symbolic interactionism and inequality

One important type of restricted exchange involves an important time dimension (see 2 in Table 5.1). And the Kennedy example, which of course is well known, shows how promotion can even lead to the Presidency of the United States. Rose Kennedy kept the family strongly united with frequent family gatherings (Patterson and Fagen 2020). However, in this book, I find that they can be profitably put together or synthesized. In another way, a gift may be given to the taker, but the giver extracts a promise of a favor in the future. Schwalbe et al. Power in Symbolic Interactionism via Social Exchange Theory. Michael Schwalbe and five others present a theory of critical interactionism on how inequalities are created in society, and these can also be related to social mobility. Similarly, Josh Pacewicz (2016) shows how the old rich partisans made philanthropic gifts to keep town members in their debt, but these donations are small fractions of their total wealth. The firm of Wilson and Wilson become quite successful, and eventually the younger brothers and two children who become lawyers then expand the business to six other states. [2] Second, there are individual to group exchanges whereby a group might give a loan to an individual, and then the group expects payment by a particular date. One might say that this looks a bit like Robert Mertons theory of deviance (1938); however, the big difference is that Merton focused on blockages that exist but said little about the motivation and process by which they are accepted or overcome, and nothing about the emotions that they generate. For example, an individual receiving unemployment insurance promises to be ready and able to work, and to search for work and fail in order to receive the benefit. Among her kin, she aims to keep the family together for over 50 years with parties with over 60 people. Symbolic interactionism symbolic interactionism symbolic interactionism is sociological perspective that emphasizes the role of symbols, language, and Symbolic interactionism aims to understand human behavior by analyzing the critical role of symbols in human interaction. However, a weak norm of generalized reciprocity (i.e., restricted exchange) will create weaker social bonds. Group to group generalized exchange can occur also through mutually exclusive groups (item 10) or overlapping groups (item 11). Symbolic interactionism provides a major contribution to understanding inequality by illuminating the various manifestations and contexts of inequality at the micro, everyday level of social life. Expand 54 Emotion and Social Life: A Symbolic Interactionist Analysis S. Shott Sociology American Journal of Sociology 1979 Through your interactions with the letters 'dog', you see this as a furry, four-legged canine. There are two types of exchange that can be applied to symbolic interactionism. Much of this type of exchange is linked to rational action as per Max Webers concepts of rationality. 2014: 185-86) speaks of a negotiated order and mentions bargaining. There are two types of exchange that can be applied to symbolic interactionism. They have deference and may have shame, but they seek to avoid these emotions by building negative subcultures where they are accepted with their deficiencies. [1] This theory is elaborated by Samuel Bacharach and Edward Lawler (1980, 1981; Cook and Rice ) as power being the inverse of the number of valued alternatives that one may have in the sense of not being dependent on the relationship with the other. We will refer to those who operate with more restricted exchange as opportunists in the next chapter on citizen selves. Eventually, they become upper-middle class by maintaining both their kinship and business ties by emphasizing positive family and business generalized others. 2014: 46-47; Reynolds 1987). Symbolic interactionism is a perspective employed, explicitly and implicitly, by communication scholars and others within the social sciences and humanities. Third, there are individual to societal exchanges whereby an individual agrees to various terms with a larger societal group. 2014: 185-86) speaks of a negotiated order and mentions bargaining. However, a weak norm of generalized reciprocity (i.e., restricted exchange) will create weaker social bonds. Political sociology can use these exchange processes to show how various political interactions can be negotiated. For example, consider the following: In Chapel Hill in the early 2000s, an African-American nurse promises to buy her daughter a dress for the prom, but her choice at a reasonable price at the department store is deemed mundane by her daughter. Unlike the functionalist and conflict views, it does not try to explain why we have stratification in the first place. This involves two aspects of networking. But until that day, accept this justice as a gift on my daughters wedding day.. Also, Richard Titmus in the The Gift Relationship (1997) describes the difference between exchanging blood based on it being a gift or being paid for the donation. In row 4 (items 10, 11 and 12), people with low rank view their social position due to their lack of ability, and they engage in accepting the other imposed upon them by higher ranking people. This is when direct reciprocity is not expected except in a rather indirect way. Oppressive othering has been largely ignored as a general social process though labeling theory comes close to it. 202 Patterson Office Tower This view of othering interacts with social mobility. These reactions will also relate to the processes of positive, negative, and neutral generalized others discussed in the previous section. It is also discussed in a rather ethnomethodological form in Josh Pacewiczs Partisans and Partners (2016), though the gift relationship large resembles these other generalized exchange forms. . In the end, I conclude that both Athens and Mead are right but both are also incomplete. Each one of these families utilized various aspects of generalized exchange in what they perceived as their social mobility prospects. They actively construct a generalized other