Abstrakt

Giddens (1990, 1991, 1994) envisages the replacement of professions through the creation of expert systems in late (high) modernity, which recreate expert knowledge into replicable systems capable of easy transfer between individuals through formulaic rules of procedure. This paper examines this perspective of occupational knowledge in the English building industry, an area long held to exhibit very weak occupational control (jurisdiction) by professions. Rather than Gidden’s weak authority over expertise, the paper describes how professional identity is being used to create an occupational authority that is stronger and better articulated than the traditional literature portrays.
