Özet

Our contribution to the dialogue on leadership and social (in)justice lays out how it has come to pass that bureaucratization, managerialism, and capitalism, and our organizational, institutional, and associative forms—or how we organize and govern ourselves or permit ourselves to be governed—have moved past neoliberalism to include what we term corporativism. Corporativism might be thought of as a stronger form of corporatism: whereas corporativism gets at how corporations operate and how they have come to dominate market economies and other financial arrangements, corporativism is ontological, the theory of a corporativist ontology—of corporate values and principles working their way into the human psyche at the ontological, lived level, in commonsensical, and taken-for-granted ways. We demonstrate how corporativist thinking, behavior, and ways of life operate in both Turkey and the US society, generally, and in our schools, specifically. We exhume corporativist dealings in society and in our schools in an initial examination of how these processes, these structures, and these beliefs work to oppress us teachers and the children we are supposed to serve.
