To study emerging methods of research in management, especially those that are

closely related to rhetoric of inquiry and other linguistic approaches. The course will

focus on the philosophical foundations of these methods and it is addressed to

students who are interested in the relationships between philosophy and social

research.

To present the first and second linguistic turns, which in the twentieth century constitute

an important background for linguistic methods such as conversation analysis,

discourse analysis and the introduction of narratives as a method of social sciences.

To present the Rhetoric of Inquiry, not as a way of talking well, but a discipline that

studies the means of persuasion by words. It involves a theory of argumentation, a

theory of communication and a logic for action. The course will focus on the, not always

recognized, rhetorical aspects of management research.

To give to doctoral students a conceptual framework of philosophy in which they can

situate and rethink basic concepts on knowledge, knowledge production, epistemology,

participatory action research.

To offer them emerging research methods related to communication and language;

rhetoric; metaphors and narratives

To train them in the critical and efficient use of these methodologies.

To promote research papers and research groups on linguistic methods, rhetoric,

narratives and management.
