Sociology 250 October 14, 1999 Rationalization and Bureaucracy A. Rationalization Rationalization as an ideal type and as an historical force appears in much of Weber's writings. He regards the development of rational forms to be one of the most important characteristics of the development of Western society and capitalism. Weber viewed traditional and charismatic forms as irrational, or at least non-rational. The latter may rely on religion, magic, or the supernatural as a way of explaining the social world and authority may also derive from these. These may have no systematic form of development, but may rely on personal insight, revelation, emotions and feelings, features that are non-rational in form. In contrast, rationality consists of a set of social actions governed by reason or reasoning, calculation, plus rational pursuit of one's interests. Rationality forms a large part of rational-legal authority and there are several characteristics that Weber considers as aspects of rationality (Ritzer, pp. 124-125). Actions in the economic sphere or in formal organizations such as universities have most of these characteristics and many of these can be taken as examples of rationality. Calculability . Results can be calculated or estimated by adopting assumptions and considering the methods by which results will be achieved. This is especially the case in formal institutions or in businesses Efficiency . Actors have various ends and attempt to find the best means to achieving these ends.

Without understating the role of violent intervention, Ivan Evans shows that apartheid was sustained by a great and ever-swelling bureaucracy. The Department of Native Affairs (DNA), which had dwindled during the last years of the segregation regime, unexpectedly revived and became the arrogant, authoritarian fortress of apartheid after 1948. The DNA was a major player in the prolonged exclusion of Africans from citizenship and the establishment of a racially repressive labor market. Exploring the connections between racial domination and bureaucratic growth in South Africa, Evans points out that the DNA's transformation of oppression into "civil administration" institutionalized and, for whites, legitimized a vast, coercive bureaucratic culture, which ensnared millions of Africans in its workings and corrupted the entire state. Evans focuses on certain features of apartheidthe pass system, the "racialization of space" in urban areas, and the cooptation of African chiefs in the Bantustansin order to make it clear that the state's relentless administration, not its overtly repressive institutions, was the most distinctive feature of South Africa in the 1950s.

BROWN SOC COURSES SEM 1, '00-01 Sociology 150, Semester 1 (fall), 2000-01 Bureaucracy and Society Elmar Rieger Course Outline and Reading List Modern society is to a large degree a bureaucratic society, i.e. many of its functional requirements such as allocation of means and social integration are carried out and controlled by complex organizations. But governmental bureaucracies are not the only important organizations from the viewpoint of the integration of society. The most powerful social units which make up modern society are bureaucracies. To the German sociologist Max Weber, the distinguishing characteristic of modern capitalism is the "rational organization of free labor". Big business and (not so big) labor just as political parties and school systems make up a good part of the societal web. The still growing utilization of complex organization also means that in order to effectively exercise our rights of dissent and representation we must employ bureaucracies. We shall examine the bureaucratic phenomenon at the core of organizations which characterize our present world, and as it is found in the realities of modern social life. The social sience to be learned in this course is one which is guided by problems of life and practice rather than by intellectually self-generated conceptions and techniques. The strength of sociology is identifying issues . In addition, not only the devil but also sociology is in the details of

Most of us are born in hospitals, educated in schools, employed by companies, provided with services by our local and federal governments, pay taxes to those governments, and end our days in the hands of a church or a funeral home. Our dependence on organizations is one of the signal features of modernity. In this course, we will analyze how organizations have become so prolific and so powerful. Themes of the class will include: How organizations evolved historically from the church and the military How organizations relate to and affect one another The variety of ways in which organizations can be structured internally, and how this affects their outputs

Sociology of Work: Concepts and Cases Carol Auster Thousand Oaks, CA: Pine Forge Press ISBN 8039 9033 2 xxiv + 456 pp. Order this book Sociology's subfield of work and occupations covers a lot of ground. Work can be understood in multiple contexts: cultural, economic, organizational, and occupational. The immediate relevance of work to a student, however, is more personal: what will the world of work be like for me? Carol Auster's The Sociology of Work: Concepts and Cases addresses the student's pressing question; it is a textbook that is less about work as a social phenomenon and more about workers' experiences. As such, it is most accurately described as a textbook on the sociology of workers. And, with this more micro-level approach, it is markedly less structural in its emphasis than texts on the sociology of work authored by Hall (1994) and Auster organizes the material in terms of how workers experience their jobs: what factors influence occupational choice, how workers are socialized to the norms of the workplace, how workers feel about their jobs, ways in which workers bend the rules on the job, how workers deal with the dual demands of work and family, and how technological changes in the workplace affect workers. Each chapter concludes with multiple case studies that illustrate the concepts introduced in the text. The case studies are very engaging and range from the predictable pieces on doctors and lawyers to less conventional choices on such occupations as fences (that is, middlemen for stolen merchandise), basketball coaches, and garbage collectors. Auster's extensive use of case studies is valuable in that it makes the abstract material in the text more relevant to students and introduces them to kinds of work with which they are probably unfamiliar.

Sociology 101B Spring, 2000 Michael Burawoy HISTORY OF SOCIAL THEORY This is the second semester of our two semester course devoted to the history of social theory. Last semester we studied the development of Marxism beginning with the writings of Marx and Engels followed by Lenin, Gramsci and Fanon. This semester we will study various critical responses to Marxism, beginning with Durkheim and Weber, and then moving on to contemporary theorists, namely Foucault, De Beauvoir, and MacKinnon. Although the critique of Marx and Marxism has loomed large in sociological theory, we can also construct a dialogue among Durkheim, Weber, Foucault and feminism. Thus, we will see how Weber can be viewed as a response to Durkheim, how Foucault combines and moves beyond both of these and how feminism, assimilates, rejects and moves beyond the entire sociological canon. As last semester, we will study our theorists through the lens of the division of labor and the inspiration this gives to their different conceptions of history. We will see how the major historical divide is not, as it was for Marxism, between a communist future and a pre-communist past, but between "modern," "rational-legal," "industrial" and "disciplinary" society on the one side and "traditional," "patrimonial," "feudal," and "repressive" society on the other. The communist future is denied in different ways. The optimistic Durkheim argues that "socialism," or something like it, is almost already with us whereas the pessimistic Weber argues that "communism" can only lead to deeper bureaucratization. Foucault goes even further to dismiss conceptions of any utopian future as dangerous while feminists naturally ask what happens to male domination in this classless utopia.

Week 6 Readings Readings on closed reserve (i.e., borrow and photocopy, then return) in Sociology Department mailroom. I will put two copies of each reading in the seminar box at least one week before the seminar meeting. This system only works if seminar members do not remove papers for any other reason than immediate reading or photocopying. Objective . The objective of this mini-seminar is to introduce the major themes and some of the major works in organizational studies, and thus to provide an overview for the curious and a platform from which the student who may wish to take comprehensives or teach a course in this area can pursue the topic independently. Focus Because this is a mini-seminar, the reading list is highly selective. (Lists of supplementary readings will be provided for those who wish to pursue certain themes further.) I have chosen to emphasize major contemporary issues and developments, at the cost of excluding much of the historical literature influential on the development of the field (e.g., Weber, Marx, Michels, Urwick, Fayol, Follett, Roethlisberger and Dixon, Barnard etc.). We begin with two weeks on older works and ideas that are as central to the field now as they were when they were written: Weber's essay on bureaucracy (from which all else in organization studies flows); in week 2, the work of "Carnegie School" theorists, Herbert Simon, James March, and colleagues, who emphasize the ways in which organization structures are shaped by the cognitive limitations of the people who occupy them.
