SHOP-FLOOR/COUNTER-SCHOOL CULTURE PARALLELS 1. Masculine chauvinism 2. Attempt to gain informal control of the work process 3. Distinct form of language and intimidatory humour 4. Value of practice over theory Differentiation: “the process whereby the typical exchanges expected in the formal institutional paradigm are reinterpreted, separated and discriminated with respect to working class interests, feelings and meanings” (62). Integration: “the process whereby class oppositions and intentions are redefined, truncated and deposited within sets of apparently legitimate institutional relationships and exchanges” (63).
