• Sommario/riassunto: The book 'The Posthumanist Epistemology of Practice Theory: Re-imagining Method in Organization Studies and Beyond,' edited by Michela Cozza and Silvia Gherardi, explores the intersections of posthumanism and practice theory in organizational studies. It challenges traditional epistemological frameworks by integrating concepts from feminist materialism, science and technology studies, and arts-based methods. The authors aim to reimagine research methodologies to better encompass complex, entangled relationships within organizational settings. The work is intended for scholars and practitioners interested in innovative approaches to understanding organizational dynamics and is particularly relevant to those in the fields of sociology, organizational studies, and interdisciplinary research.
