Along the way students are offered dozens of empirical hooks to hang the ideas from, leaving little excuse for losing their interactionist hats. Not so much a foundation, then, as a hallway connecting into a number of further intriguing rooms.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eEric Laurier, Edinburgh University\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSocial interaction lies at the heart of our everyday experience. We make our way down the street and avoid crashing into others, take our place in the supermarket queue, take care in the way we talk about others in conversation, acknowledge the social status of people we meet, and enjoy leisurely pursuits in the company of friends and like-minded others. All these things are fundamental parts of human sociality that can be discovered and understood through ‘sociologies of interaction’.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e This book provides an invaluable introduction to the theoretical foundations and practical applications of interactionist approaches to everyday life. Beginning with an overview of three core traditions - symbolic interactionism, ethnomethodology and conversation analysis, along with Goffman’s work on the interaction order - the text moves on to examine in detail topics such as leisure, work, health and illness, deviance, class, status and power, education, ethnic relations and gender. Highlighting a range of empirical studies, the book shows how sociologies of interaction have the capacity to reframe and make us rethink conventional social science topics.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e This illuminating book will be of interest to undergraduates across the social sciences, particularly in sociology, social psychology and communication studies, as well as those who have an interest in understanding the interactional underpinnings of everyday life.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntroduction page 1\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1 Pragmatism and Symbolic Interactionism 8\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e2 Phenomenology and Ethnomethodology 35\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e3 Conversation Analysis and the Interaction Order 63\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e4 Status and Power 98\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e5 The Body, Health and Illness 121\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e6 Work 142\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e7 Deviance 162\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e8 Leisure 188\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eConclusion 208\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eNotes 219\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eReferences 221\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIndex 237\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Psychology [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Psychology\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Psychology%20%5BJM%5D%22\"\u003eJM\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Polity","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52407312843032,"sku":"9780745646060","price":45.76,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/files\/9780745646060.jpg?v=1784160845","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/sociologies-of-interaction-hardback-9780745646060","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
