Newsletter – July 2013
Call for papers
An indicative, but not exhaustive, list of topics that this call for papers hopes to stimulate are:
. What are the forms and processes of authority and authority construction in the portrayal of crises?
. Do contemporary crises create spaces for new forms of leadership?
. How do contemporary crises (‘constructed’ and/or ‘construed’) come into being, and what are the implications for leadership?
. How are ‘solutions’ to crises construed and institutionalized? – What processes of leadership, followership or authority are evident? And what are their effects?
. How are versions of leadership that seek to be socially progressive and emancipatory to be pursued or sustained, if at all, in times of crises-construction?
. What discursive and extra-discursive elements and processes are at play in crisis construction?
. What impact do crises have on the fields or relations that sustain or produce leadership, followership or authority?
. What are the differences and similarities in multi-layered processes and realms of crises – personal, organizational, social, national or global?
. How do crises in leadership play out in different domains (for instance, developing economies, emerging economies)?
