This is a deviation from the common view that these traditions are seen as mutually exclusive alternatives and thus competitors of each other. The net result of the synthesis is that a new social theory emerges wherein action theories (Weber and rational choice) are based on phenomenological sociology and phenomenological sociology is based on neostructuralist semiotics, which is a synthesis of the Saussurean and the Peircean traditions of understanding habits of interpretation and interaction. The core issues of social research are then addressed on these grounds. The topics covered include the economy/society relationship, power, gender, modernity, institutionalization, the canon of current social theory including micro/macro and agency/structure relations, and the grounds of social criticism.  aEnglish  aSemioticsvCommunicationxSocial aspects    aSociologyvSocial interactionxMethodology  aRelational sociology  2ddccBK  00104070aNASSDOCbNASSDOCd2024-03-21eOverseas Press Pvt LTDg5913.75i2024-03-20l0o302.2 HEI-Sp54306r2024-05-20 00:00:00v9098.09w2024-03-20yBK
