Quando o indivíduo se transforma: reflexões a partir de Mead, Goffman e Garfinkel

Abstract

This paper is a reflection about how social theory addresses the question about crisis in and of an individual. Therefore, I will start with Mead and his pragmatist analysis of the self. After, I will comparatively adress the transformations of the individual in the work of Goffman and Garfinkel. The three authors will be articulated and this theoretical effort will allow us to understand their concepts of individual, social action and social order.
