hermeneutic or interpretive sciences (from Habermas)
Paper details:
(1) at least briefly define the hermeneutic or interpretive sciences (from Habermas); (2) at least briefly define the perspective of the reading (symbolic interactionist) and explain how it fits within the category of hermeneutic/interpretive sciences; (3) clearly define any other key terms that appear in the focus question (eg. line/face; face-work; school boy order/ritual order; ), and (4) present a clear argument in developing your response to the question (What are the implications of Goffman’s analysis for claims we would like to make about the uniqueness and authenticity of our individual “selves”? To what degree is one “an individual” within ritual orders of communication and interaction?).
