Organized Bodies: Gender, Sexuality and Embodiment in Contemporary Organizations

Abstract

A defining feature of the Weberian ideal-type is that bureaucracies are governed by a formal set of rules and procedures which ensure that operations and activities are carried out in a predictable, uniform and impersonal manner. Within this rational-legal model ‘personal’ (i.e. non-bureaucratic) relationships are excluded from organizational life, and only bureaucratically legitimated forms of power can operate. The model has been widely debated since its first appearance (see Albrow, 1970; Jackson, 1982, for reviews) but in recent years two particularly stringent critiques have emerged. These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
