A Vez em que a Burocracia Estava Escondida no Banheiro

ABSTRACT: Based on a real situation, the present teaching case seeks to relate theory with practice by confronting situations that involve our daily life in the most varied organizational forms to which we belong. Proposing a participatory teaching-learning method, it aims to bring students closer to the reality of the area of ​​study in Administration from a critical and reflective perception of / about reality. Therefore, the concept of bureaucracy is taken as a motto, which, from a Weberian perspective, can be interpreted as a form of control and domination. Taking this as a guideline, our suggestion is to “act” on the bureaucracy, precisely, through its opposite. This means pondering that, in the face of normativity, formalism and the fixation of bureaucracy, creativity appears here as a possible path of deviation towards collective and organizational constructions more focused on a perspective of subjects' autonomy and emancipation.