that recognizes their abilities and rejects oppressive othering, and they often will create positive sub-cultures among other low status but talented people that reflect their own more positive views (through ressentiment which was discussed earlier). More recently, Monica Whitman (2021) has shown that a strong norm of reciprocity will have powerful effects leading to social trust and generalized exchange for the betterment of the group. These may be negotiated by a leader but the followers know the terms of the agreement and are quick to point out any violations. The purposes of these oppressions are boundary maintenance processes to indicate that the oppressors belong to a superior group and the subordinates belong to a less worthy group. However, theories of political sociology cannot assume unrelenting social mobility for everyone since most social mobility is relational. Schwalbe et al.s (2000) view of blockages goes beyond Merton to state that higher elites impose oppressive othering on low status people through emotion, discrimination, and self-processes of internalization or counter-othering. In the bottom half of the table that describes low status, there are also three reactions. 2005 Jun;56 (2):191-213. doi: 10.1111/j.1468-4446.2005.00055.x. This generalized exchange does not demand immediate payback and helping one may lead to them helping another so that the initiator of the exchange does not expect immediate payback. (2000) provide a more nuanced view of oppressive othering by viewing different attributions with external and internal reactions from generalized others. And lastly, Joseph P. Kennedy was the son of a successful Irish businessman. Sometimes these exchanges are made more long-term, but they are carefully guarded by contracts assuring each partys interests are protected. The central concepts of the approach. All of the families used internal generalized exchange which can be referred to as bonding capital (Putnam 2000, 2020). Generalized exchange looks to the betterment of the group as a whole, while restricted exchange is about the individual gaining for themselves. Given these points, there are clear differences between the structural functionalist, social conflict and symbolic interaction theories. Differentiating these relationships gives meaning to positive and negative types of generalized others in the social mobility process. But until that day, accept this justice as a gift on my daughters wedding day.. Thus, social stratification is a result of these individual interactions. In other words, if you constantly depend on another person for food, income, entertainment and shelter (e.g., a child to a parent, or a worker to the managers of a company town), while you supply none of these and other values to the other, then your other has a high amount of power over you since they could deny you these values. The interactionist perspective on inequality looks at how certain social roles have more power or authority than others. It is a form of group exchange where one person gives to another, who then in turn gives to a third person. First, in chain exchange (item 7) one person gives to another who then gives to a third party, and this continues to include more and more people as in pay it forward. Second, there are individual to closed group and open group exchanges (items 8 and 9). They see four factors as being important in the creation of inequality: oppressive othering, boundary maintenance, emotion management, and subordinate adaptations (Schwalbe et al. The middle category of high and low status persons could move up or down depending on the circumstances. It is also discussed in a rather ethnomethodological form in Josh Pacewiczs Partisans and Partners (2016), though the gift relationship large resembles these other generalized exchange forms. When people engage in sociation often with generalized exchange they are interacting according to the process of sociation. But when people engage in strategic interaction they are following interaction through power, which may be conscious by tough negotiators or may have been socialized into them through violentization. And further, there are processes in between. There are some strong inclinations toward bargaining theory in symbolic interactionist theory. Eventually, they become upper-middle class by maintaining both their kinship and business ties by emphasizing positive family and business generalized others. Third, there are individual to societal exchanges whereby an individual agrees to various terms with a larger societal group. For example, an individual receiving unemployment insurance promises to be ready and able to work, and to search for work and fail in order to receive the benefit. They see four factors as being important in the creation of inequality: oppressive othering, boundary maintenance, emotion management, and subordinate adaptations (Schwalbe et al. Here are four examples with disguised names except for the last one. Thus, social mobility is not just achieving skills by merit, but it is also about self-work or personhood about countering and converting elite processes of oppressive othering with generalized others. [3] In the professions literature, a particular profession often engages in a professional project to raise the status of the group as a whole. But again, the social mobility boundary is fought most between row 3 of the vulnerable high-status people, and row 6 of the discriminated against but talented low-status persons. The second one is how ethnicity and race are socially constructed. But Athens does point to a critical weakness of symbolic interactionism as he comes up with a contrary view of the good socialization process described by George Herbert Mead, which is the process of violentization thesis. They will develop positive generalized others with the subcultures that they may produce. Social exchange theory and symbolic interactionism are often thought of polar opposites, and in some ways they are. There is a bond but it is contingent on tit-for-tat exchange. For an auto example, Ford Motor Company has had many Ford family members running the