Organizing Color

Bag om Organizing Color

"We live in a world that is saturated with color, but how ought we make sense of color's force and capacities? This book develops a theory of color as fundamental medium of the social. Constructed as a montage of scenes from the past two hundred years, Organizing Color demonstrates how the interests of capital, management, governance and science have wrestled with colour's allure and flux. Classifying and profitably controlling people, practices and habits, color also proves to be an unruly, evasive and liberating force. Beyes takes readers from Goethe's chocolate experiments in search of chromatic transformation to nineteenth-century Scottish cotton mills designed to modulate workers' moods and productivity, from the colonial production of Indigo in India to globalized categories of skin colorism and their disavowal. Tracing the consumption, control and excess of industrial and digital color, other chapters stage encounters with the literary chromatics of Pynchon's Gravity's Rainbow processing the machinery of the chemical industries, the red of political revolt in Godard's films, and the blur of education and critique in Steyerl's Adorno's Grey. Contributing to a more general reconsideration of aesthetic capitalism and the role of sensory media, this book addresses debates in media studies, organization studies and wider social and cultural thought as it seeks to pioneer a theory of social organization - a 'chromatics of organizing' - that is attuned to the protean and world-making capacity of color"--
