The WEAVE project “Bureaugraphies” (Vienna, Basel, Friedrichshafen, Cologne) investigates the configurations of cultural, media, and writing techniques of administration that can be observed—both within and beyond formal rules, as well as inside and outside concrete office environments—amid the various transformations of bureaucratic orders in the 20th century. Focusing on the resulting question of the relay function of bureaucratic practices between administrative systems and their environments, the workshop places at its center a concept from Niklas Luhmann’s early work in organizational sociology that has so far received little attention: “Grenzstellen” (boundary points). The discussion will explore how organizations present themselves at their margins and how they must reveal their assumptions about the environment.
