Abstract

Fiction, notably in its most popular forms, is an effective way to analyze organizational practices. In the Simpsons series, in particular, organizations and institutions play an important part in the context. The argumentation developed in this article relies on the Simpsons to revisit academic production on transgression and actors conflicting relationship to organizational rules. Beyond the example of the Simpsons, fiction enables to better take into account the symbolic dimension of organizations. By providing alternative visions of organizational life, fiction allows to renew both research and managerial practice.
