Dossier: Organizational discourse: contexts, practices and production of meanings

In the field of communication, organizations can be taken as relational environments instituted and updated by and in discursive practices, either from institutional processes and strategies, or from disturbances caused between management forces and emergencies of audiences. In addition, the power of organizational discourses in the perspective of instituting worldviews that, in some way, converge with the principles and desires of the organizations themselves, is evident. Therefore, organizational discourses are symbolic conformations, marked by interactional traces, oriented to produce effects of specific meanings with a view to instituting certain truths. In these discourses, individuals take places (subject positions); in them symbolic forms prescribe concrete processes of material (re)production – a gesture that, in contemporary contexts, tends to be crossed by strategic sophistications and by outbursts of experiences.

Thus, different epistemic-theoretical and methodological perspectives of discourses have gained space in the scope of research on organizational discourse due to their power as research lenses, especially when they allow us to pay attention to the complex and dynamic processes that intend to constitute stability, define identity contours and strategic positions, naturalize power relations, (dis)qualify differences, affirm legitimacy, generate recognition and establish structures, among other things.

Organizational discourses, therefore, imply unfinished interactional processes between organizations and audiences, although they present themselves as a field of disputes shaped by (never fully attainable) desires for accommodation, capture and/or control by management strategies and by the desires of building concept images, becoming categories that reveal contexts, power relations, resource distribution and diverse disputes. In this configuration, both professional fields of communication and communicational spheres emerging from audiences present themselves as spaces that reveal discursive practices, dear to organizational communication studies.

In this dossier, Revista Organicom seeks to gather epistemic, theoretical, empirical and/or methodological studies that mobilize different approaches to Organizational Discourse, aimed at highlighting contexts, practices and processes of production and circulation of meanings in the relational environments that constitute and cross interactions between organizations and audiences.

  • Discursive practices and power relations
