How Organizational Change Can Become Grounded in Primordial Temporality?

 

David Michael Boje

 

January 6, 2024

M

Antenarrative is a word I invented in the 2001 book, Narrative Methods for Organizational & Communication Research to get at process dynamics of organizational storytelling. First, ANTE (is short for antecedent, what comes BEFORE). Second, ANTE means a BET. It in the 2001 book as 'BEFORE-narrative' and a 'BET on the future.' Now there are 7 B's I will introduce to you.
LOOK INSIDE:Read Introduction to my book then you will know the complete answer!


"Antenarrative is defined as ‘the fragmented, non-linear, incoherent, collective, unplotted, and pre-narrative speculation, a bet, a proper narrative can be constituted’" (Boje, 2001: 1).


Antenarrative is defined as the already there processes that are pre-constitutive of 'narrative' and 'living story':  Beneath, Before, Bets, Being, Becoming, Between, and Beyond.


MENU



Antenarrative comes out of the worldhood of dynamic storytelling processes. As of today, I have explored seven antenarrating processes are pre-constitutive of (grand, coherent, elite, colonizing) narratives that generalize away the "Living Stories" and "Microstoria" aliveness that we are living.  Antenarrating is a verb of action, movement.  Antenarrating the Before, the Bets, was joined over the years by Beneath, Becoming, Between, Being, & Beyond.  Find out more: Antenarrative BLOG!

In 2001 book, I proposed a new word "ANTEnarrative" defining two key aspects:



First,  the fragmented, non-linear, incoherent, improper, collectively, multi-voiced, multi-logical, messiness of the BEFORE.  BEFORE the proper elite narrative supplements and imposes supplemental order of proper imposed, add-on of the illusion of plots with Chronos of Beginning-Middle-End (BME). Before all that Western ways of narrative is TwoTrees' 'Living Story'  (with its place, its timing, its aliveness), pre-story, pre-understanding, and pre-narrative soup of dynamic flow of chaos and anarchy. Plot is an illusion because there is no separation of past, present and future.


 



Second, Ante-up BETS on the Future of the Gambler. The card dealer shouts, ante-up your bet, put it in the pot, then I will deal the next card.  Ante-up or fold your cards.       An "ante" is an amount of money that each player in a game has to pay before every hand. You will have the "blinds", the "straddle" (if the game is using a straddle) and an "ante" - in all three cases, impacted players will need to contribute money to the pot. With the ante, each player at the table needs to contribute the same amount before the hand takes place. Guess what? Organizations play the game of Ante-Up, in their world-making strategies.



So What? Good question to ask! Antes are paid by everyone, and then cards are dealt, and the final outcome revealed, once and for all!




Antes are paid by every organization in the betting market, at the opening Bell of the stock market.  There is ante-upping going on before the Bell is rung to start the trading.

 

What is the ante-post? It is a bet is placed one day prior to the race.   In horse racing and greyhound racing, an ante-post bet is a bet placed before the horse/greyhound racing course's betting market has opened, and is made on the expectation that the price of the horse/greyhound is presently more favorable than it will be when the course's market opens.


Organizations play in the betting market, with ante-up and ante-post bets.


There is great expectation and an
ticipation of the outcome of organizational strategies made in the hush-hush secrecy of the board room. Strategists do a lot of gambling, speculation in the betting market that I call the "Bets on the Future". Ante-up and ante-post are done in advance, as investors and operations make their preparations-in-advance of the REVEAL. These ante-up and ante-post antecedent  processes are ANTECEDENT to the outcome.  This is how organizational change works. Ante-up then the manifestation of strategy-in-action implemented more fully. There are processes set-in-motion by a gaggle of organizations, watching one another's Ante-ups, and Ante-posts in the betting market of oganizational action.



 

Question: What are the 5 Dimensions of ANTEnarrative?


  1. BEFORE is many twisted history. With each new event, we have a tendency to rehistoricize, picking out different history, sometimes a history not there at all. BEFORE is already there, and post hoc the imposed plot of Beginning-Middle-End plot is imposed , those branded stories of marketing branded onto the already-there of 'Living Storytelling' fieldand 'living historical memory of workers and customers, and many others.'   A 'living story'-telling has a place, a time, and a 'mind' all its own. This is how Kaylynn TwoTrees (1997) explained the indigenous notion of 'living story' along with the Lakota penalty for telling it wrongly, 'death.' Why death? Because the survival of the tribe depended on passing along what we call a true 'living story.' Living stories have their own aliveness, and may not come forth in unsafe spaces.
  2. BETS are the ante-ups, ante-posts in the betting market, the speculation of the hush-hush board room, preparations of operations, then the launch, the implementation of the organizational strategy.  A YouTube on Bet Sizing 101.

