ABSTRACT
The eruption and dissemination so widely of a discourse as influential as that of management must, it would seem, in this post-modern age where the self is regarded as a discursive production, in some way influence the formation of persons, particularly the persons who have become managers and/or who have studied management. In what ways is the subjectivity of the manager constituted through the enactment of ‘dumbed-down’ male rationality using expressionless art, unscientific science and the law of the phallus? This chapter seeks to discover what expressions of the self are made possible or inhibited through the study and practice of management.
