Rezensionen

Athanasia Chalari s book focuses on the relationship between intra and interaction and the way it relates to symbolic interactionism and to other paradigms - sociotheoretical, sociopsychological and psychoanalytics. It provides new insights which can be useful to all those interested in the conceptualization and empirical investigation of the agency-structure problematic and of other key issues in theoretical and applied sociology. It will be useful not only to scholars interested on the book s focus on the concept intra-action. By providing in a systematic manner concrete examples, it can also help undergraduate and graduate students to understand better some of the ways that the individual can be studied on different levels of analysis.
