Red Globe Press - Institutions, Interaction and Social Theory

Explore how human actions shape the structures around us in Institutions, Interaction and Social Theory. This text by Gibson and Vom Lehn examines how institutions, from hospitals and prisons to schools and corporations, are the result of individual actions and interactions. Whether an organization seems large or abstract, it is built through the meaning-making practices of people. This book provides a deep look into the core conceptual foundations of Symbolic Interactionism, Ethnomethodology, and Conversation Analysis. It offers an innovative way to understand the role of institutions in contemporary society by looking at how people communicate and create meaning. It is an essential resource for students and researchers interested in how social structures function through daily human interaction.
