Neighborhood watch 2.0? : Storytelling, partnership creation and the physical location’s significance (Swedish)
Abstract [en]

The purpose of this study is to investigate the storytelling processes taking place in the network here called the Partnership, founded by three actors in Malmö, Sweden. The Partnership has its roots in WorldPride 2021 and aims to work with inclusion. The storytelling processes in question deal with the Partnership’s geographical position, history as well as attempts to form a common present and future. Our theoretical framework combines a new institutional approach towards organizations and their context with David M. Boje and Barbara Czarniawska’s theories on organizing through storytelling. The main theoretical concepts used in this study are Boje’s antenarrative and Tamaraland together with Czarniawska’s actor net. As for empirical approach, the study uses qualitative interviews to investigate the storytelling processes taking place in the Partnership as well as the organizational context around it. The results of the study show that the Partnership is actively working with storytelling as a legitimizing factor for the collaboration. However, the Partnership struggles with formulating antenarratives that will bring together their geographical position in the city, the lived stories of today and their aims for the future. The study’s results provide insights on the collective sensemaking dynamics that take place in network-based organization and how they can be used in city branding and urban governance contexts.

 

Abstract [sv]

Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka de berättandeprocesserna som äger rum i ett specifikt nätverk som i vår studie kallas för Partnerskapet, grundat av tre aktörer i Malmö. Partnerskapet har sina rötter i WorldPride 2021 med syfte att arbeta med inkludering. Berättandeprocesserna i fråga handlar om Partnerskapets geografiska position, historia samt försök att forma en gemensam nutid och framtid. Vårt teoretiska ramverk utgår ifrån ett nyinstitutionellt synsätt på organisationer som kombineras med David M. Bojes och Barbara Czarniawskas teorier om organisering genom storytelling. De centrala teoretiska begreppen som används i denna studie är Bojes antenarrativ och Tamara-land tillsammans med Czarniawskas handlingsnät. Vad gäller studiens empiriska material har vi använt oss av kvalitativa intervjuer för att undersöka berättandeprocesserna som pågår i Partnerskapet och dess organisatoriska omvärld. Studiens resultat visar att Partnerskapet arbetar aktivt med storytelling som en legitimerande faktor för samarbetet. Partnerskapet brottas däremot med att formulera antenarrativ som kan föra samman deras geografiska position i staden med de levda berättelserna i nutid och deras avsikter inför framtiden. Studiens resultat bidrar till förståelse kring de kollektiva meningsskapande dynamikerna som tar plats i organisering genom nätverk och hur dessa kan användas i city branding och urban governance sammanhang.
