Home›Sociology›Symbolic InteractionismGroupSymbolic InteractionismThe microsociological tradition studying how meaning, identity and social order are produced through everyday, face to face interaction, gesture and interpretation, rather than imposed by large scale social structures. This group gathers the founders of symbolic interactionism and its close relatives, including ethnomethodology, the dramaturgical analysis of social life as performance, and the phenomenological and grounded theory methods used to study lived social experience from the participant's own point of view, drawn largely from the Chicago School of sociology and its intellectual descendants.FactsBrowse BySourcesComments (0)Reader Challenges (0)FactsComparisonPrimary DisciplineWell-attestedSociology 1Browse ByAll Symbolic InteractionismSymbolic Interactionism21 entriesSymbolic InteractionismFilter Results22 entriesDisciplineAllSymbolic Interactionism (21)EraAll1863 (1)1864 (1)1877 (1)1897 (1)1899 (1)1900 (1)1908 (1)1916 (1)1917 (1)1922 (1)1927 (1)1928 (1)1929 (2)1930 (1)1939 (1)1940 (1)1941 (2)1942 (1)1948 (1)Nationality / CultureAllAustria (2)Canada (1)France (2)Germany (1)Israel (1)South Africa (1)United Kingdom (1)United States (16)In GroupAllSymbolic Interactionism (21)Influenced ByAllAlfred Schutz (2)Charles Horton Cooley (1)Everett Hughes (1)George Herbert Mead (1)Institution AffiliationAllColumbia University (2)Goethe University Frankfurt (1)Harvard University (1)Northwestern University (1)Rutgers University (1)Stanford University (3)University of California, Berkeley (2)University of Chicago (6)University of Essex (1)University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign (1)University of Oxford (1)University of Pennsylvania (3)StudiesAllCapitalism (1)Education (1)Prison System (1)Religion (2)Social Class Stratification (2)The Family (1)Show ResultsBrowseCompareSelect all 22Alfred SchutzSociology3 linksAnselm StraussSociology4 linksArlie Russell HochschildSociology2 linksBarney GlaserSociology3 linksCharles Horton CooleySociology8 linksEdwin SutherlandSociology7 linksTwo Theatrical MasksErving GoffmanSociology7 linksEverett HughesSociology2 linksEviatar ZerubavelSociology3 linksGeorge Herbert MeadSociology8 linksHarold GarfinkelSociology3 linksHerbert BlumerSociology3 linksHoward S.
