Published : Friday 30 January 2015
Description
This book offers a new look at Meads concept of society, in an attempt to reconstruct its significance for sociological theory. Chapter 1 offers a critical genealogical reading of writings, from early articles to the latest books, where Mead articulates his views on social reform, social psychology, and the gradual theorization of self and society. Chapter 2 pays attention to the phylogenetic and ontogenetic processes at work in both the self and society, by comparing Meads social psychology with Freudian and Lacanian psychoanalysis. Chapter 3 brings together all the elements that are part of the structures of self and society within a topological and dialectical schematization of their respective and mutual relations. Chapter 4 is devoted to the passage of Meads views from social psychology to sociology, with a critical look at Herbert Blumers developments in symbolic interactionism as the presumed main legitimate heir of Meads social psychology. Chapter 5 examines how Meads general philosophical views fit within the new epistemological context of contemporary society based on communication and debates on postmodernity.
