Cet article aborde la question du rapport à l’altérité dans les romans d’expression française à partir de l’étude d’une image récurrente, celle de la maison qui brûle. Cette image, qui apparaît déjà en filigrane dans Au Cap Blomidon (1932) de Lionel Groulx, joue en effet un rôle central dans des romans comme Histoire de la maison qui brûle (1985) de France Daigle, L’Obomsawin (1987) de Daniel Poliquin, Un vent se lève qui éparpille (1999) de Jean Marc Dalpé et Le Coulonneux (1998) de Simone Chaput. L’analyse de l’image de la maison qui brûle permet de dégager comment se manifeste, dans tous ces romans, le rapport particulier qui est entretenu avec le temps, l’histoire et la mémoire, ainsi qu’avec l’altérité anglo-américaine. Ce rapport exprime bien la fragilité extrême des communautés francophones du Canada, que ce soit en Acadie, en Ontario ou au Manitoba. Abstract This paper addresses the question of the relation to otherness in French Canadian novels by examining the recurring image of the burning house. This image, which appears as early as in Lionel Groulx’s Au Cap Blomidon (1932), indeed plays a central role in novels like Histoire de la maison qui brûle (1985) by France Daigle, L’Obomsawin (1987) by Daniel Poliquin, Un vent se lève qui éparpille (1999) by Jean Marc Dalpé, and Le Coulonneux (1998) by Simone Chaput. The analysis of the burning house image helps to understand how the particular relation to time, history and memory as well as to the Anglo-American Other takes form in all these novels. This relation expresses well the extreme fragility of Francophone communities in Canada, whether those in Acadie, in Ontario or in Manitoba.

Ability And Willingness

In this paper we offer a preliminary study of the various ways in which ‘ruin’ has significance for organization studies. One important motif associated with both modern and romantic treatments of ruins concerns the revelatory impressions they make. In this respect the tradition of ruin writing will talk of their ‘beauty’, their ‘strangeness’ or their capacity to ‘intimidate’, which somehow never fails to strike a responsive nerve in us. In order to attend to this elusive phenomenon we must necessarily breach some of the self-imposed boundaries of our ‘discipline’. Taking up this challenge we follow W. G. Sebald in his use of contiguity as both method and textual structuring device, allowing us to drift across iconic ruin images, ruin theories and our own ruinous research experiences. This helps us learn how to ‘dwell’ in the ruin – without any impatient reaching after fact or explaining away ruins in the terms of an established tradition of theorizing in organization – and open up new analytic spaces and associations for organizational researchers. These concern specifically (a) a distinctive approach to time, history and memory; (b) an increased awareness of the multiplicity of forces impinging on organization, forces from which we so easily retreat behind the cordon sanitaire of organization-studies-as-usual; and (c) a cognisance of how the very way we write is a mode of doing organization that is crucial for our ability and willingness to look into ‘all corners of reality’ so that we might better grasp organizational phenomena.

ABSTRACT Dynamic capabilities (DCs) are the processes that organizations develop to remain competitive over time. However, in spite of the importance of temporality in the development of DCs, the roles of time, history, and memory remain largely implicit. In fact, most studies focus on the past as a source of constraints and limits for managerial action. Alternatively, we advocate for a social constructionist view of the past. Our core argument is that the capacity to manage the past is a critical competence of modern organizations. We argue that organizations can manage their collective memory as resources that aid the objective reproduction and exploitation of existing routines, the interpretive reconstruction and recombination of past capabilities for adaptation to environmental change, and the imaginative extension and exploration of collective memory for anticipated scenarios and outcomes. This renewed view of time, history, and memory is better suited for a dynamic theory of competitive advantage.

Process studies of organizations focus attention on how and why organizational actions and structures emerge, develop, grow or terminate over time. Time, timing, and temporality, are inherent to organizational process studies, yet time remains an under-theorized construct that has struggled to move beyond chronological conceptions of “clock” time. Missing from this linear view are ongoing debates about objectivity versus subjectivity in the experience of time, linear versus alternative structures of time, or an appreciation of collective or culturally determined inferences of temporality. This is critical because our understanding of time and temporality can shape how we view and relate to organizational phenomena—as unfolding processes or stable objects. History is an equally important but under-theorized concept in organization studies. Organizational theorists have struggled to move beyond two limited conceptualizations of historical processes: history as a constraint on organizations’ capacity for change, or history as a unique source of competitive advantage. Both approaches suffer from the restrictive view of history as an objective set of “brute facts” that are exterior to the individuals, organizations, and collectives that experience them. The historical turn in management has triggered an effort to re-theorize history in organizations in a more nuanced manner, and management theory is acquiring a “historical consciousness”—an awareness of time, history, and memory as critical elements in processes of organizing. This volume draws together emerging strands of interest in adopting a more nuanced orientation toward time and history to better understand the temporal aspects of organizational processes.
