This insightful and accessible book is a response to the increasing
important role that technology plays in everyday life, and the
urgent need for empirical studies that analyse the impact of
technology on social practices. The chapters in this co-edited
collection reveal how technology is oriented to and embedded within
the social organization of action in a wide range of settings and
institutions, including education, markets, arts and culture,
health and social care, media, politics, and science. In their
analyses, the contributing authors adopt interactionist
perspectives to explore how the meanings of technology emerge and
are negotiated within and through action and interaction. The
volume comprises 14 empirical chapters from authors working in
fields such as symbolic interactionism, ethnomethodology,
conversation analysis, discourse methods, ethnographic enquiry,
video-based methods, and others. The chapters are framed by an
introduction and a concluding discussion by the co-editors which
draws out the key themes and issues that the individual chapters
speak to, and show the importance of these themes for the social
sciences and for society. The book is primarily aimed at
researchers in the social sciences, including sociology, social
psychology, organization studies, and beyond whose work is
concerned with the interplay between social interaction,
technology, and institutions.
The Routledge International Handbook of Interactionism demonstrates
the promise and diversity of the interactionist perspective in
social science today, providing students and practitioners with an
overview of the impressive developments in interactionist theory,
methods and research. Thematically organized, it explores the
history of interactionism and the contemporary state of the field,
considering the ways in which scholars approach topics that are
central to interactionism. As such, it presents discussions of
self, identity, gender and sexuality, race, emotions, social
organization, media and the internet, and social problems. With
attention to new developments in methods and methodologies,
including digital ethnography, visual methods and research ethics,
the authors also engage with new areas of investigation that have
emerged in light of current societal developments, such as policing
and police violence, interactionism beyond binaries and social
media. Providing a comprehensive overview of the current state and
possible future of interactionist research, it will appeal to
interactionist scholars, as well as to established sociologists and
students of sociology who have an interest in latest developments
in interactionism.
