Repositioning concepts: The organization out off axis

ABSTRACT

The study of resistance organizations, multiplicity of social experiences squandered by the dominant organizational discourse, is one of the critical political actions in the context of organizational studies. Although Brazil has a long critical path in critical analysis of organizations, the alternatives are often addressed in an abstract and conceptual mode. Thus, through an intrinsic case study, we analyzed the organizational dynamics of the Off Axis Circuit (FDE), a grouping of collectives that make independent cultural production, as an organization at the limit of the dominant discursive social formation. Through FDE analysis, we seek to demonstrate the limits of the dominant theoretical framework in the study of organizations, presenting alternative approaches that seem more appropriate to explain the social context in which we live
