Resumo: Departing from a post-humanist perspective (Actor-Network Theory), this paper seeks to analyze objects and non-humans as constituent agents of organizing. Given the increasing influence of post-humanist perspectives in social sciences, and more specifically in organizational analyses, we develop the idea about the application of ANT symmetry notion as a key resource to analyze organizational practices. We try to articulate the symmetry notion with considerations about social practices in order to stress the role of objects and non-humans in organizing. Besides that, we present and discuss some empirical studies developed in this direction as well as highlight some empirical investigation possibilities. We conclude that by taken into account the role played by non-humans and objects it is possible to open new insights in the analysis of social practices. We also highlight that the main challenge is to produce a method that can analyze such processes without relying on humans as central actors.

Considerando a crescente influência do pós-humanismo nas ciências humanas e, mais especificamente, na análise organizacional, desenvolvemos a idéia de aplicação do conceito de simetria, da teoria ator-rede, como uma lente de análise que permite investigar, simetricamente, humanos e não-humanos em práticas específicas no âmbito das organizações. Articulamos a noção de simetria com o desdobrar de práticas sociais, bem como o papel dos objetos e não-humanos nesse processo. Apresentamos e discutimos, a título de ilustração, alguns trabalhos que identificaram como os elementos materiais se fazem presentes e dão forma às atividades no cotidiano organizacional. Concluímos que a inclusão dos não-humanos na análise das organizações permite ampliar os horizontes de investigação, muito embora, o principal desafio talvez seja construir uma metodologia suficientemente capaz de apreender e observar esses elementos em seus contextos de atuação.Escola Brasileira de Administração Pública e de Empresas da Fundação Getulio Vargas2009-01-01info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.fgv.br/cadernosebape/article/view/5105Cadernos EBAPE.BR; Vol. 7 No. 1 (2009); 50 a 70Cadernos EBAPE.BR; Vol. 7 Núm. 1 (2009); 50 a 70Cadernos EBAPE.BR; v. 7 n. 1 (2009); 50 a 701679-3951reponame:Cadernos EBAPE.BRinstname:Fundação Getulio Vargas (FGV)instacron:FGVporhttps://periodicos.fgv.br/cadernosebape/article/view/5105/3839Tureta, CésarAlcadipani, Rafaelinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2016-10-10T17:19:34Zoai:ojs.periodicos.fgv.br:article/5105Revistahttps://periodicos.fgv.br/cadernosebapehttps://periodicos.fgv.br/cadernosebape/oaicadernosebape@fgv.br||cadernosebape@fgv.br1679-39511679-3951opendoar:2024-05-13T09:59:28.659299Cadernos EBAPE.BR - Fundação Getulio Vargas (FGV)true
