Symbolic Interactionism and Cultural Studies

Beschreibung

Symbolic interactionism is one of the most enduring - and certainlythe most sociological - of all social psychologies. In thislandmark work, Norman K. Denzin traces its tortured history fromits roots in American pragmatism to its present-day encounter withpoststructuralism and postmodernism. Arguing that if interactionism is to continue to thrive and growit must incorporate elements of post structural and post-moderntheory into its underlying views of history, culture and politics,the author develops a research agenda which merges theinteractionist sociological imagination with the critical insightson contemporary feminism and cultural studies. Norman Denzin's programmatic analysis of symbolicinteractionism, which develops a politics of interpretation mergingtheory and practice, will be welcomed by students and scholars in awide range of disciplines, from sociology to cultural studies.
