Social scientists have always recognised a divergence between
approaches which emphasise the constraining power of social
structure and those which interpret society through the cumulative
effects of actions of individuals. In recent years there has been
renewed interest in the latter through the micro-sociology of
everyday life. Social scientists are now taking stock of the
implications of micro-sociological research for the analysis of
structure and the macro-level theory of society. In Actions and
Structure the value of micro-sociological research for the analysis
of social order is assessed. Individual chapters evaluate new
research approaches from discourse and conversational analysis,
mathematical, interactionist and phenomenological sociologies and
network analysis. Throughout the authors assess how these
approaches contribute to current debates around theoretical
formulations of organization, structure and power.
