TY - JOUR PY - 2013// TI - Mundane objects and the banality of evil: the sociomateriality of a death camp JO - Journal of management inquiry A1 - Clegg, Stewart R.

We analyze, in particular, how processes of sociomateriality in the death camp contributed to create order and normalcy in an extreme and abnormal organization. A more nuanced view of agency ensues from this analysis, one that helps the understanding of how the creation of material spaces critically influences organizing, including the organizing of genocide.
