i’m just a silly man who needs a shave
An incisive rebuttal laying bear bare the overdetermined intersection of social identity theory, categorization, hierarchy and agency within organizations. Bravo.
Clearly, organizational theory would be better off if it had more bears.

A triumph for ANT!
With the winter storm raging outside, this post is most welcome. Thanks, Sean.

I recommend the original book (1947 I think), with Tashlin’s drawings, not these, and no music or added language. My hardback copy, which my parents read to me, has long since fallen apart. Dover published a paperback. There was a record that was true to the original and without music, read (if I remember correctly — always a dicey bet) by Keenan Wynn.

Jay,
There is a 2010 hardcover version. The New York Review published it with Tashlin’s drawings. And you can download Keenan Wynn’s narrated version as an MP3 file.

Randy, thanks. I’d forgotten that the Wynn recording had music. And the text Wynn uses in that recording is different from the book, at least at the beginning.
