Interactionism's Place

The preservation of interactionism is now guaranteed to the extent that general sociology shows clear signs of becoming interactionist in its conceptual makeup. Accordingly interactionist promoters might want to enter into a more concerted dialogue with the unaware interactionists to make the disciplinary shift toward interactionism more overt and systematic. My treatment of these matters begins in a respectable but somewhat tiring manner, after which I express some long‐standing irritations and areas of confusion regarding interactionism and sociology as a way of suggesting a few areas of needed interactionist work.
