    Sammanfattning : Desire has been recognized as a crucial driver of entrepreneurial behavior and economic development for over a century, but despite its central position in the theorization of entrepreneurship, its underlying philosophical assumptions are rarely questioned. Seeking to pave the way for an understanding of desire as a quality of entrepreneurial practices, in this dissertation I uncover and problematize the prevailing understanding of desire in entrepreneurship research, which frequently entails viewing desire as a motivational force situated within the entrepreneurial subject.

    Sammanfattning : The aim of this study is to examine the two novels Le Rouge et le Noir and La Chartreuse de Parme in the light of the theory of 'triangular desire', elaborated by René Girard in Mensonge romantique et vérité romanesque (1961). According to this theory, desire in Stendhal's novels – that is desire in a very general sense – is not spontaneous, but derived from a third part, that Girard labels the 'mediator' or the 'Other'.
