SUMMARY:

After repeated requests for the area of Organizational Studies (OE) to become
involved with the theory of history, it is possible to state that organizational theorists

made the effort to introduce varied historiographical approaches through different onto-
epistemological choices. Although it is not difficult to observe that this effort still

neglects otherness thought on the margins of critical theorists located in the Western
Global North. Thus, my central argument in this dissertation is that the historiographical
approaches introduced in the institutional area of OE need to be engaged with the
ethical-political option of decoloniality. As a theoretical-methodological articulation, I
propose the Polyphonic Decolonial Historical Approach (PDHA) to co-construct
historical narratives about the past marked by silences imposed or caused by
coloniality. I expand the epistemic perception about the historical forms of organization
and management that can be understood from the popular festivals as an empirical
locus. Two questions guide this dissertation: (1) How can popular festivals be
understood as a locus of organization and management based on the PDHA? And (2)
why do popular festivals change or preserve certain ways of organization and
management throughout their history? The empirical context of the research was the
popular festival of São João that characterizes the June festivities in the Brazilian
Northeast, especially in the socioeconomic and cultural dimensions for the city of
Caruaru, Pernambuco, Brazil. The method was committed to the theoretical precepts
of the PDHA, following a qualitative approach of ethnographic incursion into historical
archives in the light of decoloniality and co-constructing historical narratives about the
past accessed through oral histories. The central contribution of the research was to
demonstrate that different elements seen as "traditional" or "modern" are hierarchized
by coloniality/modernity, making these elements coexist based on co-constructed
historical narratives about the organization and management of the São João festival.
