Abstract

Legitimation is a core topic of Management and Organization Studies. Actually, it is a very judgmental one, and in that sense, it is human-centered. In this chapter, we try to explore posthuman and prehuman views of legitimation and alegitimation. We explore a decentered, material process in which, paradoxically, only de-legitimation makes sense. We illustrate this idea with three scenes of the movie “The passenger”.
