PDF-(BOOS)-Interaction Ritual Chains (Princeton Studies in Cultural Sociology)

Sex smoking and social stratification are three very different social phenomena And yet argues sociologist Randall Collins they and much else in our social lives are driven by a common force interaction rituals Interaction Ritual Chains is a major work of sociological theory that attempts to develop a radical microsociology It proposes that successful rituals create symbols of group membership and pump up individuals with emotional energy while failed rituals drain emotional energy Each person flows from situation to situation drawn to those interactions where their cultural capital gives them the best emotional energy payoff Thinking too can be explained by the internalization of conversations within the flow of situations individual selves are thoroughly and continually social constructed from the outside inThe first half of Interaction Ritual Chains is based on the classic analyses of Durkheim Mead and Goffman and draws on microsociological research on conversation bodily rhythms emotions and intellectual creativity The second half discusses how such activities as sex smoking and social stratification are shaped by interaction ritual chains For example the book addresses the emotional and symbolic nature of sexual exchanges of all sortsfrom handholding to masturbation to sexual relationships with prostituteswhile describing the interaction rituals they involve This book will appeal not only to psychologists sociologists and anthropologists but to those in fields as diverse as human sexuality religious studies and literary theory.
