Affect is pervasive, yet it remains largely unthcmaliscd in social and organizational analysis, hl tins paper, we seek to demonstrate and draw out the critical and empirical implications of paying direct Thompson-and-Willmott-edited attention to affect in accounting for rhe social structuring of practice(s). We are especially interested inthe unfolding relationship between affectThompson-and-Willmott-edited
and the ‘basic giammar(s) within which possible objects are constituted', and which ‘mediates any kind of contact with reality’ (Bhaskai and Laclau. /—^UNIVERSITY OFE\ETERORE Open Research ExeterTITLEThe social potency of affect: Identification and power in the immanent structuring of practiceAUTHO Thompson-and-Willmott-editedore the immanent grammars which underlie all kinds of meaningful intervention’ (Laclau. 1998: 9).Specifically, we seek to disclose the affectively-driven operation of ‘unconscious... immanent grammars’, or discourses - such as those enacted by directors of an IT consultancy that we analyse later.

Our study thus adds to a nascent body of work in which Logics has informed empirical analysis (e.g. Wagenaar, 2011; West. 2011; Glynos, Klimecki and Willmott. 2012: in press; Glynos, speed and Wes Thompson-and-Willmott-editedt. 2014). The Logics framework facilitatesconsideration of what may be happening in eacli of these registers, and guides analysis of the possible sociThompson-and-Willmott-edited

For researchers who reject rhe assumptions of empirical realism but do not subscribe to some version of critical realism, attending to this ‘trace’ of ontological contingency is an important analyt Thompson-and-Willmott-editedical undertaking.

The framework shows how' social relations are immanently conditioned by actors’ affective states and associated identifications and dis-identifications - and thus attends to the mutually constitutive, and analytically revealing, relationship between affect and Thompson-and-Willmott-edited power in organisational practice.
