous interventions of the participants, 
>showed the property of the indicated theme. 
>Besides, all the participations have pointed out 
>the need for innovation of the event’s formats 
>and papers. This call wants to express the most 
>part of the suggestions.
>
>As every one knows, EnEO is an event of the 
>Division of Organizational Studies of ANPAD. The 
>2006 edition will take place in Porto Alegre , 
>at the facilities of the Federal University of 
>the State of Rio Grande do Sul.
>
>Theory and practice appropriation may be 
>understood in many ways, among which we mention: 
>to honor our intellectual tradition, to approach 
>themes relevant to our time and space, to 
>interact in society as academics and citizens 
>concerned with our life and work context, to 
>incorporate traces of our cultural identity as 
>knowledge producers. It is not about adopting 
>naïve nationalism, nor the isolation in relation 
>to what is done in the rest of the world. What 
>is intended is to put in doubt where is the 
>center around which we organize and produce. 
>Doing so, evidently, we raise the possibility 
>that this center is located here. Here may and 
>must have many meanings: here in global south, 
>here in Latin America and in our proximity with 
>African countries, specially those of Portuguese 
>language, here in Brazil and its enormous 
>diversities of places and regions. Therefore, IV 
>EnEO will be organized around the central theme: 
>appropriating theory and practice, displacing 
>the center.
>
>We expect a great variety of contributions, once 
>the central theme of this call for the works 
>expresses a concern that for sure rounds our 
>community of organizations studies yet not in a 
>clearly expressed manner. Therefore, if there is 
>a challenge in this proposal, this is to 
>explicit our positions, reflections and 
>uncertainties about the appropriation of our 
>academic production.
>
>Besides the objective of the Meeting – 
>proportionate interaction, dialogue and debate, 
>reflections and articulation opportunity 
>approaching the central theme herein presented, 
>it is important to explicit a little more what 
>we expect to become reality during our 
>acquaintanceship in Porto Alegre:
>• debates about different theoretical 
>perspectives, always considering the center of 
>our context;
>• interaction moments with other disciplinary 
>fields, seeking for mutual fecundation;
>• spaces adequate to the articulation and the 
>exchange among researchers and research groups, 
>where experiments and projects may be debated 
>and shared;
>• meetings with the characters/organizations 
>that build the daily living in the city and in 
>the region that will host us.
>
>
>
>The submission of papers or the activities’ 
>proposal may be done in different modalities, 
>that is:
>
>A1 – COMPLETED PAPERS – must be considered as 
>Completed Papers those that the authors consider 
>matured, ready for the result presentation and 
>possible research development.
>
>A2 – PAPERS UNDER CONSTRUCTION - must be 
>considered as Papers Under Construction those in 
>which the intellectual and reflexive process in 
>under progress, with non-usual theoretical and 
>methodological approaches and/or utilizing 
>interdisciplinary interventions. Construction 
>does not mean not finished due to time 
>circumstances or research phase, but something 
>different that is on a moment of doubts and 
>uncertainties, requesting the discussion and 
>exchange with academy partners.
>
>A3 – INTERFACES BETWEEN ART AND ORGANIZATIONAL 
>STUDIES – Papers or activities may be 
>registered, such as videos or movies, dramas, 
>exhibitions of etnophotographs, visual 
>anthropology, among so many other possibilities.
>
>A4 – COLLECTIVE SESSIONS – spaces for dialogue 
>and articulation between: 1) nets and research 
>groups constituted that want to present their 
>production, results and future projects; and 2) 
>researchers that share study themes or 
>theoretical references even if not constituted 
>as nets or formal research groups. The JOINT 
>SESSIONS may be proposed through integrating 
>summary accompanied of summaries of each 
>presentation. EnEO’s organization will 
>proportionate, within the programming, moments 
>and physical spaces for dialogue and 
>articulation meetings after the presentation of 
>the joint sessions.
>
>The author(s) must indicate on the moment of 
>their papers submission, in which modality he 
>intend to register. Maximum of three (3) papers 
>per author included the set of four (4) 
>modalities proposed.

>
>Enlarged Summaries
>
>The selection of the papers, in each one of the 
>four (4) modalities above mentioned will be made 
>based upon an enlarged summary, with minimum one 
>page and a half, and maximum three pages of
