Informed by a modified version of Goffman's original concept of the total organization, A Sociology of the Total Organization untangles the French Foreign Legion and the ways in which different kinds of social orders interplay there. This book shows how atomistic unity is not limited to greedy organizations such as the military, but applies to a variety of collectivist settings.
"Examining the organization of everyday life inside the regiments of the French Foreign Legion, this book takes its theoretical point of departure in the notion of the voluntary total organization; that is to say, an institution that constitutes a geographically delimited place of residence and work in which inmates are voluntarily separated from the outside world, leading an enclosed, formally administered life. Informed by a modified version of Goffman''s original concept of the total organization, A Sociology of the Total Organization : Atomistic Unity in the French Foreign Legion sociologically untangles the Foreign Legion and the ways in which different kinds of social orders interplay there"--Provided by publisher.
