"Richard Bernstein expressed the view that pragmatism was ahead of its time; the same has been true of symbolic interactionism. These two closely related perspectives, one philosophical and the other sociological, place human action at the center of their explanatory schemes. It has not mattered what aspect of social or psychological behavior was under scrutiny. Whether selves, minds, or emotions, or institutions, social structures, or s ..."

"Conclusions Turning points chart the temporal course of chronic illness. The
nature and social definitions of those turning points vary in ways that complicate
identity claims and identity work among chronically ill people. Muted or
ambiguous turning points accompanied by uncertainty result in a range of social
identifications of the ill person. Competing definitions often arise, then, about who
the person now is and will become. E ..."

In this book, nine sociologists and one philosopher provide detailed tests of the utility of the approach within diverse substantive sociological areas. These areas include, deviance and anomie, stra ..."

"The history of human society, as Carl Couch recounts it in his speculative final book, is a history of successive, sometimes overlapping information technologies used to process the varied symbolic representations that inform particular social contexts. Couch departs from earlier "media" theorists who ignored these contexts in order to concentrate on the technologies themselves. Here, instead, he adopts a consistent theory of interperso ..."