company; however, General Motors has had only one Sloan in the form of Alfred P. Sloan who had no children and his foundation operates on the East Coast. Further examples can be seen in the development of trade unions. [2] Later on, Don Corleone does call in the favor to take care of a dead body using the mans funeral parlor. They then become one of the largest legal firms in a 10 state area. Their motto, Wilson and Wilson, For the People dominates the airwaves on TV and the internet decrying the greed of insurance companies. Among her husbands business associates, it consists of being the life of the party and maintaining long-term friendships with business associates. Consequently, it is also important to focus on the higher status persons who are subject to downward mobility because they will also be highly defensive, resistant and even violent. Symbolic interaction has a particular weakness concerning a concept critical to political sociology and that is the concept of power. And the subordinates react to oppressive othering in a number of different ways. The grandmother mentions the specific dress that the young girl wants at the most expensive boutique in town, and the scion she works for says, I know the owner of the store; I can talk to her. The grandmother then tells her granddaughter that the dress has been marked down by 70% of the original price so that it is the same price as the department store dress. Inequality and Social Mobility in Symbolic Interactionism. Among her husbands business associates, it consists of being the life of the party and maintaining long-term friendships with business associates. Here are four examples with disguised names except for the last one. However, in tracking the patterns of social interaction to their troubling consequences, we heed the advice of an early interactionist, Blumer (1969), who urged symbolic interactionist researchers . Third, there are individual to societal exchanges whereby an individual agrees to various terms with a larger societal group. For an auto example, Ford Motor Company has had many Ford family members running the company; however, General Motors has had only one Sloan in the form of Alfred P. Sloan who had no children and his foundation operates on the East Coast. George Herbert Mead does not say much about power in his social psychological theory, and when encountering the topic, the authoritative symbolic interactionist text by Sandstrom, Lively, Martin and Fine (2014: 177-184) after a very brief review of the concept largely embraces the social exchange theory of Richard Emerson (1962) that sees power as dependency. It integrates a bargaining theory of power into symbolic interactionism, and alters the symbolic interactionist discussion of power by putting it into a context of social exchange and types of social mobility. This generalized exchange does not demand immediate payback and helping one may lead to them helping another so that the initiator of the exchange does not expect immediate payback. Following Goffman and bridging Mead and Athens, there seem to be two modes of behavior: (1) a general form of sociation where people generally intend to get along with each other as friends and associates, and (2) a strategic form of interaction that looks more like bargaining behavior where one has a sense of seeking specific monetary or other gains. All of the families used internal generalized exchange which can be referred to as bonding capital (Putnam 2000, 2020). A major difference between the two concerns how strategic people can be. In row 4 (items 10, 11 and 12), people with low rank view their social position due to their lack of ability, and they engage in accepting the other imposed upon them by higher ranking people. 2000; Sandstrom et al. Their generalized others will have fewer long-term relationships and rely on a constant influx of new exchangers. Trust may develop. The family can also be a source of conflict, including physical violence and emotional cruelty, for its own members. This involves two aspects of networking. The low-status people will have negative generalized others vis--vis the high-status othering persons. Trust may develop. And you know that the funeral director will not only do it to repay his debt, but if he does not, the Don will most certainly take a pound of flesh. For instance, if the exchange takes place repeatedly over time, norms evolve about the relationship. In a formula this might be: Your Power = 1 / Others dependencies on you, The others power = 1 / Your dependencies on the other, Relative power in = (Your power) (Others power). This means that for those who go upward on the social scale, some will go downward. Generalized exchange was promoted by Malinowskis Kula Exchange in The Argonauts of the Western Pacific, and by studies of gift exchange with specified shells as the gift. In the end, I conclude that both Athens and Mead are right but both are also incomplete. While they may have their differences, they show a lot of similarities when comparing certain traits within a certain theory including the economic inequality, deviance and gender as discussed above. Their chances of positive mobility are greater. Although Boston elites tended to discriminate against the Irish, some Irish social entrepreneurs become more powerful over time. Thus, our goal is to present an overview of the territory that symbolic interaction and sociological studies of emotions share and then analyze the most challenging direction for interactionist research: understanding the reproduction of inequality. They see four factors as being important in the creation of inequality: oppressive othering, boundary maintenance, emotion management, and subordinate adaptations (Schwalbe et al. A major difference between the two concerns how strategic people can be. In generalized exchange, there are five different types (Ekeh 1974: 50; Janoski 1998: 82-85). Keywords Sexual Harassment Emotional Experience Identity Work Emotional Labor This means that for those who go upward on the social scale, some will go downward. First, Helen Hilton marries a musician who then becomes a