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.

45. Max Weber's Texts generally (Tarcott Parsons). sociology of Rulership Rulership and Legitimacy;sociology of bureaucracy; sociology of Traditional Rulership; http://www.ne.jp/asahi/moriyuki/abukuma/weber_texts.html

Max Weber's Texts Sociology of World Religions Part I. Western Civilization Viewpoint (35 k) Weber focuses on the uniqueness of Western Civilization. The Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism His best-known work. It argues that modern rational capitalism originated in the ethos of ascetic Protestantism. He unveils the paradoxical outcome that the Protestant ethic of vocational and methodical conduct of life unintentionally gave birth the spirit of capitalism. The Protestant Sects and the Spirit of Capitalism (58 k) Weber describes the traveling impression of the United States, and sees its social foundation in the Protestant sects. Part II. World Religions Introduction (105 k) Comparative outline of economic ethics of five world religions. Sociology of Confucianism and Taoism It deals with sociological foundations and dynamic of Confucianism and Taoism though Chinese history. He contrasts Confucian rational ethos of world-accommodation with Puritan's rational ethos of world-reformation. The Rejection of the World and Theodicy (104 k) Genuine salvation religion rejects and confronts to the value of the world. Weber awakens unavoidable tention between religious value and worldly activities.

Sociology of Rulership and Religion 7. Occidental vs. Oriental Rulership The more favorable constellation for capitalist development that Occidental Catholicism offered (in comparison with these Oriental religions) was primarily due to the rationalization of hierocratic domination undertaken in continuation of ancient Roman traditions. This refers especially to the manner in which science and jurisprudence were developed. The Oriental religions preserved the unrationalized charismatic character of religiosity more than did the Occidental church; in part at least, this was a consequence of the purely historical fact that not they but the secular powers, whose paths they crossed, were the carriers of spiritual and social culture, and that they always remained subject to caesaro-papist control, Buddhism excepted. The Eastern church lacks an hierocratic apparatus with a monocratic head. Since the catastrophe of Patriarch Nikon and the abolition of the patriarchal position during the reign of Peter the Great, the imperial commissioner ( Oberprokuror ) has been the dominant figure of the Russian Holy Synod, a purely bureaucratic organization of state-appointed clerical dignitaries. The Byzantine patriarchs were never capable of claiming a monocratic position. The Sheik ul-Islam, theoretically the superior of the caliph, a layperson, was yet appointed by her/him; moreover, just like the Byzantine emperor, the caliph had religious authority of her/his own, even though it was unstable. Buddhism has a monocratic head only in Lamaism, but s/he is a Chinese vassal and, moreover, "insulated" as an incarnation in the sense discussed above

Essay - Weber, Bureaucracy, Capitalism, and Religion in Word '97 format Essay - Weber, Bureaucracy, Capitalism, and Religion in Word '97 format The sociological works of Max Weber have left a major impression on many fields of contemporary sociology. Weber produced works that include opinions on law, politics, social stratification, economic development, and theological foundations of social sciences. But in particular it is Weber’s studies of modern bureaucracy, the rise of capitalism, and the relationship between religion and capitalism that are still fundamentally discussed in sociology. To attempt to cover the volume and depth of Weber’s theories in one paper would fail to adequately touch the surface of his expansive, and diverse, ideas. Thus given the limited length of this project, this paper will present merely a brief, but critical, review of two of Weber’s major theoretical works: bureaucracy, and the relationship between religion and economics.

Personal Essay: Sociologists Behind Bars Two sociologists venture into prison to teach sociology and learn by Jodi L. Short and Elizabeth Drogin, University of California-Berkeley We spent this past semester teaching Introduction to Sociology to 15 men incarcerated at San Quentin State Prison in California. This was the ultimate challenge for two sociologists steeped in Foucaultian anxieties about our own discipline. We would be teaching the sociology of race, class, and deviance to individuals who traditionally are visible only as the objects of these fields. How would we explain to these men how sociologists have categorized them and to what ends? Our curriculum was fairly standard undergraduate introductory fare: socialization, deviance, power, hierarchy, race, gender, social movements, and social change. But in this unique environment, the students taught us as much about being sociologists as we taught them about sociology. Terminology for “Nothing New” At the end of the course, when we asked the students what they had learned, one of the most common responses was that they had not really learned anything “new.” Unlike many of the undergraduates we had taught before, these students came to the discipline with what might be called a sociological way of knowing: they already understood power; they already recognized hierarchy and their place in it; and they had seen time and again how their chances in life were largely shaped by others. They told us that we had simply supplied the terminology for what they already knew. Notably, they found this naming and categorizing of their experience empowering rather than oppressive. One student said that it was like clearing the fog from a clouded mirror.

Sociology Dictionary T Back T Back N Back French; bureau = writing desk and, later, drawer. It has come to mean any work requiring the keeping of files; later a form of social organization in which order, rationality and hierarchy are key elements. In more general terms, a way of organizing social life such that an elite can control the behaviour of a large mass of people by means of a staff (or cadre). Marked by formal and uniform application of rules, bureaucracies are supposed to be "rational" instruments (see Weber) by which goals determined by an elite may be achieved. Bureaucratic organization typifies modern industrial corporations, military organizations and a managed society. See McDonaldization Back Back Back ... Back A game in which the object is to move a ball into the space protected by a male solidarity. Football began as a contest between hostile villagers in which the head of a fallen enemy was kicked back and forth between the villages or opposing armies. The Romans brought the game to England some 2000 years ago. By the 16th Century, the English had adapted it as a forum in which competing classes and regions inflicted physical damage on one another in controlled situations. A proper match placed goal posts a mile or more apart. Shrove Tuesday was a day in which most villages and parishes had one great game before Lent; countrymen against city dwellers; merchants against gentlemen, guilds against guilds and workers against workers in nearby towns. King Charles forbade the game since it injured too many prospective soldiers.
