postmodernism and inquiry
...symbolic interactionists were among the first in the social science community to join issue with postmodernism... interactionists have rejected the subject-object dualism, spectator's theory of knowledge, and correspondence theory of truth, opting instead for the subject-object relativity, participant observation, and perspectival approach to truth. (p. 303)
emphasis on the marginal, local, everyday, heterogenous, and indeterminate (p. 304)
self-identity, seen as socially constructed, emergent, and plural (p. 304)
Unmistakable though it is, the affinity between interactionism and postmodernism is highly selective.
