Studies in symbolic interaction, v.24

Volume 24 of 'Studies in Symbolic Interaction' examines the performance in turn in ethnographic studies, with a special focus on the issues surrounding the performances of race, cultural and environmental identities. A special partial section honours the contributions of David R. Maines to the field of communication studies. The concluding section considers new theoretical developments in interaction theory, including a re-examination of the spectorial gaze in film and literary approaches to the imagined past.
