Interaction Ritual Chains Randall Collins

Sex, smoking, social stratification are three different social phenomena. But sociologist Randall Collins believes that they and many other things in our social life are driven by a common force, an interactive ceremony. Mutual ceremonial linkage is an important work of sociological theory and attempts to develop a kind of "radical micro sociology." It suggests successful rituals while creating symbols of group members and injecting energy into individuals of emotional energy while failing rituals consuming emotional energy. Everyone flows from different situations to the situation, with cultural capital attracting interactions that give them the best emotional energy rewards. Thinking can also be explained by the internalization of the dialogue in the context of flow; the individual self is an externally built, thorough and continuous society.

The first half of the interactive ceremonial chain is based on the classic analysis of Durchem, Mead, Gofman and is based on microcosmic studies of dialogue, body rhythm, emotion, and intellectual creation. In the second half, we will explain how sex, smoking and social stratification are formed through an interactive ceremonial chain. For example, this book tells about the emotional and symbolic nature of various intercourse from hand-held to masturbation, sexual relations with prostitutes and explains the interactive rituals they contain. This book applies not only to psychologists, sociologists, and anthropologists, but also to people in the fields of human sexuality, religious studies, literary theory.

Randall Collins is a professor of sociology at the University of Pennsylvania. He is the author of 11 books including "philosophy and sociology: the theory of global intelligence transformation", "tradition of four sociologists" and "certificate association".

I have been encouraging to read the work of Randall Collins before (he does not update my blog much, but his sociology's eyes are usually very good). Despite the difficult subject, it seems promising to tackle a specific technical topic of religious sociology, but this book is a very good book that is widespread to read, especially in sociology. It is out of range. (The title part is a reference to Erving Goffman's interactive ceremony, but the "interactive ceremony" is a wonderful title that easily reminds Goffmann's main concern for everyday ceremonies.This idea is clear in the work There is an explanation)
