    READINGS Student Facilitator will 1)explore RPO theme indicated in this colum, 2) you will select the text readings with input from Instructor and 3) orient it to your own choice of system field project. Note must be an ontological qualitative study. Not 1st, 2nd, or 3rd wave Grounded Theory. Must develop 4th wave GT RPO.

    Topic-Content & Participative-Learning process of the Day, Please come to class with your answer typed out, choose several articles/chapters to include & reference in your answer).

    Instructions: Each class one student will enact the participative learning process in the class and fine-tune the topic content, by posing two Homework Questions, and co-leading the discussion time with me. That student needs to prepare by meeting with the instructor ahead of time, preferably during office hours, the week before the class meets. Each week you will be asked to give Feedback in writing, in Homework, to one peer's answers to the 2 questions.

    Homework Question Mgt 655 (2 parts):

    Bring to next class (typed out)

     

    1A: Use Plato Dialectic with a friend to explore their 'concept' definition of system (use the 5 steps in Boje YouTube video) that we practiced in class today? (tape it, and provide some excerpts in typed answer)

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zeX_0zAOf6Q&feature=youtu.be on both Intro to 4th Wave Grounded Theory and Plato's Dialectic

    1B: Draw and do storytelling about and upgraded RPO1 - Plato's double twisted spiral for an organization system you are familiar with and embodied within? (narrate about your drawing; it can be some other way of doing dialectic approach to spiraling systems; see study guide on Plato, for ways knowledge-spiral is not dialectic, is if anything a slave-system, a managerialist way to extract lay knowledge of workers, make it part of organizational information system, and this deskills workers (since now the organizaiton possesses and redistributes knowlege that is no longer the worker's own).

    Note: Students are to bring printout(s) of their two answers to the next week's class meeting. We won't be using Canvas at all

    Boje and Sabine's lesson plan combine PRO2 and PRO3 to do a YouTube

    Homework QUESTIONS 2/3A

    What is Relationality in Marx and in Hegel

    What is Procecss in Marx and in Hegel

    What is Ontology in Marx and in Hegel

    and 2/3B: How does their RPO apply to the TFW Virus that is rampant tody in Organization Systems?

    Begin with Karl Marx's (1845) THE GERMAN IDEOLOGY, look at every instance his criticism of Hegel 'system' and the ammendments Marx, makes to it. Marx is critiquing both Hegel's Phenomenology of Spirit and the Philosophy of Right. Your challenge is to sort out

    . Students are to bring printout(s) of their answers to the class meeting.

    Topic example: How does Marx & Engel's dialectic of historical materialism similar and different from Hegel's dialectic of spirt and self/other?

    Topic example: Where are we in 2017 in the history of dialectical materialism - 'crisis of capitalism', the current negation of negation (see Anti-Duhring chapter on negation of negation?

    "Dialectics teaches us that sooner or later, things change into their opposite" - this is the negation of the negation, but each new counter-negation only overcomes the contradictions of prior negation partically. So for me,its a spiral-antenarrative: a downward spiral somes to an end, and is replaced by its negation, an upward spiral, which is then negated, as the contradictions of its upswing have the fodder for its decline into downward spiral.

    Definition: Dialectical Materialism is a way of understanding reality; whether thoughts, emotions, or the material world. Simply stated, this methodology is the combination of Dialectics and Materialism. The materialist dialectic is the theoretical foundation of Marxism (while being communist is the practiceof Marxism).

    Definition: Historical materialism is a methodological approach to the study of human societies and their development over time that was first articulated by Karl Marx (1818–1883) as the materialist conception of history. (source Wiki).

    Co-Facilitator: Please focus on our guest, Judith Flores Carmona (Education College) who will talk of Critical Race Theory and the advanced qualitative method of Critical Ethhnography.

    Read this article:Flores Carmona, Judith. "Cutting out Their Tongues: Mujeres' Testimonios and the Malintzin Researcher." Journal of Latino/Latin American Studies 6, no. 2 (2014): 113-124.

    "'Critical ethnography’s core purpose is to foster emancipation of community members and constituents involved in the ethnography. Therefore, critical ethnography works against inequitable practices, toward emancipation, and helps us reveal oppressive relations of power' (Villenas & Foley, 2002, p. 196). The ethnography is written in a narrative form. It takes this form based on what is seen, experienced, and how these findings are aligned to specific theoretical frameworks" (Judith Floraes Carmona, pp. 116-117).

    What is True Storytelling? In ontology, it would not be relativism. Walter Benjamin's classic essay 'The Storyteller..." uses term 'true storytelling.' In Heidegger, it would be facticity meets historicality. In Bhaskar its those generative mechanisms beneath the veil of surface narrative. And so on, we can look to all the RPOs this term and see different renditions of True Storytelling.
