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 its tortured 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 post structural 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
on contemporary feminism and cultural studies.
Norman Denzin’s programmatic analysis of symbolic
interactionism, which develops a politics of interpretation merging
theory and practice, will be welcomed by students and scholars in a
wide range of disciplines, from sociology to cultural studies.
