The GENERAL CONTEXT of such use is:
work-role dictated by class membership: The functions performed by the division of the work of domination (of the working classes) between the petty and the upper bourgeoisie, particularly the role of scapegoat and foil assumed by subaltern agents appointed to exert vicarious physical or symbolic coercion, may be indicated by enumerating some of the most significant realizations of this functional opposition: the colonel, 'father of his regiment', and the sergeant-major, the 'scourge of the barrack-room'; the judge and the 'cop'; the 'boss' and the foreman; the senior official and the clerk facing the public; the doctor and the nurse; or the psychiatrist and the warder;, in school, the headmaster and the 'charge'; or the teacher and the 'pion' (in England, the role of the prefect and the procter). One sees the double game authorized in the school system by the duality of functions and staff; open or tacit disparagement of the bureaucracy of educational administrators and disciplinary officials constitutes one of the surest and most economical 'springs' of institutional charisma.
