| Summary: | <div><p class="Moment-Baslik-32">The Chicago School of Sociology has made important theoretical and methodological contributions to the field of ethnographic studies. The urban monographs of the early Chicago School and the theory of symbolic interactionism are the most recognised of these contributions. The focus of this study is on the following question: What does the Chicago School’s ethnographic legacy in general and in particular its theory of symbolic interactionism mean for the current digital ethnographic studies? Hence, this study (i) discusses the outlines of the literature of the Chicago ethnographic research; (ii) indicates the position of the theory of symbolic interactionism in the school’s tradition of ethnography; (iii) analyses how the theory of symbolic interactionism relates to the digital ethnographic studies. </p></div> |
