"This book is a survey of Symbolic Interaction. In thirteen short chapters, it traces the history, the social philosophical roots, the founders, “movers and shakers” and evolution of the theory. Symbolic Interactionism: The Basics takes the reader along the exciting, but tortuous journey of the theory and explores both the meta-theoretical and mini-theoretical roots and branches of the theory. Symbolic interactionism or sociological social psychology traces its roots to the works of United States sociologists George Hebert Mead, Charles Horton Cooley, and Herbert Blumer, and a Canadian sociologist, Erving Goffman; Other influences are Harold Garfinkel’s Ethnomethodology and Austrian-American Alfred Schutz’s study of Phenomenology." --

La problématique de la situation qui a longtemps prévalu en sciences sociales s'articulait autour de l'idée de « définition de la situation » : pour agir efficacement, un sujet rationnel doit sélectionner et analyser les conditions de son action, interpréter son environnement et ses circonstances, et ordonner ses impulsions et ses attitudes. Les recherches en cours dans différents domaines et disciplines (logique, sémantique, psychologie écologique, intelligence artificielle...) montrent qu'une telle problématique ne permet pas de rendre compte de la logique effective des situations ni de la forme de contrôle qu'elles exercent sur l'expérience, et que, pour saisir l'une et l'autre, il convient de renouveler l'analyse de l'écologie des activités sociales et de mieux comprendre la part prise par l'environnement d'un côté, par la perception de l'autre, à leur organisation. De telles exigences guidaient déjà la réflexion des pragmatistes américains, J. Dewey et G. H. Mead en particulier. Elles constituaient aussi l'horizon des travaux d'E. Goffman. Les œuvres de ces auteurs contiennent donc des outils permettant de clarifier et d'approfondir les principales intuitions guidant les tentatives actuelles pour « situer » l'activité et la cognition, ainsi que de les acclimater dans les sciences sociales. Outre qu'il présente et discute ces outils, cet ouvrage s'efforce de les éprouver empiriquement, sur des objets sociaux aussi ordinaires que l'improvisation dans le chant, le déplacement des piétons dans la ville, la réception de la télévision ou l'accueil et l'orientation des voyageurs dans une gare SNCF.

Avec le xxie siècle, semble émerger un genre nouveau, celui de l’Homme trace. Jamais dans l’histoire de l’humanité, les outils technologiques n’ont été aussi nombreux et aussi efficaces non seulement pour communiquer, mais aussi enregistrer les moindres faits et gestes du quotidien. Il s’ensuit une forme de traçabilité humaine qui suscite les inquiétudes les plus déraisonnables et des questionnements éthiques, légitimes et inédits, qui touchent aux notions mêmes d’intimité et de liberté. Observant et analysant certaines des traces les plus exemplaires de l’homme contemporain, les spécialistes réunis ici placent ces interrogations primordiales en perspective. Dépassant l’illusoire évidence de la « trace », ces chercheurs, issus de champs disciplinaires variés (sciences de la communication, sociologie, informatique, psychologie, linguistique, mais aussi géographie et anthropologie), traitent le sujet sous des angles divers, déconstruisent la notion de trace et en dégagent un nouveau paradigme. Émerge ainsi l’absolue nécessité de mettre en rapport le contexte de production de la trace, celui de sa réception et de son interprétation. Une exploration contemporaine de la nature fondamentale de l’Homme.

“Victoria Orange has written a must-read book for anyone who is interested in developing a renewed understanding of interaction. Through an interesting and non-traditional angle, the book uses a pluridiscipinary approach and a new concept - i.e. Expression, Encounter, Education and Emotion (the 4Es) - to think about the supercomplexity of interaction. I find the book highly useful for understanding and researching the interactive aspect of experience, communication and society”. --Zhuomin Huang, Senior Tutor in Education, Manchester Institute of Education (MIE), The University of Manchester, UK “I believe that Victoria Orange’s book Supercomplexity in Interaction is a vital tool for becoming acquainted with the system of interaction. As a professional working in the field of international business communication I constantly come into contact with many different kinds of people and realise that interaction is extremely complicated in many ways, more ways than we may realise as we live our professional and personal lives. I am positive that this book will be extremely useful for many practitioners and students who are interested in this field.” --Denisa Galeštoková, International Recruitment Consultant, Hays This book aims to explore the supercomplexity of interaction and to suggest ways of teaching about this supercomplexity in various settings, including intercultural communication and language-learning. Using complex systems theory, the author argues that interaction is actually a supercomplex adaptive system which interconnects a number of different complex systems (the 4Es: Expression, Encounter, Education, Emotion) to give it meaning. She then draws on the concept of heartfulness to promote different ways of understanding and teaching the supercomplexity of interaction. This book will be of interest to language educators and students, as well as scholars of intercultural communication. Victoria Orange is Lecturer in International Business Communication in the School of Language and Global Studies at the University of Central Lancashire, UK. She also teaches Intercultural Communication at the University of Montpellier, France. Victoria has devoted her career to increasing the comfort, confidence and competence of people working in multicultural environments, specializing in intercultural communication for the last twenty years.
