Yes, as I wrote that thing about ...Thanks, Yiannis. Yes, as I wrote that thing about aesthetic experience I was not sure what I was really trying to say, hence the weasel question mark! I certainly don’t deny there’s an aesthetics of organization (or of organization theory, which is what that thing I wrote that you mention was about), and there is also an organization of aesthetics. But at the moment we experience a piece of music, say, I wonder if there is not something outside of organization. You could say that this experience is culturally organized – perhaps in particular that we recognize it to be ‘music’ as such – but there is perhaps still something in the particularity of our experience that is (and could never be?) organized. Anyway I think something like that is what I meant, but I wouldn’t put it forward with any confidence as a thesis!Chris Greyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02998257504878295964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8823502262667106874.post-77794388813735929812016-02-13T10:12:46.601+00:002016-02-13T10:12:46.601+00:00Very interesting posting, Chris.

I particularly liked your debunking of the word 'context' which has started to irritate me greatly lately - its naturalization as something unproblematic, given and a-political. I am also interested on the reasons why you irritate so much your correspondent. I suspect he does not recognize your right to speak with authority about anything other than your academic specialism. I wonder why this is so, when everyone can write what they please on the web. Finally, I am not so sure why you exempt aesthetic experience from the remit of organization. Quite apart from the persistent line of organizational aesthetics (I remember you once commenting that what surprises you about organizations is their ugliness!), I suppose that aesthetic experience involves some degree of ambiguity between organization and disorganization.
