Abstract
The study explores the varied facets around teacher authority to understand everyday life at school. Taking the Weberian framework of ideal types, the individual authority of the teacher is explored in this paper, by understanding the teacher’s ‘self’ and how it’s manifested and negotiated within the student- teacher relationship. Drawing on ethnographic work for nine months, interviewing 36 students and 21 teachers of class IX and X, apart from observations of classroom, and different sites at a secondary school in New Delhi. This paper focuses on understanding the Weber’s ideal types to understand the nature and dynamics of charismatic authority to ascertain the teacher’s ‘self’.
