- Summary
- "Symbolic interactionism is one of the most enduring--and certainly the most sociological--of all social psychologies. In this landmark work, Norman K. Denzin traces symbolic interactionism's history from its roots in American pragmatism to its present-day encounter with poststructuralism and postmodernism." "Arguing that if interactionism is to continue to thrive and grow it must incorporate elements of poststructural and post-modern theory into its underlying views of history, culture, and politics, the author develops a research agenda which merges the interactionist sociological imagination with the critical insights of contemporary feminism and cultural studies." "Norman Denzin's programmatic analysis of symbolic interactionism develops a politics of interpretation, merging theory and practice, which will be welcomed by students and scholars in a wide range of disciplines--from sociology to cultural studies."--Jacket.
