Business, Ethics and Collective Memory

细分领域

Conceptual Development

How do different philosophical perspectives and moral traditions frame the tensions that underlie collective memory?

How can we understand collective memory as a constructive practice and process that constitutes social justice and fosters alternative movements in/through organizations?

How can we understand space, or spatialization, of collective memory as the architecture of moral reasoning for remembering and forgetting?

How do our predictions about how contemporary organizations will be remembered in the future influence our decisions to engage or not engage with these organizations today?

What novel insights do specific individuals or corporate actors (such as activists, NGOs, or secret organizations) bring into conceptualizing ethics-centred collective memory?

Collective Memory within and beyond organizations

How are narratives, storytelling and material-discursive practices used to (de-)politicize certain aspects of remembering and forgetting in collective memory?

What is the role of mnemotechnologies (e.g., digitalization) in voicing, silencing, or recreating historic (ir)responsibility?

How do extant collective memories of organizations shape engagement with them once these memories are ‘established’?

How do multiple stakeholders construct collective memory in organizations? What are the ethical tensions, issues and implications of such co-construction of collective memory?

How are digital transformations and tech companies transforming how collective memories are (re)constructed, preserved and reproduced by individuals, organizations, and society?

Individual Experiences and Collective Memory

What might be the ethical tensions and implications of the conflicts between the value, judgement, and/or identity of an individual member and the collective memory of an organization? Can these tensions be resolved? If so, how?

How is collective memory used to shift blame of an organizational wrongdoing to specific individuals as scapegoats?

How are individuals commemorated as part of collective memory for moral legitimation purposes of an organization? Do these individuals change over time? Or do their roles of moral legitimation change over time?

How are particular groups marginalized in and through collective memory?

How do social hyperconnectivity and the digital environment impact our individual collective memory capacities and perceptions, and how does this factor influence the deliberate and strategic construction of our collective memory of organizations?
