Abstract

The main purpose of this study is to reveal different aspects of the bureaucracy by addressing the emergence of the concept of bureaucracy, its development, its position and transformation in different social structures analyzing the movie "Ikiru (to live)" directed by Akira Kurosawa and "Das Schloss (the Castle)" by Franz Kafka. In line with this purpose, firstly, the definition and origin of the concept of “bureaucracy” is introduced and theories of bureaucracy are mentioned. In this study, the phenomenon of “bureaucracy”, which has undergone development and transformation within the context of historicity, has been examined over the concrete image in the fields like the functioning of the bureaucratic form of administration, decision-making process, division of labor, authority, hierarchy, delegation of authority, etc. The analysis is also important in terms of understanding the reasons for the structure, which was formed during the periods when the seeds of the development in question were thrown and the transformation took place, through the movie "Ikiru" and the novel "Castle".
