Tamara: Journal for Critical Organization Inquiry
The Law of Jante in a Local Translation
Göteborg University, Sweden
Abstract
In this chapter, I investigate a specific aspect of the relationship between literature and social
sciences. I believe that the insights of a novelistic imagination become translated into popular
culture and, in this way, reach social practices. Thus, social sciences need to pay attention to
this process as it constitutes an important part of the circle of representation and formation
that connects literature with social practices.
