AB  - The sensemaking literature offered important critical insights to the understanding of organizing. These have
been underpinned by two foundational assumptions. First, sensemaking is predominantly a higher order cognitive
process. Second, it is a process desired and desirable. Considering the account of Vann Nath as prisoner of the S-21
extermination center during the Khmer Rouge regime, we challenge these assumptions and argue that, in some
cases, sensemaking is fundamentally a bodily and emotional process, one that is undesired and blocked by the
organization in which it takes place. The shift in perspective triggered by an extreme context has pertinent
implications for the understanding of sensemaking in other, non-extreme organizational circumstances.
