Our society is changing, becoming a postmodern world with more attention paid to the emotional part of human beings. Organisations must develop new skills to enhance their members’ creativity and provide innovation in order to tackle new challenges. The transformation of our society provides also space for new thinking and new solutions; there is a need to be more open-minded. Organisational managers hence look into new directions to answer issues – one of them is the arts. One of arts’ manifestations in organisations is artistic interventions. Our study provides a presentation of this process, our understanding and reflection about this field and why we think it is relevant for the postmodern society in which we live. In this thesis we present our vision and theory of how a manager transforms themself into a leader through an artistic intervention and the impact on the organisational culture that the latter produces. We highlight the importance of the intervention’s follow-up and the way in which managers/leaders can lead this process to success. Our research is based on the existing literature in different fields that we have found relevant and that has enabled us to develop our own theory on the topic, with hope that it will interest other researchers to go further. In that sense, we give directions and reflections for future research.

My work is embodied in the relationship between the "expanded field of art" with the body, object and space. It turns out that during of the development of the thesis, I notice an obvious limits of this type of production to of the dissolution of the artistic field, increasingly subsumed by the sociological discourse, making it a sort of commodity to be traded as resistance art. The problem moves then to an investigation of appropriations that can be made that field - place without place - to incorporate them and transform them, at its base, so that art can still be produced once. And if, at first, the statement of a relationship between art and life becomes a militant way, programmatic and pragmatic, in a next moment requires a reflexive deepening method and language. The solution I found, caused by the tension of the current political moment, was to turn my attention to work betting on negativity, in exploring the dimension of emptiness and silence, thinking the lack as a possibility to add an idea, through the viewer's imagination. The practical result is the creation of a glass box, designed to fill the space of a door by means of resonance sound effect and vibration speakers, revealing a small continuous motion. My intention with this is to suggest a situation of instability and the imminence of a possible tragedy, condensing the premises of the field expanded into the critique of institutional debate. / A partir de uma problemática histórica que remonta, na arte brasileira, ao Concretismo e ao Neoconcretismo, desenvolvo, desde 1998, uma trajetória artística que utiliza a rua como laboratório de ações, de manifestações e de intervenções artísticas. Meu trabalho materializa-se na relação entre o “campo ampliado da arte” com o corpo do artista e do espectador, o objeto e o espaço. Acontece que, no desenvolvimento da tese, percebo um limite evidente desse tipo de produção à medida em que se dá a dissolução do campo artístico, cada vez mais subsumido pelo discurso sociológico, tornando-o uma espécie de commodity a ser negociada como arte de resistência. O problema desloca-se, então, para uma investigação das apropriações que podem ser feitas desse campo – lugar sem lugar – no sentido de incorporá-las e transformá-las, em sua base, para que a arte possa ser produzida ainda uma vez. E se, em um primeiro momento, a afirmação de uma relação entre arte e vida se faz de modo militante, programático e pragmático, em um momento seguinte exige-se um aprofundamento reflexivo de método e de linguagem. A solução por mim encontrada, motivada pela tensão do atual momento político, foi a de voltar a atenção para trabalhos que apostam na negatividade, na exploração da dimensão do vazio e do silêncio, pensando a falta como possibilidade de complemento de uma ideia, na imaginação do espectador. O resultado prático foi a criação de uma caixa de vidro, projetada para preencher o espaço de uma porta que, por meio do efeito de ressonância sonora e vibração de alto falantes, deixando transparecer um pequeno e continuado movimento. Minha intenção, com isto, é a de sugerir uma situação de instabilidade e iminência de uma possível tragédia, condensando as premissas do campo ampliado ao debate da crítica institucional.

[pt] A partir do conceito de intervenção de Robert Smithson criado nos final dos anos 60, em que transforma a própria ideia de sítio utilizada inicialmente nos trabalhos de Land art, ao trabalhar de forma orientada para os sites específicos e permite que sejam escavadas diferentes camadas de significado presentes nesses locais, reafirmando a capacidade da arte em penetrar questões de natureza política, econômica, social e cultural e introduzir um olhar crítico sobre a situação urbana. Tais contribuições de Smithson basearam as intervenções do projeto Arte/Cidade em seus quatro módulos realizados na cidade de São Paulo, no período de 1997 a 1997. As instalações do projeto levaram em consideração a escala urbana assim como aspectos sociais e políticos que insidiam em áreas escolhidas e enfatizaram contradições, perdas de referências e transformações sofridas pela metrópole. Busca-se no presente trabalho avaliar as contribuições do terceiro módulo do projeto, A Cidade e suas Histórias ocorrido na cidade de São Paulo em 1997, e suas articulações com história, patrimônio e utilização do espaço urbano na metrópole. / [en] From the concept of intervention of Robert Smithson created in the late 60s, it transforms the very idea of site initially used in the works of Land Art, while working in a targeted manner to specific sites and allows different layers of meaning are excavated present at these sites, confirming the ability of art to penetrate matters of political, economic, social and cultural nature and introduce a critical eye on the urban situation. Such contributions Smithson based project interventions Art / Town in its four modules conducted in the city of São Paulo, in the period 1997-1997. Facilities project took into consideration the urban scale as well as social and political aspects which threaten areas chosen and emphasized contradictions, loss of referrals and transformation within the metropolis. Search in the present work was to evaluate the contributions of the third module of the project, The City & Histories held in São Paulo in 1997, and its links with history, heritage and use of urban space in the metropolis.

