What it socialization? What is interaction? What do we mean by identity? How can we explain the notion of self? What do we mean by intra-action? The Sociology of the Individual is an innovative and though-provoking sociological exploration of how the ideas of the individual and society relate. Expertly combining conceptual depth with clarity of style, Athanasia Chalari: • explains the key sociological and psychological theories related to the investigation of the social and the personal • analyses the ways that both sociology and psychology can contribute to a more complete understanding and theorising of everyday life • uses a mix of international cases and everyday examples to encourage critical reflection.

Perfect for modules exploring the sociology of the self, self and society, and self and identity.
