This book explores the contemporary relevance of Charles H. Cooley’s thought, bringing together scholars from the US, Europe and Australia to reflect on Cooley’s theory and legacy. Offering an up-to-date analysis of Cooley’s reception in the history of the social sciences, an examination of epistemological and methodological advances on his work, critical assessments and novel articulations of his major ideas, and a consideration of new directions in scholarship that draws on Cooley’s thought, Updating Charles H. Cooley will appeal to sociologists with interests in social theory, interactionism, the history of sociology, social psychology, and the sociology of emotions.

Recensioner i media

A reimagination of Cooley was overdue, and the editors have not only collected a diverse variety of contributors for that reimagination, they also presented the reader with texts that form a cohesive whole. This book thus offers a necessary and timely reframing of Cooley. It inspires thought on digital culture, the inequality of imagined communities, the role of emotion and writing. It is genuinely surprising and insightful, and it has the potential to spark entire scholarly ventures on these issues. The volume thus not only retraces Cooley and does not stop at expanding our understanding of his work; it is a genuine conversation starter on a host of issues that are central to symbolic interactionist and wider sociological debate. Michael Dellwing, Leuphana University Lüneburg (GER), review in Symbolic Interaction (2020)
