Postface: The Jester Returns - Selected Readings and Eclectic Opinions on Sociomateriality going mainstream in Management and Organization Studies

We summarize recent work in the information systems discipline concerning sociomateriality where there is a growing body of work combining constructive critical, conceptual and empirical research to in-depth contributions which extend sociomaterial theory with insights for practice. That work, true to the original concept, counteracts recent critique and establishes that sociomateriality does not represent an end point for academic inquiry into organizational and information systems related phenomena, but is a starting point. It demonstrates that a strong sociomaterial stance is not unable to explain the emergence of sociomaterial assemblages and practices, quite the opposite; it provides detailed and convincing empirical evidence and accounts with a strong explanatory power.
