Rather than favoring one care logic over the other, this paper indicates how important aspects of care are constantly negotiated between different care practices. Based on the intricate everyday negotiations observed during an ethnographic field study at an elderly nursing home in Germany, the paper puts forth the argument that care is always a matter of tinkering with different, sometimes competing 'goods'. This tinkering process, which unfolds through 'intuitive deliberation', 'situated assessments' and 'affective juggling' is then theorized along the conceptualization of a 'practical ethics of care': an ethics which makes no a priori judgements of what may be considered as good or bad care, but instead calls for momentary judgements that are pliable across changing situations.

Inspired by Italo Calvino’s ideas on the future of literature in the form of memos, they try to imagine in a similar way how classrooms might become enacted differently in the future by writing memos on features such as inventiveness, thirdness, playfulness, experimentalism, nimbleness and asceticism/athleticism. Remembering some innovative opera and dance performances in the Brussels art scene, they reflect upon how these artistic companies are engaging with experimentation and how this is mirrored in approaches to art education. Considering the creative bravura of the performing arts and their educational practices, the authors urge us to experiment with how management education can be done with similar danger and daring, giving some inspiration to ‘swim along with them’ by turning to some illustrative practices from three Master’s courses.

It can be argued that organizations can only be vehicles, i.e. spaces for intervention, which need explicitly to be related to societal discourses. This conceptual framework is developed in the context of a research project focusing on intervention initiatives in Danish social psychiatry, re-addressing the position of psychiatric patients. It is effected through exploring three conceptual lines. First, we re-read the literature of OD from a becoming ontology, indicating its exclusion of history and time as part of its analytic frame. Second, we develop the notion of 'care of the self as a way to understand how one can work patiently at one's own (discursive) limits. Third, we develop a conceptual frame of nomadic intervention, through the writings of Deleuze and Guattari, which makes such a nomadic practice of the care of the self possible. The paper seeks to be stone thrown in the water, where OD and HRM is active, and where the expanding circles in the water remind us that every concrete intervention is a matter of politics/ ethics.
