Recenzje

‘A reimagination of Cooley was overdue, and the editors have not only collected a diverse variety of contributors for that reimagination, they also presented the reader with texts that form a cohesive whole. This book thus offers a necessary and timely reframing of Cooley. It inspires thought on digital culture, the inequality of imagined communities, the role of emotion and writing. It is genuinely surprising and insightful, and it has the potential to spark entire scholarly ventures on these issues. The volume thus not only retraces Cooley and does not stop at expanding our understanding of his work; it is a genuine conversation starter on a host of issues that are central to symbolic interactionist and wider sociological debate.’ - Michael Dellwing, Symbolic Interaction
