This chapter builds on the model of microfoundations elaborated in Chapter 4 to develop a model of how different kinds of social interaction — for example decision making, sense making, and collective mobilization — mediate between institutional logics and the dynamics of identities and practices within and across organizations. The chapter bridges the literature on institutional logics, practice, and organizational identity; it links the organization and institutional field levels of analysis. It develops two novel process models to conceptualize organizational identity and practices as the key conceptual linkages between institutional logics and intra-organizational processes. The models are recursive in that institutional logics shape organizational identities and practices and vice versa.Less

This chapter considers situations in which, independent of the impetus provided by a central power, a pack sometimes assembles in spite of itself, sometimes even against itself, for a manhunt. For there to be a pack, individuals have to gather together. A pack is a collective being that draws its strength from numbers. Once caught, the prey will succumb to a multitude of blows or bites: all the pack's members will have killed the prey, but none of them will be the killer. The pack deindividualizes its members. Its unity is merely temporary, however. Once the hunt is over, it disperses. The question of manhunts as forms of collective mobilization is thus constantly raised in terms of the enigmatic resurgence or mysterious relapse into a primitive barbarity. So the riddle can be formulated this way: how can archaic violence reemerge at the very heart of civilization? A case in point is the event of lynching. Feminists have proposed a theory of the continuum of sexist violence. The thesis holds equally well for racist violence.Less

This book concludes with a discussion of the Gülen Movement's (GM) role in the marketization of Muslim politics in Turkey. It explores the ambiguous politics of post-political, market Islam and how the development policies associated with Kemalist republicanism, institutional laicism, and limited democratization gave rise to a unique sociopolitical context in late twentieth-century Turkey. It then considers how Islam emerged as a cultural point of contention that pitted state against society in an attempt to win the hearts and minds of the people. It argues that Fethullah Gülen can be best defined as a collective voice of neoliberal social conservatism—free markets, pious nationalism, pluralist democracy, and civil dialogue. In other words, the GM is a collective mobilization whose actors seek to normalize neo-liberal wealth accumulation with aspirations for faith-based social change. In this way, the GM plays a central role in a grand effort to increase “the Muslim share” in Turkey's political economy and to rationalize (marketize) Turkish Islam.Less

For the greater part of the last century, Chicago Heights Italians found themselves on the wrong end of the cultural, political, and economic hierarchy in the city. This position made it extremely difficult for Italians to make recognizable gains in social mobility for themselves or their families. This chapter examines the collective mobilization strategies—labor organizing, mutual-aid societies, and ethnic entrepreneurship—that Chicago Heights Italians pursued in response to the diminished opportunities for mobility. Each collective mobilization was fueled by the social capital in the community. Each generated success stories. But each also came up against obstacles that limited their appeal in the Italian community.Less
