Abstract

This paper dreams forward the mythical patriarchal imagery of management stories. Eleusinian and alchemical memes return to guide an ironic Manichean Feminist deconstruction of patriarchal ego consciousness that forms the ossification whereby management texts recreate the symbolism of a heroic immortality. The role of the feminine on this stage is all-too-predictably ambiguous.
