Reviews
'The author writes on a grander scale and has achieved considerable respect within the symbolic interaction-ist community by doing so...I am in fact enthusiastic about this fasci-nating work, and I hope that others will not only read it, but also explore more deeply the enchantments within the grand interhuman caverns where Perinbanayagam, in this and many other volumes, has scattered the light of his imagination.' Robert Wade Kenny, University of Pittsburgh, Symbolic Interaction
-Perinbanayagam has given us another extraordinary look at the dramas of our everyday lives and of ourselves as symbol-using creatures, providing rich accounts of the ways we respond to and engage emotionally with objects and others. There is no other writer on drama who has shown us the many ways we do emotional things: emotions are always dialogical acts directed as attitudes toward objects. Emotions are subject to language, to words and to categories, and to the many and varied judgments these words contain and transmit. This is an impressive accomplishment.- --E. Doyle McCarthy, Fordham University
