What are the building blocks that ultimately constitute this social form, so pervasive in our daily life? Like Augustine facing the problem of time, we all know what an organization is, but we seem unable to explain it. This book brings an original answer by mobilizing concepts traditionally reserved to linguistics, analytical philosophy, and semiotics. Based on Algirdas Julien Greimas' semio-narrative model of action and Jacques Derrida's concept of écriture, a reconceptualization of speech act theory is proposed in which communication is treated as an act of delegation where human and nonhuman agents are mobilized (texts, machines, employees, architectural elements, managers, etc.). Perfectly congruent with the last development of the sociology of translation developed by Michel Callon and Bruno Latour, this perspective illustrates the organizing property of communication through a process called 'interactoriality'. Jacques Lacan used to say that the unconscious is structured like a language. This book shows that a social organization is structured like a narrative. 410 0$aPragmatics & beyond ;$vnew ser. 65. 606 $aSpeech acts (Linguistics) 606 $aOral communication$xPhilosophy 606 $aSemiotics 615 0$aSpeech acts (Linguistics) 615 0$aOral communication$xPhilosophy. 615 0$aSemiotics. 676 $a306.44 686 $aPI 3070$2rvk 700 $aCooren$b Francois$0930727 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910956852503321 996 $aThe organizing property of communication$94346057 997 $aUNINA
