| Abstract: | This paper aims at exploring the possibilities of applying discourse analysis to the study of processuality, focusing especially on the construction of leadership discourses (here as: l-discrs.) in one particular type of art-producing organization, that is, the symphony orchestra. The versatile and paradoxical nature of the l-discrs. are demonstrated and the processual nature of these discourses as to their contradictory, relational and translocal nature is explored. L-discrs. do vary over time, still remaining surprisingly and disappointingly stable. It is concluded that despite the current state of affairs, there is definitely hope for alternative leadership models to emerge and become more powerful. |
