Institutional Interactionism, The Theory of the Institutional Self

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Institutional Interactionism is the debut text by social theorist Tucker D. Farris. The work invites sociologists and social theorists on an ambitious journey to rediscover the mysteries and wonders of symbolic interactionism. Blending symbolic interactionism with contemporary theories, metaphysics, and social philosophy, Institutional Interactionism takes the reader into an exploratory investigation on the nature of the institution, but also into the heart of the ideas of self, the social, and reality itself. In breaking with sociological tradition, a newly proposed conceptualization of the modern institution stands as a critically important contribution to the discourse in the era of "Citizen's United" and the personification of corporations in the new ages of neoliberal capitalism. Institutional Interactionism is penned as an invitation for the practicing sociologist, the teaching professor, or the theorist to reconsider, reframe, and reimagine the nature of organized institutions. This work is presented as a methodological guidepost for the future implementation of works that blend the reverence for the social actor with the pressing need for institutional accountability in contemporary social reality. Within its pages, one is asked to reacquaint themselves with the notion of self, to rediscover the richness of the intimate exchange of socially symbolic forms of interaction, and to discover the potential for large-scale macro sociology in the focus on the individual social actor and the meanings ascribed to their realities living in a social world.
