Organização e perspectivismo ameríndio: uma possibilidade para multiplicidade conceitual

Abstract

The present work is theoretical in nature written in the form of an essay. In three articles we present the construction of a thought exercise that we classify as an imagination experience. Inspired by reflections on the needs found in research in the critical area of Organizational Studies (OS), we propose a field approach using theoretical paths and possibilities that we find in the anthropology of Viveiros de Castro and the philosophy of Deleuze and Guattari. Considering the organization as the main object in the field of OS, and its use as a tool that perpetuates the maintenance of a technical and rational understanding of organizational processes, we propose a reflection that considers its contradictions and also points to possibilities of resistance through an expansion, flexibility and reconceptualization of the term organization. In the first article, we reflect on the construction of the concept of organization, its dynamics of functioning as an object of technique, and we propose a contingent analysis view of the organization (considering it as a verb and not as a noun), building a bridge for experimentations and reflections of organize/organization in other realities. In the second article, we present the Amerindian thinking, known as Amerindian Perspectivism or Multinaturalism, highlight its main concepts and show its relationship with the philosophy of Deleuze and Guattari, considering issues such as the philosophy of difference, rhizome and multiplicity. In the third and last article, we end the essay by carrying out an experimentation and imagination exercise of the concept of organizing based on Amerindian thinking and the philosophy of Deleuze-Guattarian, with no objective of presenting a conclusion, but of building a possible way of reflection on the opening of the concept of organization to multiplicity.
