Abstract
What happens if we abandon thinking about information systems (IS) in terms of fixed prescriptions or scientific models? What happens if we leave behind order, simplicity, sequence, and linearity, and in turn, embrace the sensuous, dramatic, vital, messy, and emotional? What a project for IT researchers!
In this brief reflection, I share my first encounter with Claudio Ciborra and my reading of his article Crisis and foundations: an inquiry into the nature and limits of models and methods in the information systems discipline (1998), a favorite paper of mine, pivotal to my doctoral work carried out in 2000–2003 (CitationHenriksen/Strand, 2003) and new projects in the making.