The purpose of this thesis is to identify, describe and develop the understanding of what aspects at work are important for individuals' identity construction. In this understanding-oriented study the empirical data consists of three different groups: middle managers, cultural workers and “Airis-managers”. I have interpreted and analysed the 75 respondents’ stories, and in their experiences found similar patterns. My conclusion is that there are different dimensions at work that may affect the identity construction. My research question: What is it about work that is experienced as important for individuals’ identity construction? can be answered with the five different identity-related dimensions that I have identified: the enabling dimension, the legitimating dimension, the strengthening dimension, the touching dimension and the constraining dimension. All these dimensions, except the constraining dimension, contribute positively to identity construction. The constraining dimension can be compensated if the other positively confirming dimensions dominate. The identity construction for each individual appears different depending on what dimensions he/she experiences. That is why work’s impacts on the individual's identity construction vary. In order to illustrate the developed typology of identity-related dimensions, I created a model that aims to facilitate understanding of what aspects at work that may be important for the personal identity. When raising awareness of these dimensions, efforts to strengthen the most important dimensions can be made. Through their leadership and ways of organizing work, managers may influence their employees’ opportunities to construct and strengthen their identity. Much of the identity research discusses the more conscious identity work. In my third study my empirical data consists of managers’ who have brought artists into their organizations, i.e. conducted an artistic intervention called Airis. My interpretation is that implementing an artistic intervention can be considered as a way to challenge and develop the managers’ identity and be a part of their identity work. This thesis deals with “identity at work” (to reconnect to the title). People seldom discuss “identity construction” but that does not mean that identity issues are unimportant. On the contrary, people often talk about their jobs and their work experiences. What this "talk" really means is what this thesis highlights: Identity is constructed and confirmed at work, especially when others are told about the work-related experiences.

[ES] En esta tesis doctoral se aborda el concepto de la visión caleidoscópica con el fin de reflexionar en esta idea, asumiendo esta mirada en un sentido amplio, es decir, más allá de lo que se observa en un caleidoscopio. En concreto, el objeto de estudio determina la repercusión de esta polivisión caleidoscópica en el arte plástico y animación basada en la movilidad, reiteración simétrica, fragmentación y reintegración. De igual manera, asumiendo este principio se profundiza en la dinámica caleidoscópica, al subvertir los órdenes con la variación de algún elemento. De modo que se expone lo significativo de las disposiciones más singulares de los patrones, incorporando elementos de modificación o ruptura en la desintegración del lenguaje caleidoscópico con la finalidad de desestructurar o deconstruir la distribución de la red al alterar la simetría; o algún componente que visibilice estructuras menos lineales como alternativas a los patrones continuos, uniformes y cerrados, y en este caso se plantea un descentramiento y una abertura mayor. Se verificará en los procesos creativos un conjunto de obras en un contexto contemporáneo puede generar diversas lecturas y facetas que estimulen la creatividad. Por lo tanto, esta repercusión se analizará mediante obras plásticas y filmes de animación significativas, además, es relevante precisar que se analizará a través de métodos alternativos que pueden alterar la estructura convencional. Del mismo modo, se hará un recorrido y contextualización de esta visión en un orden conceptual y formal, junto a una exposición de juguetes ópticos vinculados a la imagen refleja entre los que se encuentra el caleidoscopio, con el fin de analizar la evolución del objeto y de la óptica del mismo, pasando por pequeños y grandes artefactos, analizando los elementos comunes que la conforman y también las diferencias, hasta ver en la actualidad la confluencia de esta óptica con los artefactos de gran formato. Este enfoque tiene el propósito de abrir la mirada y permitir una comprensión más amplia, interconectada y diversa, lo cual expresa aspectos de evolución. A la vez, se puede señalar, cómo finalmente esta óptica en la actualidad se lleva hacia la instalación o intervención artística con innovaciones a la par, es posible verificar cómo no es solo una visión en el arte, sino que esta idea de crecimiento se extiende, a la vida, al relacionarse con el entorno como un tejido de patrones en interacción. En este sentido, se sigue el concepto de "extimidad" (extimité), acuñado por Jacques Lacan en el siglo XX ya que, expresa la interrelación entre exterior e interior en un juego de inversión, donde lo íntimo pasa al exterior y viceversa. Esta noción en la tesis se extrapola al arte del caleidoscopio porque exterioriza algo que está en el interior y también en la visión caleidoscópica, donde se determina una sincronía entre el mundo externo e interno que transmite dicha visión. / [CA] En aquesta tesi doctoral s'aborda el concepte de la visió calidoscòpica amb la finalitat de reflexionar-hi, i s'assumeix aquesta mirada en un sentit ampli, és a dir, més enllà del que s'observa en un