This book offers an unprecedented, integrative account of the shape
of social order on the microsocial level. Dealing with the basic
dimensions of interaction, the authors examine the major factors
which influence "structure" in social interaction by applying
various theoretical concepts. Although the concept of
"microsociology" is usually associated with symbolic
interactionism, social psychology, the works of George Herbert Mead
and Erving Goffman and with qualitative methodologies, this book
reaches beyond interactionist theories, claiming that no single
school of thought covers the different dimensions necessary for
understanding the basics of microsociology. As such, the book
provides something of a microsociologist's "tool kit," analyzing an
array of theoretical approaches which offer the best conceptual
solutions, and interpreting them in a way that is independent of
their specific theoretical language. Such theoretical traditions
include systems theory, conversation analysis, structuralism, the
theory of knowledge and the philosophy of language. Providing a
distinct, systematic and incremental approach to the subject, this
book fills an important gap in sociological literature. Written in
an accessible style, and offering new insights into the area of
microsociology, it will appeal to students and scholars of the
social sciences and to those with interests in sociology,
microsociology, interactionism and sociological theory.
