RESUMO

Este artigo utiliza-se do jazz como um veículo metafórico para redescrever o conceito de estrutura organizacional de forma adequada ao vocabulário emergente dos estudos organizacionais. É apresentada uma descrição de alguns elementos básicos da performance do jazz – solo, acompanhamento, trading fours, pergunta e resposta, groove e sensibilidade –, sustentando a redescrição da estrutura organizacional como sendo ambígua, emocional e temporal. De maneira reflexiva, o artigo não somente demonstra os conceitos aos quais se refere, mas apresenta uma performance, a exemplo do jazz, do método de Rorty da redescrição por meio da metáfora.

Palavras-chave: Estrutura organizacional, estudos organizacionais, jazz, metáfora, criatividade.

ABSTRACT

This paper uses jazz as a metaphoric vehicle for redescribing the concept of organizational structure in ways that fit within the emerging vocabulary of organization studies. The metaphoric comparison begins with a description of some basic elements of jazz performance – soloing, comping, trading fours, listening and responding, groove and feel – and builds on those to redescribe organizational structure as ambiguous, emotional, and temporal. In reflexive fashion, this concept is not only demonstrated, but a jazz-like performance of Rorty’s method of redescription via metaphor is presented.

Key words: Organizational structure, organization studies, jazz, metaphor, creativity.
