Mikrosoziologie

A couple with two households, a crisis meeting between politicians or the narrated life story of a violent offender are examples of the variety of topics in micro-sociology. Generally speaking, this field is concerned with forms of sociation. Starting from the field’s lines of tradition and a definition of its subject matter, this textbook outlines the theoretical foundations of micro-sociology and presents selected research studies. It addresses themes such as power and violence, conflict and causing offence, and deception and lies, while placing a great deal of attention on the changes caused by digital media. The book makes it clear that these social forms are always closely connected with emotions.
