Abstract

In this article, we develop an analytical perspective to examine how an organization's mode of being is constituted and experienced through ongoing processes of communication. To show the use and implications of this perspective, we analyze how members and partners of Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF, a.k.a.`Doctors Without Borders'), a renowned humanitarian organization, coproduce and problematize the presence of their organization in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Africa.
