The Impact of Movements: Bureaucratic Insurgency, Canadianization and the CSAA*
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Une plus grande attention est actuellement portée aux conséquences des mouvements sociaux. Basé sur du matériel d'archives et d'entrevues, cet article réexamine la notion d'insurrection bureaucratique de Zald et Berger afin d'analyser la dynamique de changement et de transformation de la Société canadienne de sociologie et d'anthropologie (SCSA) au début des années 1970. Contrairement à la thése de Weber‐Michels, qui prédit qu'en gagnant en maturité une organisation tend à devenir moins politisée et plus conservatrice, la SCSA s'est politisée par suite du mouvement de « canadianisation » des institutions culturelles et éducationnelles. Une explication pour ce changement est proposée, laquelle questionne la thèse de transformation organisationnelle de Weber‐Michels et les conséquences qui en découlent. Greater attention is now being given to the consequences of social movements. Relying on archival and interview material, this paper revisits Zald and Berger's notion of bureaucratic insurgency to analyse the dynamics of change and transformation in the Canadian Sociology and Anthropology Association (CSAA) during the early 1970s. Contrary to the Weber‐Michels thesis, which predicts that as organizations age they become less political and more conservative, the CSAA became politicized as a result of the movement to Canadianize cultural and educational institutions. An explanation for this change is offered, which serves to challenge the Weber‐Michels thesis of organizational transformation and its outcome.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
