![]() On this topic, we pass a not altogether optimistic commentary, itself informed by the excessive demand of adequately interpreting Bartleby.Īrtykuł przynosi reinterpretację Kopisty Bartleby. This particular discussion of Bartleby is connected to a more general discussion of a management and organization studies that has become increasingly reliant upon literary texts. On the basis of these interpretations we derive a concept of excess as the residual surplus of any categorical interpretation, the yet to be accounted for, the not yet explained, the un‐interpretable, the indeterminate, the always yet to arrive, precisely that which cannot be captured, held onto nor put in place. Our discussion focuses upon three of the most prominent contemporary Bartlebys: ‘The Politicized Bartleby’ of Slavoj Zizek, Michael Hardt and Antonio Negri ‘The Originary Bartleby’ of Gilles Deleuze and ‘The Whatever Bartleby’ of Giorgio Agamben. This paper engages with Herman Melville's short story Bartleby the Scrivener, as well as contemporary discussions thereof, so as to consider a peculiar concept of excess suggested to us by its main character. ![]()
