Class Social Interaction and Communication

  • Presentation

    Presentation

    The notions of social interaction and communication find their genealogy and privileged use in North
    American philosophy and sociology, namely in pragmatism with John Dewey, in the Chicago School with
    George Herbert Mead and Robert Park, in symbolic interactionism and sociology by Erving Goffman. In
    addition, the course seeks to provide a perspective on theories that see the interaction in processes of
    knowledge formation. Furthermore, it is intended to explore, in the context of contemporary theories of
    communication, the role of technology in promoting original processes of social interaction, the
    constitution of identities and the relationship with the world.
