Prelims -- Introduction -- Managing organizational pluralism : how individuals navigate moral contradictions and compromise -- Looking at organizations critically : rhetoric, justification and criticism-as-practice -- Reconsidering valuation and evaluation in organizations -- Pushing the boundaries of pragmatic sociology's theoretical agenda -- Index. The papers included in the volume explore how mobilizing Boltanski and Thévenot's EW framework helps address questions regarding the premises and dynamics of agreement and disagreement in coordinated action, both within and across organizations, and by so doing, help advance our understanding of organizational processes more generally. The book is organized into four sections, each with contributions that address one of the four core theoretical objectives around which the volume is structured (1) to clarify how individuals manage the contradictions and compromises inherent to organizational pluralism; (2) to look at organizations critically by unpacking the roles of rhetoric and justification in the practice of critique; (3) to reconsider valuation and evaluation in organizations; and (4) to push the boundaries of the EW framework. These four objectives provide a scaffolding that helps further embed the framework in our contemporary thinking about organizations.
