Title: The political-theory performativity of social and environmental accounting

My research focuses on the political-theory performativity of social and environmental accounting (SEA) towards a sustainable and equitable future society. Karen Barad’s agential realism, emphasizing the entanglement of SEA actors and practices in a political apparatus, is used as a framework for understanding and conceptualizing the underlying ethico-onto-epistemological (EOP) assumptions. Bridging accounting and organizational theory and using a Baradian lens on the illustrative case on the Task Force for Climate related Disclosures (TCFD), I introduce a recursive model of SEA’s political-theory performativity that is firmly embedded in these assumptions.
