This paper situates organisational transparency in an agonistic space that is shaped by the interplay of ‘mechanisms power adhere to a truth’ and critical practices come from below movement ‘not being governed like at cost’ (Foucault, 2003: 265). positioning involves understanding as practice historically contingent multiple, thus negotiable contested. By illustrating entanglement ‘power through transparency’ ‘counter-transparency’ with reference example Edward Snowden’s whistleblowing, contributes critique debates on use Foucauldian concepts post-panoptic contexts organising. introducing notion ‘counter-transparency’, expands conceptual vocabulary for politics ethics managing organising visibility.
