The hegemony of the rationalist paradigm - it is argued - led the scientific community to a sort of collective repression of the expressive dimensions of organizational life. The forms of this repression and the expedients adopted to reduce the cognitive dissonance created by this kind of blindness are explored. - Reproduced.
