O Elemento Sócio-Histórico e a Administração: Cornelius Castoriadis e a Literatura de Jorge Amado

The purpose of this study is examining, introducing, and discussing the theoretical works by Cornelius Castoriadis, in order to enrich organizational analysis within the sphere of Administration. By retrieving, organizing, and discussing the main concepts of Castoriadis' work, our research pushes the construction of a rather complex, dense, and dynamic thought, mainly supported by the socio-historical concept. This is mobilized in the context of Brazilian society, its organizations, and its management standards through the novel Gabriela, Clove and Cinnamon, one of the most popular books by Jorge Amado. Methodology is based on discursive analysis and fiction as invaluable sources of knowledge production. The interpretive focus lies on three fields: society, organizations, and Administration.
