Abstract

'This is a smart and compelling book. Difficult ideas are presented in an accessible manner, with plenty of supporting illustrations Students will enjoy the research material and other supporting material. A definite winner!'-. Professor Jay Gubrium, University of Missouri. This book gets to the heart of what the social sciences really know about the elusive and contradictory object of research: human reality. Drawing on a wide range of international examples and scenarios, Social Theory and Human Reality examines key sociological concepts that we use to understand human behaviour such as: norms, rules and meanings; language and discourse; ritual; and personality and identity construction.
