Theorising place as practiced object of consumption : a street ethnographic story

Sundaram, Usha January 2016 (has links)
This study theorises and conceptualises place as an object of consumption, formed, shaped, and affected through practices. The study problematizes place treatments in extant managerial sciences and its contextual interpretations within consumption. It draws from a range of disciplinary inspirations from management studies, social sciences, philosophical, and phenomenological musings to empirically interrogate place construct using ethnography, in itself understood as placemaking practice. It analyses and interprets place through the lens of practice theories and non-representational methods to conceptualise place in consumption, and critically revisits its ontological hierarchy vis-à-vis space. The study delivers several methodological, theoretical, and axiological contributions. It uses an adapted form of historical street ethnography to interrogate place, imbuing it with a critical reflexive standpoint, and positions a revitalised and reinvigorated street ethnography as a critical reflexive epistemic tool of knowledge production in the analytical transitions from phenomenological to post-phenomenological narratives. The study’s theoretical, discipline-specific contributions arise from synchronous examinations of place, consumption, practice, and non-representations. It empirically validates heuristics of non-representation and practices in contextually examining place in consumption, appreciates genomic qualities of practices brigaded through universality of human experiences as pools of actions and competencies articulating consumption, and contemplates place as a processual, aspatial, fluid entity grasped beyond marketplace logic through practices. It expands understandings of marketplace, setting, structure, and actor, and invites attention to the liquefied, flowing nature of market and consumption through place plasticity and path-dependent practices. It emphasises the illocutionary force of place as object of consumption shaped through and in each moment of practice. The study empirically validates the reenchanted ontology of place, resituating it as the universal supreme abstract with space and time as component, co-constitutive elements, thus resituating extant place-space hierarchy. The study’s axiological and managerial contributions highlight mutability of practices in shaping place beyond marketplace logic in its many forms and settings, valorise everyday activities in shaping marketplace, illuminate the role of public, civic, and communal spaces and their contributions in the transition from market economy to marketized society not captured by marketplace discourses, and invite practice and non-representations into depictions of place marketing and consumption.

Rôle des représentations sociales et du lieu dans les pratiques d’accompagnement des professionnels du coaching et relations avec la posture d’évaluation / Social representation and place in professionals support practices coaching and relationship with the attitude of the practitioner

Beroud, Jean-Yves 21 November 2016 (has links)
Le coaching professionnel regroupe un ensemble de pratiques qui ne disent, a priori, rien de la posture du praticien. L’intervention qu’il met en œuvre relève des métiers de l’évaluation, il est ainsi nommé évaluateur-coach. Le dispositif dépend ainsi soit d’une logique de contrôle en posture de conseiller, soit d’une logique d’accompagnement en posture d’accompagnateur professionnel. Le travail de problématisation vise à questionner le rapport entretenu par l’évaluateur-coach avec son lieu de pratique. Il s’inscrit dans un cadre théorique de mise en tension des concepts d’évaluation, d’accompagnement et de lieu. En ce sens, l’utilisation de la méthodologie quantitative, qualitative des représentations sociales permet de questionner la représentation du coach sur son métier et son lieu d’exercice ainsi que le rapport qu’il entretient avec le lieu. À partir d’un échantillon de cinquante coachs, les résultats mettent en évidence une majorité de praticiens dans le guidage et le développement personnel. De plus, il est caractérisé à partir du rapport que l’évaluateur-coach entretient avec le lieu, des critères signifiants de la logique d’évaluation préférentielle du praticien. Les résultats sont modélisés à partir d’un kaléidoscope de postures en situation : le pilote orienté solution, le facilitateur maïeuticien, le praticien en développement personnel et le coach clinicien. / Professional coaching is a set of practices that in principle do not really reveal the attitude of the practitioner. The intervention he implements is about business evaluation and that is why he is called mentor-assessor. Therefore, such a scheme depends either on the idea of controlling businesses as a counselor or guiding them as a professional guide. The work of problematization here is to question the relationship maintained by the mentor-assessor with his place of practice. It is part of a theoretical framework putting together evaluation concepts, support and place. In this sense, the use of quantitative and qualitative methods of social representations allows to question the representation of the mentor-assessor on his work and his place of practice as well as the relationship he has with the workplace. From a sample of fifty coaches, the results show a majority of practitioners in the position of guidance and personal development. The report also points out that the mentor-assessor has with the workplace, meaningful preferential assessment criteria of the practitioner. The results are modeled from a kaleidoscope attitude situation which are: the solution-oriented guide, the birth coach facilitator, the practitioner in personal development and the clinician coach.
