This book explores the undeveloped potential of video-ethnography to study the material, embodied and sensory dimensions of workplace practices. With the growing interest in sociomateriality and the development of research on the embodied and sensory dimensions of organizational practices, some methodological challenges of this type of research need to be addressed. The main purpose of this book is to present various forms of video-ethnography that make organizational phenomena visible and help better appreciate the organizing properties of bodies, affects, senses and spaces in workplace practices. To do so, illustrative cases based on video-ethnography was discussed to understand how experiential and unspoken ways of knowing produced through a video-based approach can be made meaningful and relevant to study the material, embodied and sensory dimension of work practices. This book is addressed to researchers and students in social sciences and organizational studies and offers a methodological reflection on how to study the material, embodied, and sensory dimensions of organizational life.

Reviews for Organizational Video-Ethnography Revisited: Making Visible Material, Embodied and Sensory Practices

The book valorizes the potentialities of video-ethnography making visible material, spatial, emotional, and sensory dimensions of workplace practices through the integration of participants' perspectives. Its reading can surely enrich the approach of STS scholars interested in these sensorial dimensions and in the situatedness of knowledge produced in and through intra- and inter-actions between human actors, heterogenous artifacts, visual technologies, and scientific practices.
