George Herbert Mead is a foundational figure in sociology, best
known for his book "Mind, Self, and Society," which was put
together after his death from course notes taken by stenographers
and students and from unpublished manuscripts. Mead, however, never
taught a course primarily housed in a sociology department, and he
wrote about a wide variety of topics far outside of the concerns
for which he is predominantly remembered--including experimental
and comparative psychology, the history of science, and relativity
theory. In short, he is known in a discipline in which he did not
teach for a book he did not write.
In" Becoming Mead," Daniel R. Huebner traces the ways in which
knowledge has been produced by and about the famed American
philosopher. Instead of treating Mead's problematic reputation as a
separate topic of study from his intellectual biography, Huebner
considers both biography and reputation as social processes of
knowledge production. He uses Mead as a case study and provides
fresh new answers to critical questions in the social sciences,
such as how authors come to be considered canonical in particular
disciplines, how academics understand and use others' works in
their research, and how claims to authority and knowledge are made
in scholarship. "Becoming Mead" provides a novel take on the
history of sociology, placing it in critical dialogue with cultural
sociology and the sociology of knowledge and intellectuals.