calidoscopi. En concret, l'objecte d'estudi determina la repercussió d'aquesta polivisió calidoscòpica en l'art plàstic i l'animació basada en la mobilitat, reiteració simètrica, fragmentació i reintegració. D'igual manera, assumint aquest principi s'aprofundeix en la dinàmica calidoscòpica, en subvertir els ordres amb la variació d'algun element; així s'exposa el significatiu de les disposicions més singulars dels patrons, incorporant elements de modificació o ruptura en la desintegració del llenguatge calidoscòpic amb la finalitat de desestructurar o desconstruir la distribució de la xarxa en alterar la simetria; o algun component que visibilitze estructures menys lineals com a alternatives als patrons continus, uniformes i tancats, i en aquest cas es planteja un descentrament i una obertura major. Es verificaran en els processos creatius un conjunt d'obres [que] en un context contemporani poden generar diverses lectures i facetes que estimulen la creativitat. Per tant, aquesta repercussió s'analitzarà mitjançant obres plàstiques i films d'animació significatives. A més, és rellevant precisar que s'analitzarà a través de mètodes alternatius que poden alterar l'estructura convencional. De la mateixa manera, es farà un recorregut i contextualització d'aquesta visió en un ordre conceptual i formal, al costat d'una exposició de joguets òptics vinculats a la imatge reflexa entre els quals hi ha el calidoscopi, amb la finalitat d'analitzar l'evolució de l'objecte i la seua l'òptica. Passarem per petits i grans artefactes i analitzarem els elements comuns que la conformen i també les diferències, fins a veure en l'actualitat la confluència d'aquesta òptica amb els artefactes de gran format. Aquest enfocament té el propòsit d'obrir la mirada i permetre una comprensió més àmplia, interconnectada i diversa, la qual cosa expressa aspectes d'evolució. Així mateix, es pot assenyalar com finalment aquesta òptica en l'actualitat porta cap a la instal·lació o intervenció artística amb innovacions i alhora, i és possible verificar com no és només una visió en l'art, sinó que la idea de creixement s'estén, a la vida, en relacionar-se amb l'entorn com un teixit de patrons en interacció. En aquest sentit, se segueix el concepte d'extimitat" (extimité), encunyat per Jacques Lacan en el segle XX ja que, expressa la interrelació entre exterior/interior i viceversa, en un joc d'inversió, on l'íntim passa a l'exterior i tots dos estan implicats. Aquesta noció en la tesi, s'extrapola a l'art del calidoscopi perquè exterioritza alguna cosa que està a l'interior i també en la visió calidoscòpica, on es determina una sincronia entre el món extern i intern que transmet la visió. / [EN] This doctoral thesis explores and reflects on the concept of the kaleidoscopic view, assuming this gaze in a broad sense; that is, beyond what is observed in a kaleidoscope. Specifically, the object of study determines the repercussions of this kaleidoscopic polyvision in plastic art and animation, with an image shaped by mobility, symmetrical reiteration, fragmentation and reintegration. Moreover, the kaleidoscopic dynamics are intensified by subverting the orders through the variation of certain elements. In this way, the significance of the most unique patterns is exposed, incorporating elements of modification or rupture in the disintegration of the kaleidoscopic language, with the aim of deconstructing the arrangement of the network by altering the symmetry. Similarly, the focus is shifted to less linear structures as alternatives to the continuous, uniform, closed patterns, through a decentring and greater opening. In the creative processes, a set of works in a contemporary context can generate multiple facets and diverse readings that stimulate creativity. Therefore, this repercussion will be analysed through significant works of plastic art and animation films, and applying alternative methods that can alter the conventional structure. Furthermore, there will be a conceptual and formal exploration and contextualisation of this vision, together with a discussion of optical toys linked to the reflex image, including the kaleidoscope. By so doing, the evolution of the object and its optics are analysed, passing through small and large artefacts, examining both the common elements and the differences, until we reach the confluence of these optics in the present-day large-format artefacts. This approach is intended to open the gaze and allow for a broader, interconnected and diverse understanding, incorporating aspects of evolution. At the same time, it is shown how this optic is nowadays is ultimately applied to installations or innovative artistic intervention. At the same time, it can be seen that it is not only a vision in art, but also the idea of growth extends out to life, relating to the environment as a series of woven, interacting patterns. In this sense, the concept of "extimacy" (extimité), a term coined by Jacques Lacan in the 20th century, is applied, as it expresses the interrelationship between exterior/interior in a game of inversion, where the intimate passes to the exterior and vice versa. In the thesis, this notion is extrapolated to the art of the kaleidoscope because it externalises something that is inside, and within the kaleidoscopic view there is a synchrony between the external and internal world that conveys this vision. / Quiero mostrar gratitud a las entidades financiadoras que han dado soporte a esta investigación por la ayuda de una FPI: Ministerio de Economía y Empresa, Gobierno de España y al Fondo Social Europeo por la cofinanciación recibida en la convocatoria: Ayuda para contrato predoctoral para la formación de Doctores. / Rama Sotos, T.