    What is Down Betting In Poker?
  3. FLOW Antecedent waves, currents, or going with the flow, waiting for the wave. FLOW is a pattern, and knowing when to jump on your board to surf the wave that is right for you. FLOW is something to find in cooperative as the exception to organizational anarchy. Observing the FLOW pattern in the  churning turbulence, the multi-voiced (polyphonic), the multi-logic (poly-logics) contending in organizational storytelling, more anarchy as the norm of anarchy and turbulence of organizational conditions.
  4. TAMARA-LAND This is my most famous of 140 journal articles. Every organization that has more than one room is a Tamara-Land.   Click Here for Article pdf Why? Because you cannot be in every room at once. In an organization with 6 rooms, there are six factorial path ways of networking, a choice of 740 paths, and you are choosing only a few. People arrive at the same room form different path routes. So what? The people in same room, get different meaning inference from waht they see and hear going on.  If it is a 12 room organization, that is 12 factorial, 479,001,600 route pathways to get from one place to another. YOu chase stories all day long, and cannot be in very room at once.  In John Krizanc's original Play (Tamara), people are in a mansion, and get a 1920s passport. He wants them not just to be entertained, but to chase stories, and characters, who keep changing the story. Why? To experience Mussolini fascism.
  5. FLUX is key to understanding organizational transformation. The consensus-seeking, consensus imposing colonizing narrative reifies the FLUX of ongoing Transformation.  Flux and Transformation processes in the collective diversity of memory is key to antenarrative. All in complex organizations is in FLUX and TRANSFORMATION of change (Click for Prezi), if not, it's game over. Fold em and go home. Why? Becaue there is an antenarrative process of BECOMING, COMING-to-BE out of the FLUX and TRANSFORMATION, and all the contending different kinds of Enthinkment. See Enthinkment.com and the Enthinkment Circle sessions on Tuesdays, for more on this dimension.

Over the Years, the BEFORE and BETS expanded from 2 antenarrative process to 7.

7 Antenarrative Processes, adapted from BOJE 2022 download book on Pondy, until published

Ante has 7 B-processes & Fore means ‘in advance of’ Narrative-closure, -coherence, … with
Baby-will-be-what examples of Fore (Yell fore in-advance of what we do).


1 Beneath

Fore-conception is to ‘Go Beneath’ the language to the silent spaces between words, the pauses in speech & writing, to the Flux, Flow, and movement. For example, listening to baby talk, and wondering what the silence means or parents disagreeing about upbringing.

2 Before

Fore-having is the twisted & entangled histories. It is looking backwards with retrospective sensemaking.  But it is challenging quite shallow histories erase most of history by marginalizing microstoria (little people’s history of resistance to grand narratives). Before is an on-going rehistoricizing of the past with new preferences. For example, a baby born into parent's and grandparent's history, and into what society expects of babies and parents.

3 Bets

Fore-sight is looking-forward to Futures arriving.We ante-up (as in poker) into the pot. We observe each others anteing. Are they bluffing? It is prospective sensemaking denied by Henri Bergson, and organization studies until 2001. 'Bets on the Future' is done by many players making many plots. It is not treating a linear Beginning-Middle-End narrative (BME narrative) as the only plot and getting blindsided.  BME narrative keeps cherry-picking select actors and very few events, thereby hiding the futures arriving. Very short-sighted. For example, parents make bets on a baby unborn, and Ante-Up new baby furniture and baby clothing, while planning the baby's choice of university.

4 Being


           

Fore-getting in double meaning: (1) fore-getting Kairos (in Greek hitting the target in right moment) of Timing, in stead of Chronos (chronological, sequential time). Time is inseparable from spacing (in places) and mattering of sociomateriality (SpaceTimeMattering inseparability in Karen Barad’s work). Fore-getting our Being-in-the-World we are thrown into illusion. For example, a baby has Being-in-the-world in place, with adorable moments of Kairos.

5 Becoming

Fore-caring is itself an ethical process of caring, Becoming is what is coming-to-be in-Be-in-the-World. It is caring for all species, not humancentric. For Pondy it is beyond open system thinking, and is an organic nature way of thinking (see Ehthinkment.com). We can think in-advance of just enactment of retrospective sensemaking or prospective sense-making, for example the baby arriving, not yet born has a future.

6 Between

Fore-structuring is a process of setting up infrastructure in-advance. It is pauses of silence between words spoken or written. In True Storytelling System, it is pauses between the four-hearts. Fore-structuring, for example, baby-proofing a house before the baby arrives in-the-world.

7 Beyond
                 

Fore-grasping by intuitive, the 6th sense in Grace Ann Rosile’s (2016) Tribal Wisdom for Business Ethics & her HorseSenseAtWork.com. Indigenous Ways of Knowing, (IWOK). The Abduction best intelligent guess in Charles Sanders Peirce semiotics. It can be spiritual awareness Beyond the five senses of sensemaking. For example, I make a best guess about why the baby is crying, and try this or that, until baby is happily playing again.
