CONFERENCE ANNOUNCEMENTS:
The Roots and Branches of Interpretive Sociology: Cultural, Pragmatist, and Psychosocial Approaches
August 10-11, 2018, Philadelphia, PA (preceding the 2018 ASA meeting)
Pennsylvania’s State System of Higher Education, Center-City Philadelphia campus
Mellon Independence Center; 701 Market St., Concourse Level
Organized & Sponsored by: Society for the Study of Symbolic Interaction ‖ Yale University’s Center for Cultural Sociology ‖ Psychosocial Scholars Group
Co-sponsored by West Chester University and the Sociology Department of Texas State University
with additional support from Hunter College and the Sociology Department of the CUNY Graduate Center
Within the field of sociology, scholars have advanced various approaches to the interpretation of social life. While these approaches share a drive to uncover the deep meanings underlying human actions, events, and experiences, they often diverge in their core assumptions, methods, theoretical vocabularies, and levels of analysis. They also draw on different theoretical traditions, from the reflexive social psychology inspired by George Herbert Mead and the semiotics of Charles Sanders Peirce, to the thick description of Clifford Geertz, the hermeneutics of Paul Ricœur, the structural linguistics of Ferdinand de Saussure, the social phenomenology of Alfred Schütz, the cultural anthropology of Mary Douglas, and the psychoanalytic thought of Sigmund Freud and Jacques Lacan, among other influences. Moreover, scholars working in these various traditions have developed different programs to grasp the rich layers of meaning behind human experiences. Some of these programs – including the strong program in cultural sociology/cultural theory, symbolic interaction/pragmatism, and psychoanalytic sociology/psychosocial theory – have made significant contributions in their own right.
We invite submissions pertaining to a variety of topics and themes, including but not limited to:
• The social foundations of meaning with regard to self-other relations, events, and experiences
• Interpretive methods
• Narrative identities and selfhood
• The body and embodiment
• Social performance and interaction work
• Logics of action and cultural practices
• Cultural and emotion codes
• Memory, narrative, and time/temporalities
• Semiotics and signification/Language
• Social cognition
• Classification processes and symbolic boundaries
• Ritual transgressions, liminality, and rites of passage
• Belief systems and social epistemology
• Politics and symbols
Proposals for paper presentations and panels are welcome. To submit a proposal for presentation, please email a title and abstract of no more than 250 words, along with your name (as it should appear in the program), institutional affiliation and contact information. To submit a proposal for a panel (fully constituted or open), please provide a brief description of the panel (the names and affiliations of participants is optional). Panels that create an opportunity for dialogue among scholars taking different perspectives will be given priority.
Please send all proposals to the Program Committee Co-Chairs, Thomas DeGloma (tdegloma@hunter.cuny.edu) and Julie Wiest (jbwiest@gmail.com) by March 1, 2018. Please also feel free to write with questions or comments.
