摘要：In 1978, Lefty Rosenthal¡ªa former Chicago bookmaker¡ªbecame Director of Entertain-ment at the Stardust Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas. Roemer (1994: 111), in his bookabout Vegas, says, .Lefty had traveled a road paved with controversy and dispute. Iguess you could say Lefty was representative of Las Vegas.. What makes the Rosen-thal story interesting and relevant to organizational theory. We intend to analyzewhether Lefty is "representative" of Las Vegas, and in doing so, we examine the issueof representation. Specifically, we analyze the story, as told by Roemer (1994) and Pileg-gi (1995), from a historical point of view and, then, from a Jungian archetypal point ofview. However, we would like to be somewhat post-Jungian, and following the Anti-Oedi-pus of Deleuze and Guattari (1977), we will put forward a revised Jungian account forthe material genealogy of Las Vegas. We conclude the paper by commenting upon the"demise of representation" (Knights, 1997) and its implications for organizational theory
