Dialogues on Entanglement: [Vol. 11 (Issues 1 and 2), 2026]

The Silk Road, once spanning 7,000 to 20,000 kilometers and thriving for more than 1,500 years, is gone.In its place, something new has emerged.Let's discover what it is. * * *In response to the orthodoxies that have dominated management since its inception, an alternative perspective has emerged in recent decades.This perspective recognizes and values the embodied, situated, and affective nature of organizing (Fotaki et al., 2017;Orlikowski, 2007;Thanem & Knights, 2019).This editorial aligns with this emerging perspective, following the common thread that connects the contributions in Volume 11 of puntOorg International Journal (pIJ).This Volume is devoted to organizational entanglement -located at the intersection of agency, reflexivity, and technology.In addition to presenting the two issues which comprise the volume, this editorial also extends an invitation: to move beyond managerial orthodoxies, and to inhabit the unruly terrain of embodied practices, sociomaterial entanglement, and criticaltheoretical experimentation.Bridging feminist critique, posthuman perspectives, and narrative action theory, this editorial invites the reader to pause on a simple intuition: organizing is woven through the same textures that sustain and trouble contemporary life: climate, capital, code, and care.These are living forces that pulse through our institutions, our technologies, and our bodies.They shape how we work, relate, and imagine the future.Every organizational gesture (from decision-making to data storage, from governance to daily cooperation) takes place within fragile ecologies of interdependence.To speak of organization, therefore, is to speak of these entanglements: of how matter, value, and affect continuously recompose the conditions of collective existence.From this awareness emerges a way of reading the volume as a whole: a shared inquiry into how organizing unfolds amid the tensions between vulnerability and control, exhaustion and creativity, habit and transformation.Each contribution explores a particular facet of this condition.For instance, Ruth Abrams (ultra) reflects on the affective economies of work and the hidden exhaustion that empowerment discourses may generate, revealing the intimate
