Resumo: Given the asymmetric context of power in the production of knowledge and the institutional perpetuation of coloniality in the area of Management and Organization Studies (MOS), our reflection in this article presents two general contributions based on the articulation between the disciplines of management, history, and literature. Initially, we asked how we could (re)think the criticism in MOS from a historical-decolonial perspective in face of the reality of local management that constitutes our empirical demands. In response, we rescued the literary work “Macunaíma, the hero without character” written by Mário de Andrade, and the concept of anthropophagy.  We propose to think about critical epistemological projects that understand the epistemic mismatch between the Global North and the Global South. We argue that the construct: management in reverse and without character - provides a theoretical potential for the interpretation of management practiced in the Global South, which comprises elements such as the non-identity; conflicting and ambiguous modern/colonial “place”; in addition to reverberating anthropophagic traits demarcating tropical management through transculturation, flexibility, adaptability, and miscibility. Finally, we show how previous experiences with popular culture organizations presented the analytical and multi-universal ambivalence of local management. Organizational characteristics such as ancestry, daily life, mysticisms, and transmission of knowledge through orality are presented in the article.

De início, perguntamos como poderíamos repensar a crítica nos Estudos Organizacionais (EOR) a partir do olhar histórico-decolonial frente à realidade da gestão local que constitui nossas demandas empíricas. Assim, resgatamos a obra literária “Macunaíma, o herói sem nenhum caráter”, escrito por Mário de Andrade, e o conceito de antropofagia, para propormos projetos epistemológicos críticos que compreendam o descompasso epistêmico entre o Norte e o Sul Global. Argumentamos que o constructo de gestão “às avessas e sem caráter” fornece um potencial teórico de interpretação da gestão praticada no Sul Global, a qual compreende elementos de não unicidade identitária, de um “entre lugar” moderno/colonial conflituoso e ambíguo, além de reverberar traços antropofágicos que demarcam a gestão tropical mediante à transculturação, flexibilidade, adaptabilidade e miscibilidade. Ao final, mostramos como nossas experiências anteriores com organizações das culturas populares nos possibilitou apresentar a ambivalência analítica e pluriversal da gestão local através de traços organizacionais derivados da ancestralidade, cotidiano, misticismos e transmissão de saberes pela oralidade.Instituto Brasileiro de Estudos e Pesquisas Sociais - IBEPESSilva, Ítalo daDias, Pâmela Karolinados Santos, Elisabeth Cavalcante2021-11-18info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttp://www.periodicosibepes.org.br/index.php/recadm/article/view/340810.21529/RECADM.2021024Revista Eletrônica de Ciência Administrativa; v. 20, n. 4 (2021): Verso, Prosa, Drama e Ficção: Literatura e Organizações; 683-714Revista Eletrônica de Ciência Administrativa; v. 20, n. 4 (2021): Verso, Prosa, Drama e Ficção: Literatura e Organizações; 683-714Revista Eletrônica de Ciência Administrativa; v. 20, n. 4 (2021): Verso, Prosa, Drama e Ficção: Literatura e Organizações; 683-7141677-738710.21529/RECADM.20212004reponame:Revista Eletrônica de Ciência Administrativainstname:Faculdade Cenecista de Campo Largo (FACECLA)instacron:FACECLAporhttp://www.periodicosibepes.org.br/index.php/recadm/article/view/3408/1146http://www.periodicosibepes.org.br/index.php/recadm/article/downloadSuppFile/3408/1137Direitos autorais 2021 Ítalo da Silva, Pâmela Karolina Dias, Elisabeth Cavalcante dos Santoshttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2022-04-29T19:13:01Zoai:periodicosibepes.org.br:article/3408Revistahttp://www.periodicosibepes.org.br/recadmONGhttp://www.periodicosibepes.org.br/recadm/oairecadm.editor@ibepes.org.br1677-73871677-7387opendoar:2022-04-29T19:13:01Revista Eletrônica de Ciência Administrativa - Faculdade Cenecista de Campo Largo (FACECLA)false