factory worker. The symbolic interaction perspective, also called symbolic interactionism, is a major framework of sociological theory. In restricted exchange, there are six different types from individual to various types of group and societal exchanges (1, 3 to 6 in Table 5.1) (Ekeh 1974: 46-52; Janoski 1998: 77-82). In a sense, they are saying I want my social mobility back or I dont want others to be rising above me with their own social mobility. On the other hand, those on the bottom may make the claim that upward mobility has no effect on others at the top, but relationally, this is not the case. And downward mobility is much more painful than lack of mobility. In it, gifts can be used to benefit the whole community through philanthropy, but they also may serve to create patrimonial relationships. There are also many examples of people gaining great wealth or political influence through more restricted exchange. Further examples can be seen in the development of trade unions. Exchange theory then leads to bargaining processes, which will be discussed more fully in chapter 9 on the macro-level. We do not have to trade caring for power, and for the most part, we can see these two forces as being consubstantial in society. Collins theory is based on people being unequal in their resources, which links to power resources theory but he is a bit vague about the connection. Their chances of positive mobility are greater. Inequality and Social Mobility in Symbolic Interactionism. Oppressive othering penetrates the generalized other of Mead and indicates that people may promote or justify their positions in society by providing looking glass-self messages to others that they are inferior, inept, unworthy or otherwise inferior to themselves. In row 1 (items 1, 2 and 3) high status persons who feel that their status is based on ability engage in self-justified othering where they are validated, and they develop powerful virtual selves. Nonetheless, Athens does present symbolic interaction with an initial approach to power, which this theory sorely needs. Ones and the others alternatives are measured by the number of alternatives times their value, which is the value of the alternative times its probability. But again, the social mobility boundary is fought most between row 3 of the vulnerable high-status people, and row 6 of the discriminated against but talented low-status persons. The purposes of these oppressions are boundary maintenance processes to indicate that the oppressors belong to a superior group and the subordinates belong to a less worthy group. And lastly, Joseph P. Kennedy was the son of a successful Irish businessman. All too often, the processes of the generalized other are portrayed as supportive othering such as mothers and fathers interacting with their children in the socialization process. Instead Athens prefers to see the pursuit of power as the basic motivating force for human beings and their groups. [1] This theory is elaborated by Samuel Bacharach and Edward Lawler (1980, 1981; Cook and Rice ) as power being the inverse of the number of valued alternatives that one may have in the sense of not being dependent on the relationship with the other. Political sociology can use these exchange processes to show how various political interactions can be negotiated. But it is the high ranking but protected people and the low-ranking discriminated people who are the most likely to engage in social mobility conflicts. 2017; Sandstrom et al. In their fearful position, they intensify their oppressive othering through discrimination with high intensity and emotion. Afterwards, he says that no payment is necessary, but: Someday, and that day may never come, I will call upon you to do a service for me. Closer relationships like kin and close friends are more often in a generalized exchange relationship with a high degree of bonding in long-term relationships. We do not have to trade caring for power, and for the most part, we can see these two forces as being consubstantial in society. Second, Beverly Johnson comes from an ethnic and lower-middle-class family and marries a man whose family has a prominent background. "Symbolic Interactionism, or Interactionism for short, is one of the major theoretical perspectives in sociology Interactionists focus on the subjective aspects of social life, rather than on objective, macro-structural aspects of social systems For the interactionist, society consists of organized and patterned interactions among individuals. Our chapter explores the contributions of symbolic interactionism as a theoretical perspective in sociological studies of emotions. With higher divorce rates, there is a direct correlation between the way we view the roles in a marriage/family and the overall health of said . In one way or another, George convinces his three brothers and one sister to also become personal injury lawyers. Medical doctors rising above homeopaths with the Flexner Report are a good example, but the process also applies to nurses seeking bachelors degrees to promote the status of RNs (Larson 1977; Abbott 1988). The same would apply to group exchange. Her idea for social mobility is to work herself at the telephone company and maintain kinship and neighborly social relations. Their internalizations are highly manipulative and can often be violent because they are located closest to the boundary between high and low status, and they know it. The second type of exchange is generalized exchange. In row 5 (items 13, 14, and 15) people may be of low rank because of accidents or bad luck. These can be seen in birthday parties in a family (group to individual that is closed by family members) or birthday parties at work where the exact people in the group may be constantly changing as employees come and go. Also, Richard Titmus in the The Gift Relationship (1997) describes the difference between exchanging blood based on it being a gift or being paid for the donation. Symbolic interactionism concentrates on individuals who assign, share and agree on symbolic meanings and mannerisms. The second type of exchange is generalized exchange.
